Dumb and Dumber To
Rent/Purchase
20 years since their first adventure, Lloyd and Harry go on a road trip to find Harry's newly discovered daughter, who was given up for adoption.
What critics thought
DivisiveThe twenty-year wait for a sequel produced something most critics found more exhausting than funny — a film that lands occasional laughs but strings them between long stretches of tedium and recycled gags. The sharpest disagreement was over whether Carrey and Daniels still have enough chemistry to make the material worth sitting through, with a handful of critics finding the duo genuinely infectious and the majority feeling the Farrellys' style had curdled from transgressive into merely lazy.
“Seeing the two fiftysomething stars in their idiot haircuts again is a little disconcerting, like watching your favorite old band on a desperate reunion tour, but this sequel to Dumb & Dumber maintains a respectable laugh quotient”
J. R. Jones·Chicago Reader
“Dumb and Dumber To may not be quite as funny as the first one, but it's the funniest thing the Farrellys have made since”
David Ehrlich·Time Out New York
“I reckon four out of every five jokes played to silence at the preview screening. If Dumb and Dumber To were a live comedian, he'd have said, 'Is this an audience or an oil painting?' He'd have left the stage in tears”
David Edelstein·New York magazine
“The ultimate sad realization is not that Dumb & Dumber To doesn't match the original's good-time quotient, but that it might not even be as good as - yikes - Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd”
Jason Clark·Entertainment Weekly
“Over all, the movie is just funny enough to make you wish it were much better than it is”
