The 3D
The 3D to this movie just takes the cake. I am not a fan of 3D (unless it's in a theme park and extremely cheesy, like Terminator 2 3D) but the 3D in this movie is awesome. So many weird things are thrown at the screen and it's done throughout the entire movie. Plus, it is cheesy and the movie makes fun of 3D ("It's 3D. You know Daddy Daughter Day.") in numerous parts.

Disrespects Everything Under The Sun
What made this movie so fun for me is that I didn't mind everything getting disrespected. There is so much drug and sex in this that if you have any qualms about ANYTHING being in a film, you probably won't enjoy this. This is very much a stoner film. Everything is so messed up it doesn't make sense to a sober person. Mind you, this movie is a comedy so everything done is for laughs and not to gross you out.

Neil Patrick Harris
As NPH makes the hit show How I Met Your Mother, he makes this movie. Though he isn't in the movie a lot, he leaves the most impact. I could've made a review just about what he does in the movie. If you like NPH you should see this movie just for him. He is THAT good. NPH did "address" his gayness. However, if anyone thinks it's serious, they are dumb. It is done, as with the rest of this movie, for laughs. And laughs only.

Final Thoughts
This movie is good, but the 3D in it is really essential for enjoying the movie. A bunch of the jokes will fall flat when seen in 2D. I don't believe it is being shown anywhere in 2D. If it is, take the 3D version. I didn't see this movie after consuming anything so my review isn't biased because of that.
