The movie feels very forced. A buddy adventure, like the first two movies made sense, but a "reconnection through adversity" trope feels tired and it seems to take a lot, to include new buddy teams and cross competition just to get them to a point where their buddy adventure high jinks can start and we get some nostalgia for the previous movies.
The Neil Patrick Harris bit feels super problematic, though it is HIM doing it so I guess it is okay.
It's a "Harold and Kumar" adventure in a movie about moving away from "Harold and Kumar adventures" towards something about responsibilities and putting family first.
