DVD Review : Dumb & Dumber To

Two decades after Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels’ endearingly dense pairing spun slapstick comedy into box office gold in Dumb and Dumber, the long-awaited sequel, Dumb and Dumber To, arrives on Digital HD on February 3, 2015 and on DVD and Blu-ray^™ Combo Pack and On Demand on February 17, 2015 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber; There’s Something about Mary; Me, Myself and Irene) the Dumb and Dumber To  Blu-ray^™ Combo Pack offers hilarious extra belly laughs including an alternate opening, deleted and extended scenes, and a multi-part feature that takes viewers behind the scenes of the no-holds-barred comedy.

The side-splitting sequel also stars Rob Riggle (The Hangover, 21 Jump Street), Kathleen Turner (Marley & Me, Romancing the Stone), Laurie Holden (“The Walking Dead,” Silent Hill), Rachel Melvin (My Funny Valentine, “Days of Our Lives”), and Steve Tom (“Major Crimes,” Seven Pounds).

 Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their signature roles as Lloyd and Harry in the sequel to the smash hit that took the physical comedy and kicked it in the nuts: Dumb and Dumber To. The original film’s directors, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, take Lloyd and Harry on a road trip to find a child Harry never knew he had and the responsibility neither should ever, ever be given. Along for the ride are co-stars Kathleen Turner, Laurie Holden, and Rob Riggle.

My Thoughts

Dumb and Dumber To follows the lives of two idiotic friends named Harry and Lloyd. The original movie was one of the funniest comedies of all time, and this film gives us a look at what the guys are up to twenty years later.  Harry is a father and the two guys go on a road trip to find the child he never met.

This movie was funny at times, but like most sequels,  it was not as good as the original. There are a lot of slap slick laughs like in the original, but I did find that instead of the innocent stupidity we saw in the first movie, in this film, there were times when the characters was just mean, self-serving and rude, which made it hard to root for them.  Overall, while it wasn't quite as good as the original, it was still nice to seen this comedic duo reunited. As a child of the nineties, it brought back lots of memories.
