A passable comedy for delinquent kids and unambitious teens with time to kill, Dumb and Dumberer does for prequels what Jerry Springer did for daytime television. With only faint connection to the 1994 hit starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, this ill-conceived prequel follows the Carrey/Daniels characters, Lloyd and Harry, as they bungle their way through high school. The principal and his demented lunch lady (Eugene Levy and SNL alumnus Cheri Oteri) have hatched a scheme to embezzle funds intended for students with "special needs," and Harry & Lloyd unwittingly recruit a few "intellectually challenged" classmates to fuel the plot. Veteran TV director Troy Miller prefers to keep the humor low and lowerer: Scatological jokes, puerile double-entendres, and juvenile sight gags ensure that Dumb and Dumberer lives up to its title. As Lloyd and Harry, respectively, Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson deliver a few laughs, but they're stuck in a movie with special needs of its own. --Jeff Shannon

A Dumb Idea.......2007-09-04
Only Jeff Daniels is Harry.
Only Jim Carrey is Lloyd.
This sequel is a terrible move, especially when it succeeds a memorable 90's comedy. The actors that take over the roles for Harry and Lloyd are just plain bad at acting, and they are more annoying than funny. The story line makes no sense at all. It's just a copy-paste hack job passed off as a script, and it severely lacks focus, something you can truly remember, and passion.
The only redeeming character in this movie is Bob Saget, in which he plays a borderline-coprophobic father, and he has done much better in the past (i.e. his cameo appearance in "Half-Baked"). The scenes involving Bob Saget were the only parts I could remember, and when a cameo actor makes a more memorable and interesting role than the lead characters, it's going to flop. That's just what this movie did.
Forget this movie existed. Don't buy it used, and don't even download it illegally. It's not worth your time.
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!(gunshot).......2007-04-29
That was the sound you heard after I watched this "film". I was gonna shoot myself in the head, but I thought it would be better to shoot the disc instead. The makers of this piece of crap should be publicly humilated. This thing is just awfull. EVEN BOB SAGET CAN'T SAVE THIS! This could be the worst movie I have ever seen. Watching this movie is as much fun as getting impaled in the groin with a throwing star. It's cruel and unusuall torture. When we catch the rapists and the murderers in this country, don't kill them. Just make them watch this on a 24 hour loop,7 days a week. They would want to die. -1,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars.
Funnier than the original, the main characters where soooo.......2007-04-28
cute. This has a flimsy plot, but I really thought it was funny. The two main characters are adorable together. I thought it was better than the more pricey original. And if the "Lloyd" character didn't look exactly like a younger version of Jim Carey, I'll eat my hat. Don't think about this movie just laugh.
Slip on a Banana Peel Funny.......2007-03-09
This is a very silly movie, but if you are in a silly mood, it's great. It certainly isn't a movie for those who want intellectual, witty comedy, but if you need a dose of good ole Three Stooges like silliness I think you will enjoy it. I felt real good after it was over with and laughed a great deal, especially the part about the "little bus", but I don't want to give it away. It isn't for everyone, but it is for some of us.
Awful and a discrace to the original D&D 0/5 stars.......2006-12-16
This movie was just plain stupid these young disabled kids who are the resemblence of jim carrey and jeff daniels were just stupid annoying and not funny and kept getting worse. They make fun of mentally disabled kids which I don't think is funny especially that scene with that horrible feces incident where harry had an accident which he doesn't know how to clean his hands he just smears it all over the walls in the bathroom. I love the original dumb and dumber they had alot of hilarious humor that made me laugh and it was a classical comedy but this dumb & dumberer movie was crap and should never have been made it was a discrace to the original movie and to the fans too. Don't waste your money on this crap go for the unrated version of the original dumb and dumber instead you won't regret it.
