I wasn't ever a tremendous cult follower of the first 'Dumb and Dumber' film, but I always found it quite funny. This offering is still amusing, but has left me with the same impression as before - that there are plenty of other films out there more amusing than this, although it's funny enough to keep me occupied for the time being. It's interesting to note that it has taken nearly 3 years for the film to be completed and released, mainly because Jim Carrey withdrew at one stage, due to be unsatisfied with the process and Warner Bros refused to produce the movie.
We catch up with Lloyd and Harry 20 years on from the first movie. This time however, Lloyd is spending his days in an asylum after being committed there after his doomed relationship in the last film. Harry visits him every week, helping him and talking to him, until Lloyd tells him it was all a prank, and they head to Harry's apartment. Once there, Harry imparts some serious news, that he needs a kidney donor and fast.
They go to Harry's parents house to ask about possible kidney donations and Harry's dad gives him some mail he never picked up. One piece is a postcard from Harry's old girlfriend from 1991 saying that she's pregnant. And so the adventure begins.
Silly stuff, but I love Jim Carrey so it's worth it.
