Review of Dumb and Dumber To (2014) by Kyle C — 25 Jun 2016

It's been 20 years since Harry and Lloyd dumbed their way through situation after situation, and was it all worth it, well, some parts of it yes because the funny parts for the most part, are very, very funny, but in between all of the funny parts are forced jokes and a story that is lackluster and pretty lame at best.

Jim Carrey is still one of the best comedic geniuses but he's forcing his way through some of this and Jeff Daniels is, well, just too old to play this part. The supporting cast doesn't help either because they aren't all that strong, Kathleen Turner sleepwalks through her role, Rob Riggle is annoying and all the others are just there.

Like I said, some of the laughs are at a very high level but the majority of the rest falls flat. They even tried to recycle some of the jokes from the first film, but were delivered in a way that you knew that it wasn't genuine.

If this would have been released a few years after the 1st film I think that it would have been more well received but this one was one that the fans have been asking for so they decided to do it, and this was all they could come up with? I'm pretty sure the majority vote wanted more.

I'm going to have to go NEUTRAL on this because I did laugh so I can't completely hate it but it was difficult to get through the rest. Jim Carrey's good, but that's the only plus I can give it, sorry.
