Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd Reviews

Initial Thought: I could have sworn I saw this before. I can't really tell if I have or not. I honestly don't remember anything that happened. So I'm going to watch it again and see if it jogs my memory. It could have been just so bad my memory refuses to acknowledge this movie. The good thing is that it's fairly short.

Characters/Acting: Sequels without the original actors playing the same characters hardly ever work well. This does have a few decent actors though surprisingly like Mimi Rogers, Luiz Guzman, Rachel Nichols, and Shia LaBeouf. It does have Lin Shaye in it though which brings expectations even further down than expected. She is even a return actress although not sure if the character is the same. I thought the two main guys were slightly better than I expected. Thank goodness Lin Shaye only had one scene. Bob Saget was honestly the only funny thing about this whole movie. Shia LaBeouf was basically Louis from Even Stevens only a tad smarter. I wish there was more of Mimi Rogers here.

Story: 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. That opening scene was just plain wrong. It was more disturbed than funny. It has a few okay moments, but I have to say the bathroom scene was actually pretty funny. The ending was pretty funny too.

Directing/Writing: Troy Miller takes this as both the writer and director. I loved Tenacious D and Jack Frost was pretty good in my opinion. This is the only time he has written a film though. The story was Robert Brener's idea. He doesn't have any other credits besides this. The Farrelly brothers obviously didn't care that their characters were spoiled here. They ended up making their very own subpar sequel.

Final Thought: So that was pretty dumb like expected. That wasn't in a fun way though. I really just couldn't take this seriously. This is one trilogy I never really liked in the first place. The humor is supposed to be dumb, but I don't particularly find that satisfying all the time. I mean I only considered the first one to be average at best. Anyways I wouldn't recommend anyone to explore these films.

Obviously, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was broadcasted on TV, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, to be honest, I think that the first movie is actually one of the most overrated movies ever made so how could I enjoy this prequel which has been labelled as one of the worst movies ever made? Eventually, it was indeed quite terrible. The main issue was that the whole project was so misguided. Indeed, even though I didn’t like the first installment, it was obvious that the biggest assets were Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels and to make another movie about those characters without those guys seemed rather pointless. To be honest, there was actually one scene that me and my step-son really found hilarious. It was that scene when that one guy thinks his bathroom is covered up with shit and starts to shout like crazy. It lasted about 30 seconds and, somehow, we ended up watching this scene 20 times which was rather weird. Anyway, before and after that scene, the whole thing was completely worthless. To conclude, it is pretty much deserves its lousy reputation and it is definitely not worth a look whatsoever and you should pretty much avoid it.

i thought this movie was going to be funny but its not at all. seems there just trying to make more money from a classic movie dumb and dumber from jim carrey and jeff daniels. the 2 in this movie are just crap. not worth watching

I had enjoyed the first movie, partly because I love Jim Carrey. However, when I watched this horrible sequel, I could not help but detest it.

It had a poor story and I didn't like the actors. It was too obviously made only to get some money off an old success.
