Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd

The first time I'd watched this movie I had only seen 25 minutes worth, since I came in on it late. But I kept going back to see it because I'd never seen the whole thing completely, and was at the time excited about it because of how much I'd loved the original.

And I must say that I was very disappointed by it all.

For one the actor they picked to play Lloyd I think did an "OK" job, they did a rather great fixing him up to look like Jim Carrey, and that was perhaps the most impressing thing in the movie. On the other hand the Harry did an awful job. I mean not only did he not remind me of Jeff Daniels Harry at all, he annoyed me to no end.

The plot is probably the most pathetic thing about it all, I mean the original movie FOCUSED on Harry and Lloyd, and all this prequel did was go back and forth from Harry and Lloyd, to the classmates, to the Principal and Lunch Lady. And I just couldn't help, but wondering why it was necessary to have all these characters, and why exactly the plot needed them. I thought most of that was a complete waste. Which in turn made the plot meaningless.

Sad to say, I cannot give this film just one star because I actually liked Eric Christian Olsen's performance, and I ADORE Cheri Oteri no matter what.

Therefore I give it two stars, because there ARE some funny scenes in the beginning, but if you're the kind of person who's going into it expecting the perfect remake, laugh out loud funny from beginning to end, and something you'll want to watch over and over, you WILL be disappointed.

The first Dumb and Dumber was a pretty funny movie, and they didn't have to be so offensive in the process. Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels were able to make the characters work mainly because they had a plot and a knack for taking something and making it humorous. There was enough substance to actually make a scene have a comic effect. It looks like they should have left well enough alone, and forgot the prequel.

I don't know what they were possibly thinking making this film; it failed in every single respect as a comedy. This movie is insulting, shallow, tasteless and unfunny all at the same time. It really lacked much of a plot also, as the idea of the principal choosing these guys to try to form a class is absurd. The movies really had no direction and no hope. The actors who play Lloyd and Harry look pretty much the same as Jeff Daniels and Jim Carey, but the dialogue is amateurish and petty. There is absolutely nothing funny about this movie, and, like me, you may turn the movie off after 30 minutes or so.

I don't say this often about movies, but this one should come with a refund.

Me and my dog, we got the both of them in the one pack, called the Dumbest DVD pack ever or somthing? it's an Australian release "Owl Bee Barch, Itz Nodda Toomor"

I should have known that the movie was bad, because my dog didnt even want to use it as a frisbie! I tried for hours and hours to get that little mutt to chase it, but he just sat there staring into space. I could tell by the look in his eyes he was saying "the original tasted better the seaqull is bad", i wasnt sure what was wrong with my dog? he usualy enjoy's chewing up bad movies and letting me frisbie them around for him. But he just sat there, didnt move... I called the vet, and the vet told me he'd been dead about a week! I shouldve known, I had to raise his leg for him, and hump the neigbours furniture and stuff...but even so, the look in poor 'Sniff Dougie Dogs' eyes was telling me before I watched it. They where saying that 'the original was better, the seaqull is bad!'

So on a final note, I dont want to have to tell you that the original was better and the seaqull is bad, I will just instead of that say that the original was better and the seaqull is bad! the dvd is packed with about a billion easy to find easter eggs, but even my dog took one sniff of them and didnt want to use the DVD as a frisbie! he said it was a bad movie, even from just smelling it!

"Here boy, catch" *thud*.... he's too tired, he's sleeping now, he'll play frisbie later, wont you, yes you good boy... yes... doggie is communicating again! He says "Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof" but if you dont speak dog? then lucky for you i speak fluent doggie talk and am here to translate for you, he says "original good, seaqull bad" He also says i'm a bad speller... and also, he does it because he can! I dont know what he means by that? But he swears that the original is good, and the seaqull is bad, and I agree that the original is good and they should have made bonus features galore for that one, the seaqull is bad yet filled with useless bonus features, so I will just say that the original was good, and the seaqull is bad!
