I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
We can't have a wise behavior unless knowing what's a fool behavior. I don't know if some scenes of this movie wasn't, how could I improve music history in my instagram page.
To have the opportunity to continue the hilariousness that is of LLoyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, and completely butcher it, making them not DUMB anymore, but full-blown retarded...I mean...what a shame. What a DAMN shame!Had this been made in the 90s...it may have been better. But, humor has changed over the last 20 years. Nobody thinks subtleties are funny anymore. Today, you have to be almost absolutely foul in order to get a chuckle. And it hurts characters like these guys, because they weren't meant to be foul. They were meant to be simple. And it worked back then! But now? Not so much. Simple is no longer funny. Simple makes you have to think...and nobody likes thinking anymore. If it's not in your face offensive, it's not hilarious! Desensitization is to blame here.Seriously what were they thinking, though...not knowing what "sex" is? Not knowing how human reproduction works? And lets talk about how slipping back into character was a complete FAIL for Daniels, but easy peasy for Carey. It was so obvious that it was painful to watch! Talk about a real struggle. This character MADE Daniels...but jumping back into him proved to be a impossible task. It was as if Daniels was trying to jump into the character of Harry of when he was a teen, played by Derek Richardson in Dumb and Dumberer- (another terrible movie).You directors had the world and you crushed it. What a shame. What a damn...shame....
Dumb And Dumber is my favourite comedy of all time, it told the story of two dimwits named Harry and Lloyd who travel across the country to deliver a briefcase with money in to a girl Lloyd fell over heels in love with, all whilst being pursued by thugs who wanted the money themselves. there was a prequel in 2003 but the less said about that, the better. but when it was announced in 2013 that a sequel was in development, I was excited but when I eventually saw it, boy was I disappointed.Harry and Lloyd reunite to again travel across the country to get a kidney from Harrys supposed long lost daughter Penny, who Lloyd has a crush on, whilst annoying any normal person on the way. their characters are botched in this film, turning them from good hearted yet highly unintelligent grown men, to bullying pranksters who cause so much trouble, you don't root for them as you did originally.Another problem is they rehash jokes from the original and dumb them down a lot, (Weird Outfits, Lloyds daydream about killing baddies to impress his crush, strange cars, and having a henchman riding with them.) overall it just comes off as a cheap re hash of the original.As with a lot of Adam Sandlers recent movies, the same brand of humour that The Farrelly Brothers made us crack up at in the original, are lost here.
what a wretched piece of dog doo this thing was.it misfires in every possible area.at;s not at all funny,the dialogue is crap and the talents of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are completely wasted here.this was truly idiotic tripe.it was also mean spirited.the Farrely Brothers have made some entertaining films,but this isn't one of them.the characters are not in the least likable or sympathetic.iv'e seen a lot of bad movies in my lifetime,some which were probably intentionally so.this movie doesn't fall into that character.of course,this is just my opinion.i believe everyone involved in this disaster thought they were making a good movie.as awful as it was,this isn't the worst movie I have every seen.for that reason only I give Dumb and Dumber To a 2/10
