Dumb and Dumber 2 was great

[scottcarter]

The place was packed last night.
Critics never give movies like this good reviews.
I think the first D&D had bad critic reviews.
66% user review is not bad for a movie like this.

And besides. I don't need someone tell tell me if I should like a movie or not.
Im more then capable of watching a movie and deciding if I like it or not.

And some of the worst movies I have ever seen were movies that critics loved.

Some of the movies of the years that have won all the awards are unwatchable for me.

agree 100%

cant wait to see it. I am sure I will love it as much as you did.


everyone is different when it comes to all sorts of things. Movie, music, food etc.

The worst movie I think I have ever seen was The Transformers. For the first time ever, I walked out of the theatre. Yet, they apparently made a few more of them.

Im just now reading some of the reviews just to see what people think.
What I have learned is the the critics hate it, and the fans of the the first D&D loved it.

Looking at some of the old reviews of D&D 1 from the critics you would have thought D&D 1 was one of the worst movies ever made.

This movie is for people who liked D&D 1.
If you did not like D&D 1 don't waste your time seeing part 2 because you will hate it.

Only if you liked part 1 will you like part 2.

D&D was never a movie that everyone got.

It is one of those love it or hate type movies.

I fall into the love it category.

the first one is a classic. I must have seen it 50 X already. I pretty well know every scene word for word. from the opening scene when Lloyd is in the the limo asking for directions, right up to the very last scene at the bus "You'll have to excuse my friend. He's a little slow. The town is back *that* way." ..... Genius.

Well, there goes an honest assessment from you....

 

[RenoChazz]

Bourn did you like the first one?

Scottcarter, agree on transformers, thought I was the only one, when they kept making movie after movie, I was like WTF.

 

[CHOPTALK]

The new favorite line for this movie is going to be "but not as"

 

[CHOPTALK]

This is my feeling on the movie after thinking about it for 24 hours.
Comedy is all about timing.
If this movie would have come out 2 years after the first 1 everyone would have loved it.


I also feel like if part 2 would have been part 1 and came out 20 years ago it would have been just as popular as 1 is now.
And if 1 would have came out this week it would have still had the same issues that the real 2 is having now if that makes any sense.

 

[CHOPTALK]

People underestimate how new and fresh part 1 was when it first came out.
When the first movie first came out there were not that many movies of that type at the time.
Since then 20 years later there have been 100 imitations of that type of movie so by the time part 2 came out it was not as fresh as the first version.

But if you judge it on its own its almost as good as the first one.

This is a decent review from a critic.

