Dumb And Dumber / Dumb And Dumberer (Box Set)

Advantages: Can be funny
Disadvantages: but not all the time

...Having seen this film, I feel it is a bit of a let-down. The first film, Dumb and Dumber, was a childish, hilarious masterpiece. Dumb and Dumberer just doesn't live up to expectations. I went to see the film on the basis that the trailer looked funny as hell. It was a nice bit of editing. What I saw is exactly what I got and nothing more. The content of the film has the same amount of substance as the 1 minute trailer. The subtitle of this prequel,'When Harry met Lloyd', does indicate the forming of a relationship. But the emotion in this film is nowhere to be seen. It is all based on the gags which are few and far between: I recall laughing about five times through its whole duration of it. I don't want to spoil the film, but I will just spell out the plot in a bit more detail than a synopsis would: Harry meets Lloyd... Read review

Advantages: Sidesplitting gags, schoolboy humour
Disadvantages: Not for the ladies

...which will leave even the most depressed of men in hysterics. And I say men as I have yet find a woman who likes this film. I'm sure there will be one or two but as of yet I haven't met them. The Jist of the film is that Lloyd (Jim Carey) rescues a brief case from an attractive passanger of his limo. He decides to track this woman all the way from Rhode Island to Aspen, Colarado, to return her briefcase. Lloyd's best friend Harry ( Jeff Daniels ) decides it would be a good idea to tag along. What insues I will leave you to find out for yourself, all I can say is you'll have a barrel of laughs. Dumb and Dumber - outragiously blatent comedy. Women seem imune to the comedic power of this film, but men every where will roll about. It is rare that a film that can make you laugh so hard you hurt. If you haven't seen it, SEE IT!...

Advantages: Some very funny scenes
Disadvantages: Dosent seem so good second time round

...Dumb & dumber is one of those comedies which you’ll either love or hate. I personally loved it, the first time round that is! I have now watched it a second time, some parts had me literally crying with laughter, but others that did the first time round, didn’t. Maybe I’ve just grown up now and don’t find the same things funny anymore. It was still a good watch though. The film is set around 2 silly guys who live together, don’t have girlfriends, are hopeless at the jobs they get and basically, scrape their way through life as best they can! One of the jobs that lloyd has (Jim Carrey) is a Limo Driver. He loses this job when he crashes the limo due to watching his passenger leave her suitcase behind at the airport. He gets the suitcase to return it and this is where the epic trip starts out. Basically... Read review
