  Review by JΔΣΞS Β ★★★★ 7

  In theaters November 14th, 2014.

  I was pleasantly surprised to find the magic is still there for the Dumb and Dumber crew, some 20 years on from the release of the original film. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels pick up right where they left off as Loyd and Harry in yet another road trip, this time in search of Harry's long lost (attractive) daughter in the hopes of convincing her to donate a new kidney to her dufus dad. But really, who cares about plot... is it funny? For my money: Yes, very.

  'To' walks the dangerous ground of referring to the first film playfully yet without pandering, and continuing jokes that were funny enough the first time - and…

  The fact that they totally missed that spelling error in the title is perhaps the funniest thing in this rehash of stuff that also wasn't funny the first time round.

  Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★½

  A watchable affair more or less with a couple laugh out loud moments but falls short in every conceivable way when compared to the original and far more successful Dumb and Dumber!

  Review by Austin Gorski ★★★ 4

  "Nah, that's just a suburban legend."

  You could say that I'm a pretty big fan of the original film, Dumb and Dumber. So while I was excited for this film, I was also worried that it wouldn't live up to the standards set by the original. Well, it didn't. It wasn't even close. But then again, did any of us really expect any other outcome? Instead, we got a sequel that almost acts as a remake in a few ways, but I saw it more as a drive down memory lane. And to my surprise, I didn't really mind. Because even if there's probably more callbacks than original jokes, I laughed my ass off quite a few times.

  The first…

  Review by SilentDawn ★★½ 1

  What was the first thing that I heard when this was over from many audience members?

  "Well, It wasn't as good as the first one."

  Really? Did you really think that would actually happen?

  Let's get something straight; Dumb and Dumber To isn't very good, and I can't recommend it unless (like me) you're a huge fan of the original or you're a fan of the Farrelly Brothers.

  The plot is like a jarring mix of a trip down memory lane and a rehash of the first film. It doesn't really work, and the story gets way more complicated than it needs to in the final act. The chemistry between Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels works so well, and it's…

  Review by Filipe Furtado

  Very funny and pretty much predicted in the space between the two movies and Farrellys slowly erosion of audience during it and as such it is both a declaration of principles and one of the smartest self-referential movies of the year. The obvious reference point is Landis’ Blues Brothers 2000, another 20 years later sequel by a comedy auteur of one his earlier beloved films that is very self-aware about its position, but Dumb and Dumber To is a good deal funnier, it is world more lived in and outside of a couple of callback gags that land flat the commentary never gets in the way of the movie. Glad to see those guys making a whole successful film, it has been a long time and American comedy was a lot poorer for it.

  Review by Matt Singer ★★★½

  If you're wondering if Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are too old to play Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, the braindead boobs they so memorably played in 1994's original 'Dumb and Dumber,' the answer is yes. That's also at least 15 percent of the joke in ‘Dumb and Dumber To.' If the sight of two thirtysomethings acting like immature jackasses is funny, the sight of two fiftysomethings acting like immature jackasses is downright perverse—and therefore even funnier. 20 years later, Harry and Lloyd haven't matured in the slightest. If anything, they've actually regressed. Their loss (of brain cells) is our gain (comically).

  Review by baradetski ★★★★★

  The ultimate late-period film: revisiting the same characters from the Farrellys’ first (and arguably most iconic) movie 20 years later, and instead of holding onto the endearing nature of the original they expose Harry and Lloyd as the mean-spirited, aging psychopaths they’ve become. It’s a very dark picture, and ultimately acts as a critique of the Farrelly’s entire body-of-work (it’s no wonder Peter has since started making more “serious“ films, there was really nowhere else to go after this). The opening and ending really state it perfectly: making your best friend wipe your ass for two decades, guilt tripping your best friend into getting a kidney removed... all for a gag — “that’s... AWESOME!!”

  Review by Jordan James Brooks ★

  I can remember the trailer for this coming out when I was in school, and thinking it looked somewhat promising. Considering my love for the original, I held extremely high hopes. 

  Unfortunately those hopes were shattered to pieces, as what we got was a film that didn’t resemble the nineties classic in any shape or form. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels both look the part, but their reprisals of Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne were severely hampered down by awful writing. Not one funny moment. 

  It’s hard to believe both the Farrelly brothers returned to direct this.