Let's make one thing clear right off the bat: Not everyone is going to laugh at this movie. If you didn't like Jim Carrey's antics 20 years ago, odds are he's not going to change your mind now. If goofy pratfalls, outrageous gross-out humor, and people doing absurd and profoundly foolish things to one another doesn't sound appealing, save your money. If you're too good to laugh at the sight of a cat pooping feathers, you should probably seek entertainment elsewhere. Don't go see this movie because I liked it and then send me a tweet complaining it was stupid. I'll tell you right now what I'd tweet back: "Yes, exactly." This movie is stupendously stupid.
Although 20 years have passed since the first film, 'Dumb and Dumber To' basically begins right where its predecessor left off. Our empty-headed heroes have spent the interim in a sort of two-decade holding pattern, the result of an elaborate prank played on Harry, by Lloyd, and when they emerge in the present, they have retained all of their quirks, ticks, bad haircuts, and obsessions with bodily functions. From there, they pay a visit to Lloyd's parents, where he learns he is adopted (the fact that his parents are Asian probably should have been a clue). That's bad luck for Harry, as it turns out his kidneys are failing and he desperately needs a transplant. Fortunately, he also learns that he has a daughter he's never met (Rachel Melvin), and after tracking down her mom (a very game Kathleen Turner), the intrepid/ignorant duo set off on the road to find Harry's next-of-kin (and next-of-kidney).
The early scenes are easily 'Dumb and Dumber To''s worst; there are a lot of moving parts to get into place, and some misguided racial humor with Harry's parents falls completely flat. But once the film becomes a road-trip comedy—and basically starts ripping off the original 'Dumb and Dumber'—the jokes start to come faster and bigger. Harry and Lloyd also pick up a very effective comic foil in the form of Rob Riggle, who joins them on the hunt for Harry's daughter and gets caught in an ill-advised prank war with his riding buddies.
Most of the plot might be rehashed from the original movie (Harry and Lloyd off on a confused adventure in search of a beautiful young woman while trailed by a man who might want to kill them), and there are probably too many callbacks (even Billy, the blind kid Lloyd sold a dead parakeet to 20 years ago, has a fairly substantial supporting role), but the gags themselves are surprisingly fresh. Describing them would also spoil them, so let's leave the discussion of the film's humor (which, again, may not be to everyone's tastes) to this: No Hollywood movie since 'Anchorman 2' has had laughs this big. A few comedies have worked more consistently (like 'Neighbors'), but none have rivaled 'Dumb and Dumber' in terms of laugh-until-you-cry gut-busters.
Much of the credit for that goes to Carrey and Daniels who remain almost pathologically committed to Harry and Lloyd's stupidity. They possess the two crucial qualities for any physical comedian: fearlessness and shamelessness, and their hard work finds laughs even in the weaker material. (Carrey turns the simple act of eating a hot dog into a physical-comedy clinic.) The stars also deserve credit for not Botoxing their faces into oblivion in the last twenty years. Both remain wonderfully, goofily expressive; if anything, Carrey's mug looks even more rubbery than in 1995.
It would be a fool's errand to try to ascribe some kind of larger meaning or significance to 'Dumb and Dumber To' beyond its ample comedic value. But let it be said that Peter and Bobby Farrelly, brothers who have worked together for their entire adult lives, have once again crafted an affectionate tribute to brotherhood (Harry and Lloyd aren't related, but they're clearly partners for life). The Farrellys' place at the top of the Hollywood comedy food chain has been stolen in recent years by Judd Apatow, but rather than try to mimic his style, they stuck to the guns and made a good old-fashioned throwback to their raunchy '90s comedies. It's way funnier than it has any right to be, and compared to the dreadful prequel 'Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd,' it's practically 'Last Year at Marienbad.' 'Dumb and Dumber To' is a Farrelly brothers movie through and througher.

Chop I loved the first one. Did you not read my comments a few posts higher? I don't listen to critics either. But damn not even close to the first one. Imo

 

[Bourn]

The first one was greatness Just seemed to be mailed in and didn't come close to laughing. Ranks right along with Grown Ups. Interested to see what other people think.

I wish you would have stayed.
Although I thought the first half of 2 was good, the 2nd half of 2 was much better then the first half of 2.

I think that was the biggest difference in 1 and 2.

On part 1 I thought the first half of 1 was better then the 2nd half.

On this one it picked up the further along it went.

Too bad you left early. The best parts was once they were at the convention which was after you left.

You know what? A big reason I left is because when I walked in not many people were there. I sat on the very top row in the middle. 10 minutes after the movie started a couple came in, black dude and white girl. 20 years old maybe. They sat 5 seats to the right of me and I be damned if the dude wouldn't shut the fuck up. They had no interest in the movie and I could just hear his stupid ass voice in my ear. That could have contributed some to me not liking the movie. It took me everything I had not to tell him to shut the fuck up. I should have walked down a few rows and stayed. Oh well

 

[Akillies]

heard it was bad really bad

 

[Bourn]

heard it was bad really bad

Yep. It's walk out bad I'm telling y'all. I know funny. And that wasn't it.

 

[festeringZit]

Just got back from watching it w/ my 17 year old son.

We both thought it was really good.

8/10

My son thought it was as good as the first, I thought it was a little bit worse...

 

[Bourn]

Teenagers think everything is funny. Their brains aren't fully developed. Like chops.

 

[shdw01]

Seen it.....It had funny parts but id much rather watch old school, hangover 1, something about mary, or an american pie movie.


to be fair I liked the first one but didnt love it

Thats about spot on to my opinion heck I could have wrote the same thing. Had some laugh out loud moments but other times I thought they tried too hard. Solid 6 or 7 out of 10
