So I saw the newest sequel to the Farrelly brothers' 1994 hit (the first sequel being the 2003 prequel, Dumb and Dumberer...which Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels didn't work on), and all I can say is, Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne are back! Dumb and Dumber To wasn't as hilarious as the first flick, but it's nice to see Rhode Island's most imbecilic duo still wreaking havoc and being as moronic as ever! The main note I have of this film: For a nitwit who was 'stuck' in the nuthouse for 20 years, Lloyd sure knows his way around cellphones (unless he had access to the device during all the years that Harry stopped by to change Lloyd's urine bag and um, wipe his arse). In one scene, he quickly knew which button to press on a camera phone to take a photo of a picture of Harry's supposed daughter (Penny Pichlow, played by the lovely Rachel Melvin)...but in another scene, Lloyd is idiotic enough to climb out onto the front of a moving car to wipe a smudge off the windshield (the smudge was on the inside of the windshield, FYI). (Let's also not forget the fact that Lloyd didn't know that we landed on the Moon till '94!) This crazy fool is all over the place! Anyways, seeing as how the end credits (no spoilers here) featured side-by-side shots from the first Dumb and Dumber and the latest movie to show how much Lloyd and Harry changed (or didn't) over the last two decades, methinks that this was a one-shot deal for Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Oh well. Somewhere out there, Mary Samsonite is glad that the two buffoons who returned her suitcase in Aspen, Colorado are still having a good time. Carry on.
