Dumb and Dumber To

Well, I was pretty excited to see this one, knowing that no matter how bad it might turn out to be, these two still would never fail at making you laugh, now it's not as good as the first, but it sure does make you laugh, it's just unbelievable how dumb these two are, time will never heal how stupid they are, and they sure won't be getting better any time soon, they're still as dumb, still funny, and still as entertaining as they were in the first, but I don't know if it's just me or the fact that the first was just too good to beat, I was honestly expecting this one to be even more fun, but it wasn't, the first was better, but this one wasn't bad at all, I would go back to watch it again with a friend if I was asked to, you wouldn't get bored watching this, as everything these two do is a complete mess, it's worth the watch, and definitely worth the ticket.

Yes I know it's only one "o" and not two. Or two if you talk about the title (it could be a "w" missing also, depending on what way you want to go). But back to the movie. I haven't seen that unofficial movie that was made in between those two movies. But I was excited about this getting our two main characters back together (literally). Is it as good as the original though? You probably won't think so.

And neither did I. But it's still a good movie, especially if you were a fan of the original. You just have to accept, that some jokes will be replayed (the end credits even put similar scenes side to side with video/pictures of them being shown). Not perfect, but the chemistry is there and it's as mean as it was back then ...

Dumb and Dumber To had so much to give us. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels still have great chemistry with each other, and they still can make this movie funny. Even though this movie is not as good or as funny as the original movie, it's still an enjoyable, entertaining, and funny movie to watch with your friends, family, and if your a fan of the original Dumb and Dumber. Don't skip it, watch it.

Dumb and Dumber To (2014)

*** (out of 4)

Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) decide to take a road trip when a medical condition has Harry trying to track down the daughter he never knew he had. Along the way the two get caught up in a murder plot and well as countless misadventures.

DUMB AND DUMBER TO was a film fans wanted since they walked out of the original movie twenty-years ago. Considering how long it took to arrive, I must admit that my expectations were rather low. There's no question that this film isn't nearly as good as the original but with that said, it kept me smiling throughout and it did feature some very big laughs. Again, I understand how some fans are upset at this thing because there are certainly some flaws but at the same time there were just way too many funny moments not to enjoy it.

Of course, one of the biggest highlights was just seeing Carrey and Daniels back in the roles that they made so memorable. For the most part I thought both slipped back into them quite well, although there's no doubt that Carrey seems more "in character" as Lloyd. The two certainly have some great chemistry together and after two decades they're still able to work well off of one another. Rob Riggle is also very funny in his supporting role as is Laurie Holden, Kathleen Turner and a couple nice cameos.

While watching the film there's certainly a very uneven feel to it. This was pretty much explained during the closing credit when I saw six writers listed. It seems that there really wasn't a good story to carry these guys through and it really did feel at times like they were just throwing anything on the screen just hoping that people would laugh. This uneven flow is what kept it from being as good and as fresh as the original but there's just no denying the countless laughs that do work. There were times when tears were running down my face but others where I couldn't believe they'd even attempt the joke that fell so flat (the AIDS one). Still, DUMB AND DUMBER TO has me hoping that Lloyd and Harry revisit us in another two decades.

My dad once stated that Dumb and Dumber was his favorite movie at one point. Recently, my dad came over to see the arcade room. He wanted to be over so his wife could have alone time. My dad also has dementia.

So when I found Dumb and Dumber 2 on free movies, then my dad revealing he never saw it, this would be a great father and son movie.

It wasnt. What it was could be best described as a film trying to be something it's not and tries to be what it once was and failing all at once. Was there any passion in any development? I guess you can say Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniel's was a still trying to give something out of this horrendous script, but it just felt that so much passion was lost in the writing that our main stars have to resort to potty humor to squeeze in more laughs from the kiddies.

The film follows Harry and Lloyd when they discover Harry has a kid and his friend Lloyd has the hots for her. Now the structure itself is basically the first movie and every time you turn around, theres another member berry like, "You know what the SECOND most annoying sound in the world is?" And just randomly out of nowhere they find that dog car they drove in the superior original.

My dad eventually turned to me and said I was putting him to sleep. A man with dementia would rather go home to his evil wife than sit and finish this sequel dreck? And seriously? They like twenty or so years to think of a good sequel, and they came up with this? If this was a better movie like the first one, I would have had a pleasant memory with my dad. Our parents arent around forever.
