The Farrelly brothers co-produce, write and direct this sequel to their 1994 hit comedy. The film follows the dimwitted duo Harry and Lloyd (Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey) as they reunite after twenty years to hunt down Harry's biological daughter Penny (Rachel Melvin) when he finds out he's in desperate need of a kidney.

It's awful nonsense, but I can't help it. There's definitely a bit of nostalgia in there, along with my love for Jim Carrey, but those two idiots just click with me. The way they goof around, how truly stupid they are, and they're not alone in that. Penny, who appears here, is a great companion to them and fits in perfectly. I laughed, and that's what I’d hoped for.

About a third of the film is strongly above average to great, full of polished jokes with crackling points. A third is average and harmless, and the final third is the worst shit that causes ulcers and gripes, which of course has to include a scene with putting a hand in the crotch of a century-old woman and similar tasteless humor. If I add to that the completely demented and nonsensical plot based on the fact that both main protagonists behave like extremely selfish people, I cannot recommend it, even though I did laugh quite a bit in about a dozen places. The best option would be to cut out the best of scenes and upload them to YouTube...

Sadly, Dumb and Dumber To is a totally unworthy sequel to the excellent road movie that instantly carved out a place among the best comedies of the 90s. The Farrelly brothers reused the same material they had used years earlier, but from the likable goofs in the original, they made selfish, puffy fools. And the vision of tired Jim Carrey features is rather sad than comical. Who could have wished for such a number two?

I thought no comedy was going to surprise me this year after 22 Jump Street and Suck Me Shakespeer, and wham Jim Carrey returns after 20 years and made mincemeat out of me again. An incredibly slick, cheeky, funny and catchy comedy, this type of humour suits me. Carrey's quips never get old, he's such a great comedian. The great thing is that the jokes don't let up and from start to finish these two jerks are on a treadmill making up everything they can and I was rolling on the floor laughing. Some interesting twists and turns and Rob Riggly's disguise is unforgettable. 80%

I’ve avoided this sequel for a long time. Melancholic returns to such legendary works usually turn out to be way too melancholic. But it’s different this time since this movie perfectly distanced itself from the first one. The humor is where it’s lacking though. It’s often more cringy than funny. And that’s a lot considering Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey play the exact same two idiots as they did 20 years ago. But with movies, humor does it. Here, one funny moment is followed by two cringy ones. Which is a shame, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
