Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd

I really liked the original Dumb and Dumber. I thought it was a hilarious comedy that was better than it looked because of the writing/directing of the Farrelly Brothers and the acting of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. When I originally heard that they were doing a sequel to Dumb and Dumber, I was somewhat enthusiastic. Then, it was announced that they were doing a prequel. Enthusiasm meter dropped some. Then, the Farrelly Brothers announced that they wouldn't be involved. Enthusiasm went down some more. And finally, it was said that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels weren't returning and were to be replaced by younger people. Enthusiasm went straight to hell. But I still decided to give it a chance because Eugene Levy was in it and he always finds a way to make the movies he's in funny. I was wrong again.

The plot - Harry and Llyod meet in the '80's and foil the corrupt principal's plans to steal money for himself and his mistress, the trashy lunch lady. Easily the stupidest plot I have ever heard. And I haven't even started dissecting this trash yet.

Besides being a waste of celluloid, I have never seen such a cast whose talents were so horribly wasted. And there were so many good actors in this. There was Eugene Levy, Cheri Oteri, Luis Guzmán, Mimi Rogers, Shia LaBeouf, and the obligatory cameo by Lin Shaye that happens with nearly every film from New Line (in fact, I wonder if she has some hidden cameo in the Lord of the Rings trilogy). The two actors who replaced Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels - Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson - are good replicates, but they just weren't Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. The cameo with Bob Saget was dead before it even began. And then, this "film" is so filled with so many mistakes (not including the film itself), I still wonder if this was done accidentally or by the filmmakers to see how many people would notice every mistake the film was filled with.

I thought Gigli was a much better film than this (and that's saying something). This film is nothing but a waste of time, celluloid, talent, and air. I would rather have a root canal without anesthesia than sit through this hunk of garbage, which I rated as the #1 worst movie of 2003, ever again.

I saw this movie with my cousin at a nine o'clock showing on the first day it was released. We expected nothing of it, and we were not disappointed. The best part was Bob Sagat screaming "there's sh*t everywhere", at the time I commented how prophetic that line was. I just don't understand how they could make this movie and throw feces all over the memory of the first one. The only thing the movie had going for it was that the two guys who played Lloyd and Harry looked like Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels if you kinda squinted and turned your head at the right angle. Oh yea, and when we left that movie so brain damaged us we forgot where we parked and spent 5 minutes looking for his car.

...or how to make a comedy without a laugh?

When I first heard that there's a sequel to Dumb and Dumber I was ecstatic since this was the best comedy in ninenties and certainly one of the best comedies ever. But after seeing opening credits (No Jim & Jeff), I was a little sceptical. Never mind, it still can be good...

Erghh, wrong. The movie was getting worse and worse. The leading characters were shown like a couple of retards (very unlikable, since in original there aren't THAT slow), who were just trying to imitate Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels and failed miserably. Lack of charm, i guess. But the main fault goes to script writer who provides a lot of already seen jokes as the rest of the producers of this crap.

I agree, it would be nearly impossible to beat the original version, since it was full of original black humor, but hey, at least they could try harder. Despite that movie sucked, it has some moments...but since i can't remember any if them, i couldn't rate it higher than

3 out of 10.

Very rarely do I see a movie that totally disgusts me, and this movie did just that. The original "Dumb and Dumber" was funny because Daniels and Carrey weren't trying to act as stupid as possible, their characters were just dumb and didn't realize it.

In this "film," (and I use the term loosely) the poop jokes abound, the characters are just plain stupid, and nothing is funny. Cheri Oteri and Eugene Levy look like they wish they were somewhere else the whole time, as does Luis Guzman as Lloyd's father. The actors who play Harry and Lloyd just try too hard and the whole movie falls flat. And I can't even remember what the "plot" was about. Who dragged Bob Saget into this thing? Was it just so he could say sh*t during every scene he was in?

This "prequel" should have been forgotten about altogether. We didn't need to see how Harry met Lloyd, it was a lot funnier meeting up with them in adulthood and going from there.

I'm giving this movie absolutely no stars at all because there isn't a single redeeming quality about the movie, period.

This is absolutely the worse movie I've EVER seen. I can't believe it was even produced. Watching this move used up quality time that I could have been using to watch the wind blow instead. Actually, I did this quite a bit anyway while watching this at the drive-in. Don't pay to see this -- it'll probably be on network television very soon.
