dumb and dumber to - 6/10 - as expected it could not live up to the hype. i'd definitely give the original a 10/10 and still to this day one of my favorite movies and it never gets old, but this one just felt like they were "trying" to be harry and lloyd of the past, and not actually BE the characters. now that said, there were some HILARIOUS parts, like big time LOL parts. and i definitely picked up on some subtle jokes that took a second or two to get, so i'm betting on a second watch there will be more of those too. but overall it just felt like they couldn't quite get the same feel of the original, which isn't surprising. i also feel that them LOOKING older but trying to act the same just felt somewhat off.
Alot of good comeidies are like that. Even today when I watch Dumb and Dumber for the 51st, 52nd and 53rd time I notice new jokes that I somehow missed. The comedic timing in Dumb and Dumber is perfection. The little side jokes are hilarious. And the obvious jokes are killer. And they always go back to previous gags like Peetie being on "A Current Afair". Fricikin hilarious.
I as hoping D+D2 would have the same great elements but I somehow knew it wouldn't. But then again, once on DVD there might be alot of things in it that were missed on the first watches.
I thought Rushmore was dreadfull till I found out a friend loved it. Then I watched it a second time .. a third time. etc. That movie is incredible but you might miss alot of hte jokes the first time through.
