DVD Reviews of Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (New Line Platinum Series)DVD Review: A HILARIOUS PREQUEL!!! Summary: 5 StarsTo me, this is a very funny prequel to 'Dumb and Dumber' It shows how they meet. It actually shows that they were dumber in high school than they were in the original. Their dialogue and shenanigans are hilarious! I remember getting this movie for Christmas back in 2003. There was one part me and my friend talk about is when they see the "short bus" and they think it's for them because they are cool and the cool kids sit in the back of the bus, and every seat was in the back. Another part I love is when Harry goes to Jessica's house and everything he does is very funny! If you love comedy or Harry and Lloyd, then you'll love DUMB AND DUMBERER: WHEN HARRY MET LLOYD!!!
DVD Review: not as bad as people say Summary: 4 StarsGranted, there's NO WAY this is better than the original Dumb and Dumber, which is a classic. But the amount of jokes in the sequel, and the fact I was actually laughing at most of them (obviously ignoring the really dumb ones) I have to admit, I liked it.
Trying to get a storyline out of something like this is really a waste of time. Don't even THINK about caring about any kind of logical story. You're probably not even supposed to care about that. You're supposed to laugh at the jokes, many of which are pretty stupid I admit, but I can't help but laugh when a good joke I happen to find funny appears.
The poo smeared all over the wall scene, the many scenes that involved the two guys constantly deciding whether girls are gross or whether it's cool to think about them naked, or the REALLY dumb scenes that involved the guys going to a store and getting a slurpy. The guy working at the store was the main thing that made these parts funny.
It's just a pretty good movie, but nothing spectacular.
DVD Review: underrated? Summary: 4 StarsA lot of people don't like this movie because they just compare it to the original Dumb and Dumber and want to see the same actors, but I think it is a funny movie. The casting it very good. The actors really seem like the original films' younger. Although somet things are a bit cliche and expected, it is still enjoyable.
DVD Review: A Dumb Idea Summary: 1 StarsOnly 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.
DVD Review: Funnier than the original, the main characters where soooo Summary: 3 Starscute. 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.
Description of Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (New Line Platinum Series)Harry meets Lloyd and assembles a ragtag team for a high school experience unlike any other in this prequel to the hit comedy, Dumb and Dumber. 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
