Purposely crude, over-the-top sequel lives up to its title.

Don’t waste your time

Parents please don’t let your children watch this in any age. It is not only age appropriate but moral distortion for human kind Not only sexually but in every ways. I regret that i did not switch off the TV when he put his hand in an old lady’s vagina. I couldn’t imagine the movie would go any worse. I am so disgusted Please people don’t waste your time watching movies like this but also please don’t waste your time making these evil stuff that taint and pollute our loved ones mind. Very very sad .

Over the Top and Cruder Sequel

I have grown up loving the first Dumb and Dumber. It was full of gross- out humour that really was funny and it's just a plain awesome film. This sequel, was disappointing. It had a lot more crude sexual humour and language than the first and was going out of control. Was it funny? Like the first , it had the same type of humour... though, It went TOO far. Common Sense, you missed a few things here. Overall, this film wasn't too good and it wasn't something new either.

What's the Story?

It's been decades since Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carrey) were set loose out in the world. Lloyd, who's been at an assisted care facility, has been perfecting a long con on Harry; meanwhile, Harry has been a devoted and supportive friend to Lloyd. When Harry discovers an old postcard indicating he may have gotten a woman pregnant many years ago, the two pals head out on the open road on the road to meet Harry's progeny.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (13 ):
Kids say (39 ):

Nostalgia is the fuel that will propel DUMB AND DUMBER TO, not excellence. The film is trading on its past glories. Though there's still chemistry between Daniels and Carrey, it's not enough to carry the film past its obvious shortcomings: an uninspired script that recycles old jokes, a worn-out plot, and crude humor that's neither funny nor relevant much of the time. Fans of the original may still get a kick out of the film, but if you're new to the game, you may not want to bother.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about why the main characters' antics are funny on film but inappropriate in real life. What would happen if people really acted the way Lloyd and Harry do? Why is comedy based on things that aren't realistic funny?

  • Hollywood seems enamored with sequels. How does this one fare compared to the original?

  • Though there's no nudity in Dumb and Dumber To, there's lots of sexual innuendo, particularly when Harry and Lloyd meet women. Is the film chauvinistic?

  • Why do you think Harry and Lloyd are so loyal to each other? What keeps their friendship enduring?
