    Awful.

    Maybe I am just a caring person, but I thought this movie was overall not funny and insulting to special ed kids. It's one thing to make a brief reference (as was done in "Agent Cody Banks"), but this movie was just over the top. Do the producers not know that special ed kids have their own feelings? I have worked with some and know that they enjoy movies...but they probably hate this one. This could have been a lot better if they had left the special ed jokes out. Profanity was moderate, sexual content was there, but the special ed jokes outweigh all of those. Do NOT show this to a special ed kid. They will be insulted.

    Sucks!

    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.

    Painfully bad...

    While browesing through my local Blockbuster I was looking for a movie to watch in my car on the way to Long Island. Unfortuanetly I picked Dumb and Dumberer. I had heard that it was bad, but I figured, "reviewers are wrong all the time, and besides I loved Dumb and Dumber."

    Dumb and Dumberer is set back in the 1980's when Harry and Lloyd first meet eachother. Step 1: If your going to make a movie set in the 80's don't be waving around NEW five dollar bills. Step 2: Why ruin the first movie by making a dispicable prequel.

    This movies humor is very much 2nd Grade. If you get a kick at of hearing Bob Saget say SH*T a billion time's then sure go watch this movie. Another that made me mad was how really dumb they were. At least in Dumb and Dumber they had some sense of common sense. In the prequel there is not one inkling of common sense. It almost makes you want to hurt yourself over how dumb they are.

    The only good thing about this movie was Eugene Levy. As always he was histerical. Without him this movie would have been 2 inexperienced actors, literally walking around like a bunch of retards.

    Bottom line: F+ (with out Eugene Levy) F

    Pathetic cash in on Hilarious original

    Was this movie necessary!? This is a truly terrible film, woefully unfunny to the extreme. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels were excellent in the first film and in a different league to the two actors in the roles as the young Harry and Lloyd (the guy cast as Lloyd does look like Carrey, except for the blue eyes). If there was ever going to be another film about these two characters it should have been a sequel starring the original pairing, instead we get this stinker. Dumb and Dumber hardly had an Oscar winning story line but gave us some great characters and a hatful of ball bouncingly funny gags, in the 'prequel' the weak story collapses under the weight of even weaker jokes! So uninspired is this movie that there are even rehashes of jokes from the original, just done slightly differently but in a totally inept manner. Dumb and Dumber is a classic, this is a pile of steaming doggy doo doo's. Do yourself a favour stick with the Carrey film and avoid this limp fish at all costs.

    THE WORST PREQUEL...

    ...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.
