This was one of the worse movies I've ever seen. I can't think right now of a movie that was worse. I did not laugh once during this movie. It's a cheap insult to the movie going public. You saw the first Dumb and Dumber, and that was funny. I was laughing so hard during the bathroom scene that I was worried I would hurt myself. So after having seen the first one, you gotta go see the sequel, and the movie executives know this. They knew that just the title alone would fill a lot of seats, and they made absolutely no effort to make a decent movie.Throughout the movie I sat there. The lady I was with wanted to walk out. I paid $7 for myself and another $7 for her, and I'll be doggoned if I wasn't going to get at least one laugh out of it. I sat through the whole movie hoping that I would get at least a chuckle. After the first few minutes I knew I wasn't going to get a laugh worth $14, but I at least wanted something for that kind of bread. I didn't get it. I never laughed once. When I came out, not only was I disappointed but my lady friend was angry with me. I don't know what they could have done to make this movie worse.

Now this.. this is a load of garbage. The first Dumb and Dumber had me laughing so much, but this, I only got a few laughs out of this. I have to admit it was a pretty funny movie, at parts, but compared to the first movie, this was nothing. I'm surprised they decided to go and make this movie with out Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. I never even heard of the actors who played Harry and Lloyd! The thing that irritated me the most was Euguene Levy. The whole movie turned into a drama after he was in it and took away from the whole point of the cartoonish comedy in the movie. He ruined the movie. This movie was nothing compared to the first. They should have not made this movie. And Dumb and Dumber To is coming out this year, and they aren't even counting this movie as the second! That's how bad it was. At least Dumb and Dumber To has the old actors in it and the same characters. Plus it is going to be a cross-country road trip. There is really no point in this movie. 3/10 because of how horrible this was compared to the first.

I just saw this movie for free on Film 4 after seeing the title on a Saturday afternoon and with sun in the sky. I thought, ' Hey another Dumb and Dumber film, I'll stay in and watch it!'Well, the fact is the movie is still playing as I write this and I never turn off from a movie. I studied film studies at college, and if a film gets bad I think about how they filmed it while still watching it.To be blunt, I can't even do that with this movie.1 star... read the other reviews. The 5 star one was obviously fake and planted. Take note of every review on here except that one, avoid this movie. Do not even mention this movie to friends because they will out cast you because of it.Unfunny, uninspired and UN worthy of even watching once!

Once there were Laurel & Hardy. Then Abbott & Costello brought the voice to it. After that, Bob Hope & Bing Crosby came to somewhat change the formula with singing and a bit of sexuality. But when Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis broke up at the end of the 1950s it was the end of an era. The hole during the 1960s, 1970s and the 1980s was filled by names like Eric Morecambe & Ernie Wise (nice gents from the British side), Terence Hill & Bud Spencer (more popular in Italian spaghetti western movies), Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau, Tim Conway & Don Knotts, and finally Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor. After that.. Hmmm.. There are no more memorable loyal 100 % comically comic duets anymore.All what you'd have is loud Action/comedy stuff (Lethal Weapon, Men in Black, Bad Boys or sorrowfully Rush Hour!). Or teen garbage with tons of silliness (BASEketball, Dude Where's My Car..). Or rare, and I mean RARE, good decent stand alone examples (My Fellow Americans, Analyze This..). So, the Comic Buddy-movie has become lost. And since the 1980s' end, I think we're living the un-golden age of it ! According to that, let's review my list for their worst or rather the worst of the worst since there is no good ones in the first place ! : 10_Dumb & Dumber (1994) : too stupid, too repulsive, and too overrated to too provocative extent !09_City Heat (1984) : disappointment at its best. I mean Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, Blake Edwards.. How can anything get wrong with them together ? But it did! The main disappointing matter is that the buddy-thing isn't here at all, since the 2 leads share the screen for less than 5 minutes. It's like watching many story lines meets forcedly under the name, just the name, of Buddy-action comedy. In another word : this is a hoax !08_Rush Hour (1998) : well, I love Jackie, there is no doubt about that, but who can stand Chris Tucker; while being the first name of the poster, earning more than a cinema legend like Chan !! If you can bear the way he delivers ANYTHING in this movie, then you're like that character from (The World is Not Enough) yes, the guy who feels nothing !07_Nothing to Lose (1997) : No, there is.. My time in the front of this !06_Turner & Hooch (1989) : somehow the start of the ominous downfall. It began with changing partners in horrible ways (the next step : Whoopi Goldberg teams up with a dinosaur in Theodore Rex !). I can't forget that dog's white sticky drool UGH.. Can you think of a more disgusting partner !05_Hollywood Homicide (2003) : I got simple equation for you : Josh Hartnett + comedy = Flop. I have nothing more.. So this movie !04_Taxi (2004) : the real depressing thing is that the 2 leads are funny indeed. But their movie isn't ! It's nice action, with dry humor. And it kills me to watch (Ann-Margaret) in a movie like this ! Simply this buddy-comedy can't be my buddy ! 03_Fled (1996) : a remake of (The Defiant Ones) ? Laurence Fishburne in comic scenes ?!, Stephen Baldwin in a movie ?!!! Was it a spoof of similar movies ? No, it's bad spoof of itself. I'll never forget a line was said by one of the evil characters while menacing someone "I'll make you wear your a** as a hat !" what was that anyway ??! It'll keep you wondering (about it, so the movie) what was that anyway ??!02_National Security (2003) : Was there anything new ? Or entertaining ? Was it the comedy, the action, anything ?! I couldn't find a single THING. There wasn't even chemistry between the 2 leads. It's a special case of having nothing special. I felt it was a soda pop's can of a movie, and it was tasteless as well. I don't think that we'll see a part 2 of this one (or will we ?!).01_Dumb & Dumberer : When Harry Met Lloyd (2003) : this is the exploitive, hasty and so outrageously silly Hollywood at its frankest examples. And this is the buddy-comedy at its suicide. Ahhh. When will I be able to make a list for the best 10 buddy-comedies of for instance the 2000s ? Or rather to see a respectable one again ?!
