For all its pretensions to bad taste, this is surprisingly heartwarming festive fare.

The laughs may not be as strong as they were the first time, and the sense of discovering something fantastically illicit may have faded to mellow, familiar charms that come with the occasional giggle fit, but that's life as a stoner comedy.

It contains the mother of all blunts, which, wouldn't ya know, burns down the Christmas tree that Harold's glowering father-in-law grew from a sapling.

This film will stuff your stocking with profane, perverse, politically incorrect glee.

If there's a complaint to be made, it's that the humor could be less scattershot.
