La suite de la comédie culte des frères FARRELLY avec JIM CARREY et JEFF DANIELS. Vingt ans après, Lloyd et Harry sont toujours amis – et toujours aussi débiles ! Quand ils apprennent qu'Harry est père, les deux amis se lancent dans un nouveau road trip à la recherche de sa fille. Ils vont sillonner le pays à bord de véhicules toujours plus improbables, semant la folie et le chaos jusqu'à un endroit où ils n'auraient jamais dû pouvoir se retrouver... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

Malheureusement, Dumb and Dumber De est une suite totalement indigne de l’excellent road-movie qui s’est fait instantanément une place parmi les meilleures comédies des années 90. Dans l’original, l’humour fonctionne à merveille et la bande-son sent bon le parfum de l’époque. Les frères Farrelly ont repris les mêmes matériaux qu’ils ont utilisés vingt ans plus tôt, mais n’ont réussi qu’à répéter les gags qui faisaient mouche dans le premier film et à les compléter par une intrigue sans queue ni tête et une dose d’humour vulgaire. Des maladroits sympathiques de l’original, ils ont fait des imbéciles égoïstes et gonflants. Et la vision des traits fatigués de Jim Carrey est plutôt triste que comique. Mais qui a bien pu souhaiter un numéro deux pareil ?

Le film est, pour un tiers environ, largement au-dessus de la moyenne, voire génial, plein de blagues bien affinées avec des punchlines percutantes, pour un tiers moyen et inoffensif, et pour un tiers il s'agit de la pire merde possible pouvant provoquer des ulcères et des coliques, notamment bien sûr la scène où une vieille centenaire se fait tripoter entre les jambes et d'autres types d'humour de mauvais goût. Ajoutons à cela un scénario complètement dément et absurde basé sur le fait que les deux héros principaux se comportent comme de véritables égoïstes, je ne peux donc que le déconseiller, bien que j'aie ri à une dizaine d'endroits. La meilleure option serait de monter les meilleures scènes et de les mettre sur YouTube...

I’ve avoided this sequel for a long time. Melancholic returns to such legendary works usually turn out to be way too melancholic. But it’s different this time since this movie perfectly distanced itself from the first one. The humor is where it’s lacking though. It’s often more cringy than funny. And that’s a lot considering Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey play the exact same two idiots as they did 20 years ago. But with movies, humor does it. Here, one funny moment is followed by two cringy ones. Which is a shame, but there’s nothing we can do about it.

I thought no comedy was going to surprise me this year after 22 Jump Street and Suck Me Shakespeer, and wham Jim Carrey returns after 20 years and made mincemeat out of me again. An incredibly slick, cheeky, funny and catchy comedy, this type of humour suits me. Carrey's quips never get old, he's such a great comedian. The great thing is that the jokes don't let up and from start to finish these two jerks are on a treadmill making up everything they can and I was rolling on the floor laughing. Some interesting twists and turns and Rob Riggly's disguise is unforgettable. 80%

There is a wacky and crazy road trip full of unbelievable situations and a wacky sense of humor, though what else would you expect from Dumb and Dumber? Harry and Lloyd are back, and from the opening joke, when you find out why Lloyd is actually in the asylum, it is obvious that he is in great shape. Plus, Jim Carrey is once again perfect in his role and can show off and goof off like no one else can, and Jeff Daniels proves that he may be the only one who can keep up with Carrey. If anyone was worried that these guys were getting too old and did not have it still in them, I could assure them that they convinced me otherwise. I was wonderfully entertained for the most part, so I cannot rate it any differently than the original movie, although one of those stars is probably out of sheer nostalgia.

The return of truly distinctive characters, different from the legendary first movie only in that "Dumb" is now "Dumber" and "Dumber" is now "the Dumbest" (if you know what I mean...). Yes, it's unbelievably stupid, but only in the sense that the story mostly recycles old jokes and situations and as a whole resembles something an eight-year-old scribbled on a piece of paper an hour before and under the pressure of the approaching bell. BUT most of the individual jokes, whether rehashed or original, maintain an admirable level and, most importantly, there are so many of them even in one scene that a few cringe ones can easily go unnoticed. Both Carrey and Daniels exude incredible vivacity and enjoy their roles in an unprecedented way, but I'm all the more pleased with the fact that the sudden fits of laughter were never caused by their goofiness, but by a well-thought-out or just-right joke written in the script. Sure, I was quite influenced by the excellent atmosphere in the crowded theatre, but the important thing is that I don't regret the money I spent, so I thought about the fourth star for a while – but it fits, with all due respect, to a slightly more sophisticated form of entertainment...

It's awful nonsense, but I can't help it. There's definitely a bit of nostalgia in there, along with my love for Jim Carrey, but those two idiots just click with me. The way they goof around, how truly stupid they are, and they're not alone in that. Penny, who appears here, is a great companion to them and fits in perfectly. I laughed, and that's what I’d hoped for.
