On Good Morning America today, film critic Joel Siegel indicated that Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, starring Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson, is the worst movie he's ever reviewed. "Dumb and Dumberer is the second F I've ever given out. First one was Bubble Boy [2001]. This one's worse," he commented. Siegel's colleagues may not go that far, but they'd all be sympathetic. "While Dumb and Dumber [the original film, starring Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey] possessed a bracing, genuine vulgarity, this new film is more often merely disgusting," writes Dave Kehr in the New York Times.But will any of these reviews deter teenage kids from seeing it? Not likely. Wesley Morris in the Boston Globe seems to be aiming directly at them when he writes: "I've seen Dumb and Dumberer, so you don't have to. As good deeds go, this is about as significant as getting a cat out of a tree, but believe me, you're better off at home, alphabetizing your old comic books, talking to your parents, or watching paint dry." Likewise Ann Hornaday conveys the hope that the "target audience" will be "sharp enough to realize that just because a bunch of people wasted their time making it doesn't mean kids have to waste their time watching it."
