Pathetic cash in on Hilarious original, 27 February 2006

Author: beardsleythesaint from United Kingdom

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.

some actors, writers, and a director fail miserably at making something entertaining., 4 September 2005

Author: Skyler from United States

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I'm serious. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this movie as you can....ESPECIALLY if you are even just a small fan of the original movie. The actors are horrible, the plot is even worse, and the jokes are completely unoriginal. I am the biggest Dumb and Dumber fan, and when I saw this prequel, I would've rather been stabbed with a pitchfork and dumped in boiling hot wax than sit through the rest of the movie. It was just so disappointing. Of course, I didn't really have high hopes for it to begin with anyway. Instead of seeing this movie, just watch good old' Dumb and Dumber ONE a couple times.

What the ****, 14 January 2005

Author: icechalkhands from United States

I challenge anybody to tell me what the f*** I just saw. I mean is Hollywood even trying anymore. Well I can't lie, I knew it was going to be a piece of s***. But I never expected it to stink this bad. The weird thing about this me being mad thing is, that I'am not mad like disappointed mad, but I could just start kicking someone's a** mad. Who funded this undeserving prequel. Why was there ever a prequel anyways. Please don't waste your life line on this movie.

For one the jokes are so forced on you that you'd have to be a child to understand the humor. Some of the actors in the movie, I've seen in very good movies, like the kid who where the donkey head in the parade, he was good in "HOLES". But I guess he didn't see this hole coming. In summary don't and I repeat don't expect to find some humor in this movie because there is none. I hate this f****** movie.

Ugh, 24 April 2004

Author: Hail2thechimp

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.

Worse than awful. 3,4 is too high for this rubbish, 17 June 2004

Author: Juni78ukr (juni78ukr@yahoo.com) from Odessa, Ukraine

Quite simply, this is an awful movie. There is no excuse for people who made this crap. I thought Gigli was much better film than this. I believe this one is was worst film of the year and at least worst of the decade. No story,no acting, no brains, no heart, no comedy - only waste of time and money for everyone. But that's not all! Also I found this movie absolutely not funny but it's simply insulting and disgusting instead. You must protect your kids from seeing it. It's very sadly to see so talented actors (including Shia Lebeouf, who looked very good in Holes) involved in this disaster.

Avoid all costs and stay away as far as you can from this garbage. It worse than anybody could expect. Don't see it even for free! Trust me! I never felt so miserably than I watched this trash. Why, Why I have lost my time and my money for it? Nobody knows. Anyway, you've been warned.

My rating: F- or 0/10.

Sorry for my bad English.

Unfunny Ripoff, 22 January 2005

Author: bellygod from Los Angeles

Words fail to express my dismay at having wasted a half hour of my life on this film. If it seems unfair to review a movie based on only watching it 30 minutes, excuse me, but how about the unfairness of duping viewers into thinking they're gonna see the sequel to 'dumb and dumber' which was a FUNNY film, with this bait and switch trash? You've got two (to me) unknown, and sadly, unfunny actors replacing the demented and dumb, yet humorous originals Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Then you get a story going nowhere My half hour was spent without a single chuckle; I might have moaned once or twice from indigestion. I couldn't stomach watching any more; I felt I was gonna hurl.

This is one of the worst sequels of all time.

I feel dumberer for having watched it., 21 February 2004

Author: Ford_Maverick from Parkersburg, West Virginia, USA

So my roommate borrowed "Dumb And Dumberer".

God only knows why.

Anyway, he puts it in the machine and shortly afterward leaves the room to take a phone call.

He owes that caller more than he knows.

See, as I hadn't paid any money for it, nor even gotten my butt up off the couch to load the disc, I had little investment in it. Thusly I figured it wouldn't take much to meet my relatively low expectations for it. After all, the first one was pretty funny, right?

Before I continue, it should be noted that this movie had none of the original cast members, writers, directors, etc from the first film.

No one, at least, worth noting.

Now, back to the story. Where the first movie had laughs galore (most of them cheap lowbrow humor, but hey, if I want Shakespeare, I'll read Shakespeare...) this movie had a sprinkling of "That's kinda funny..." and "Was that funny? I can't tell anymore..." moments.

The most telling thing I can say about this movie is that I DIDN'T FINISH IT. Nay, I COULDN'T finish it.

A friend of mine that had the misfortune of being in the room with me at the time said it best when he said: "At one point I laughed at how painfully unfunny it was and I realized that it (the movie) had pulled me down to it's level."

Of course he also said: "Another reason dumb and dumbrererererrer sucked is that both guys were trying to cop Betty White's "Rose" character from the Golden Girls but neither of them possesses her panache or supple buttocks."

Verily, it is a thing of evil.

Having said that, it's not the worst movie I've ever seen. I would have to give some thought to exactly which movie holds that dishonor. "Batman and Robin" is pretty close. But no, I've actually finished worse movies than this. Thing is, in those movies I held out hope that they would get better before the end. With Dumb and Dumberer, there was no such hope. In fact, there was utterly no hope at all.

I did get a chuckle from a couple moments though. Like when the two titular characters walk down the school hallway with their Special Ed class to the theme from the A-Team, and... well, that's it actually.

Oh yeah, Mimi Rogers made out with a little hottie named Rachel Nichols.

The most notable thing about Nichols, other than her being very attractive, is that she's in the new Bruce Campbell film "The Woods" which is currently in post production.

Apart from that "Dumb and Dumberer" can be summed up by the fact that I actually got up off my couch to remove this ultra-boring, ultra-unfunny piece of cinematic spam from the DVD player.

PS: I did put it back in to check the not-so 'Special Features', but I did not find the apology I was looking for.

Maybe it's an 'Easter Egg'.

I don't recommend checking yourselves, but if someone finds it, please let me know. I feel it's owed to me.

THE WORST PREQUEL..., 20 June 2003

Author: Matija from Ljubljana, Slovenija

...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.

Author: Senorls from USA

I love gross and vulgar movies. I love bad movies that have some redeeming

value. I will keep this brief--avoid AT ALL COSTS!!!!! I don't recall ever seeing anything as worthless as this. Everybody below has said it in one way or another. No need to repeat them except to WARN YOU NOT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!

So much potential, turned out utter s**t, 15 January 2006

Author: Chrisgb-91 from United Kingdom

After watching the original, and heard that there was to be a sequel, I couldn't wait to see Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels at it again. I thought it would be the same actors, same directors and writers. When I heard that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels did not take part I still didn't lose hope. When I bought it on DVD with 'Dumb And Dumber' I sat back expecting a fairly funny film, obviously not expecting it to be as good as the original. I sat back in amazement (Not in the good sense), I couldn't believe what utter s**t I was watching. It seemed to be truly brainless, no jokes, just slapstick and it reminded me of American pie type films, Good though they might be but 'dumb and dumber' was more than just a brainless teen movie. For the people who hated the original,after seeing this they would put dumb and dumber up there with Casablanca and Titanic. So much excitement for nothing, An utter piece of s**t. Unbelievably bad.
