I was in the queue for a coffee, knowing the film was going to start any second and I found myself not really bothered by the fact I may miss some of it.. It was almost as if I felt duty bound to see it.. I remember the first Dumb and Dumber with fondness.. Hell, I even bought it on VHS. This one starts off twenty years after the first film and we find a distraught Lloyd (Jim Carrey) in a care home being visited by Harry (Jeff Daniels)... As it turns out Lloyd's been faking illness as a long joke on his pal.. (if you've seen the trailer you've seen this gag... In fact if you've seen the trailer you've seen ALL the gags..) I could go on plot wise but I just can't be arsed..
My main problem with the film is that it just wasn't funny... At all.. I'm trying to think of any funny moments but I can't.. Perhaps I'm not it's target audience as I was 20 years ago.. Perhaps I just don't get it.. Like 'Mrs Brown's Boys' and 'The Inbetweeners'...
I don't know... Maybe I'm getting too old for this sh$t?
Overall a disappointing *1/2 star movie. Not bad in an offensive way.. just bad..
