Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd Storyline

It’s the 1980s, and it’s the moment that Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne meet. The two individuals are seen by many as ‘special’, and become best friends as soon as they meet. Principal Collins and his lover, the lunch lady Ms. Heller, want to make as much money out of scams, and their next idea is to create a special needs class. Ms. Heller is the teacher, and they have assigned Harry and Lloyd to round the special students up. School News Reporter Jessica is suspicious though, and desperately tries to find out the truth, even if it means gaining Harry and Lloyd’s help.—FilmFanUK

Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd Movie Reviews

90 Minutes of Pure, Excruciating Torture

I really liked the original Dumb and Dumber. I thought it was a hilarious comedy that was better than it looked because of the writing/directing of the Farrelly Brothers and the acting of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. When I originally heard that they were doing a sequel to Dumb and Dumber, I was somewhat enthusiastic. Then, it was announced that they were doing a prequel. Enthusiasm meter dropped some. Then, the Farrelly Brothers announced that they wouldn’t be involved. Enthusiasm went down some more. And finally, it was said that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels weren’t returning and were to be replaced by younger people. Enthusiasm went straight to hell. But I still decided to give it a chance because Eugene Levy was in it and he always finds a way to make the movies he’s in funny. I was wrong again.

The plot – Harry and Llyod meet in the ’80’s and foil the corrupt principal’s plans to steal money for himself and his mistress, the trashy lunch lady. Easily the stupidest plot I have ever heard. And I haven’t even started dissecting this trash yet.

Besides being a waste of celluloid, I have never seen such a cast whose talents were so horribly wasted. And there were so many good actors in this. There was Eugene Levy, Cheri Oteri, Luis Guzmán, Mimi Rogers, Shia LaBeouf, and the obligatory cameo by Lin Shaye that happens with nearly every film from New Line (in fact, I wonder if she has some hidden cameo in the Lord of the Rings trilogy). The two actors who replaced Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels – Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson – are good replicates, but they just weren’t Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. The cameo with Bob Saget was dead before it even began. And then, this “film” is so filled with so many mistakes (not including the film itself), I still wonder if this was done accidentally or by the filmmakers to see how many people would notice every mistake the film was filled with.

I thought Gigli was a much better film than this (and that’s saying something). This film is nothing but a waste of time, celluloid, talent, and air. I would rather have a root canal without anesthesia than sit through this hunk of garbage, which I rated as the #1 worst movie of 2003, ever again.

Actually not that bad, Far better than the sequel

People judge this movie too harshly because it’s a prequel to a beloved movie. Yes, the original Dumb & Dumber is far better. Of course it is. No one expected this movie to surpass the original. I honestly think they did a pretty good job. A good number of jokes landed for me and the actors did a great job of portraying what I think a young Harry and Lloyd would act like. They do a better job playing the characters and the actual same actors did in the sequel “Dumb and Dumber To”. This movie is way better than that one in my opinion.

Overall, not nearly as bad as people say and deserves more credit. 6/10.

So I think by now the title officially refers to the writer and the director and not anyone in the movie itself.

It’s hard to believe that it’s actually been almost a decade since the first Dumb and Dumber, which was deservedly a smash hit, was released on the unsuspecting populace. I can see it now. I was in tenth grade, and I still remember ditching class in beautiful Irvine, California to ride my bicycle over to Fashion Island in Newport Beach so my friend and I could steal bubble gum from one of the ritzy drugstores and then go see this movie, which we must have seen in the theaters half a dozen times or so. Where we got the money I’ve been trying to remember for years.

I’d like to start out by saying that I don’t know that the prequel to the brilliant Dumb and Dumber (easily one of the most hilarious comedies to come along in decades) really deserves all of the vicious reviews that it has received from professional and amateur critics alike. It has been a popular and critical disaster from the day it was released, and while it’s true that it is simply a bad, bad movie, I think that anyone claiming it to be ‘absolutely THE worst movie I’ve EVER seen’ might be exaggerating just a little bit. Or maybe I’ve just seen worse movies than these people. I’ve seen some seriously bad movies, and while Dumb and Dumberer is certainly an embarrassing flop, I’ve seen worse. It’s better than Scary Movie 2 and 3 combined, for example.

That being said, on to the crapfests. Dumb and Dumberer, since I have neither the energy nor interest to research the intentions, strikes me almost unmistakably as one of those movies that one studio makes of another studio’s movie. Kind of like how Pixar just publicly insulted Disney at the same time as they ended the two companies’ partnership, and Pixar promptly announced that they would be making Toy Story 3. I expect Toy Story 3 may be a disaster (if the ‘threat’ was serious), possibly even purposely, in order to get back at Disney. I don’t know that this prequel to Dumb and Dumber was done for revenge at all, but I can’t say that it’s all that mysterious as to why the original cast and crew had little to nothing to do with it.

That being said, I have to say that I’m impressed with the actors they found to play the younger Harry and Lloyd, especially Lloyd, because this guy, without the bowl-cut and the chipped tooth, looks NOTHING like Jim Carrey’s Lloyd, but in the movie he’s the spitting image. This is one of the reasons that I think the movie deserves at least minor respect. At least the casting director was on the ball. Sadly, it’s all downhill from there. I have to admit that I was pretty happy to see Bob Saget acting again. Granted, I barely remember him in Full House at all and I saw his one spoken line in Half Baked as the official end of his acting career, but I loved his cheesy jokes on America’s Funniest Home Videos (the ORIGINAL show) so much that seeing him on screen again was almost like a trip back to my childhood.

And then Harry had a little incident involving chocolate, and I started to squirm in my seat, as I’m sure many other people started to do, given the reviews I’ve read. It is expected that some memorable scene from the original film would be almost duplicated in a sequel like this, but Harry getting diarrhea in the original movie was funny because it was there for a reason. Lloyd put massive amounts of laxative in Harry’s tea to get revenge on him for dating the girl that he was after. Crude, yes, but still funny. In this movie, Harry goes nuts with the chocolate in the bathroom and then Jessica’s poor dad (Bob Saget) comes in and screams a numbing stream of profanity about there being feces all over his bathroom. Not only is this supposed to be funny, but there is so much stock put into this idea that it’s duplicated again later in the film.

It’s sad that a comedy as smashing and brilliant as Dumb and Dumber has been followed up by such a stupid, stupid film. While I admit that you can hardly expect for them to have created something as great as Dumb and Dumber again, I really didn’t think that they could have come up with something THIS bad. I mean, just the name itself should have inspired some better ideas for the movie. Sadly, it seems that the powers that be were more interested in throwing a sequel out there than they were in actually making it deserve its title.

And when a movie isn’t good enough to deserve a title like Dumb & Dumberer, it’s a bad, bad sign.
