Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Burkettonhe This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
kevcoop7 To be honest, I have completely forgotten about this movie, in two ways, I forgot what it was about, and that it even exists.Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd is a sad excuse to cash in on the very highly successful and well liked Dumb and Dumber. I applaud Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey for not appearing or even involving themselves with this movie in the slightest sense. This is one movie I liked the first time I saw it, and then when I watched it again, it was so stupid, and I have never watched it again, in effect, I have only watched this movie exactly twice, and that is far too many. heck, even one viewing is far too many viewing.
Python Hyena Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003): Dir: Troy Miller / Cast: Eric Christian Olsen, Derek Richardson, Eugene Levy, Cheri Oteri, Bob Saget: Title is a satire jab at When Harry Met Sally. That film regarded a chance encounter about time and relationships but this idiotic prequel to Dumb and Dumber gives endless vulgarity about stupidity. Lame setup regards Harry and Lloyd taught at home before being sent to high school. The principal plans to extort money and needs a fake special education class to pull it off. Embarrassing climax at a parade with director Troy Miller showing no skill. He previously directed Jack Frost and his talent hasn't improved here. Example of this regards the kidnapped girl who suddenly appears in the conclusion, or the chocolate smeared about the washroom that is mistaken for crap. Can they not smell the difference? This can be credited as a moment in Bob Saget's career that he will likely regret. Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson attempt to fill shoes too big for them. The idea of a narrating regarding their upbringing and first encounter might have worked in hands that didn't belong to Miller. Eugene Levy and Cheri Oteri are wasted as a principal and secretary out to scam their way through life. This film proved to be dumber when you have people who confuse chocolate for sh*t. This film is a perfect example of the latter. Score: 1 / 10
Johanes Pramudio You guys should understand this :Without Jim Carrey, there goes Son of The Mask. Without Jim Carrey, there goes Evan Almighty. Without Jim Carrey, there goes Dumb and DumbeRER.But those are only facts that I've been thinking. The real opinion of mine doesn't depend on the movie actors, but the how the storyline should come from the first movie.They should've only been dumb and stupid, but goodhearted. In this horrible sequel, the director made them retards, a bunch of vulgar guys.I give 1/10 ratings on this one, fellas...
elshikh4 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 ?!
