Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
Dumb at first sight.
Go back to school with everybody's favorite dimwits in this hilarious prequel to the hit comedy that rocketed Jim Carrey to superstardom.
It's a historic meeting of the mindless when Harry and Lloyd (Derek Richardson and Eric Christian Olsen) bump heads for the first time in high school. But when the school's principal (Eugene Levy) and head lunch-lady (Cheri Oteri) hatch a scheme to cheat the school out of $100,000, it's up to the moronic duo to come to the rescue.
Will Harry and Lloyd save the day - or destroy it? Can Harry win the heart of the beautiful teen reporter? Will Lloyd make out with Harry's mom? To find out all the stupid answers, you'll have to watch the movie.

Don't watch this movie. I was tricked into watching it, and at the theatre no less. It does not have the same actors or writers as the original movie. The jokes are unfunny and this is one of the most tedious bad movies I've ever sat through. There is nothing in this that redeems it in the slightest, there is a scene with Bob Sagget that made me half smile though.Dumberest - SPSullivan
The original "Dumb & Dumber" was the progenitor of the legion of gross-out movies which followed in its wake during the past decade. And while its memory has perhaps been tainted by the inferior quality of many of those later efforts, it remains an unlikely classic. I'll freely admit that scenes like the one in which Harry and Lloyd are accosted by a state trooper ("Pull over!" "No, it's a cardigan!") still make me chuckle. Its inevitable if long-delayed sequel, "Dumb And Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd", however, features neither the original cast nor writers/directors the Farrelly brothers. And, unfortunately, it also boasts little of the mad inventiveness which made "Dumb & Dumber" such a hit. What "Dumberer" doesn't realise is that stupid isn't funny. Over-the-top, ridiculously exaggerated stupidity -- now that's funny. So while the new film sometimes wanders into this territory (a scene involving a melted chocolate bar and Bob Saget comes to mind), for the most part the jokes are obvious and mundane. "Dumber" astonished us with Harry and Lloyd's antics; "Dumberer" just bores us. To their credit, Richardson and especially Olsen are pitch-perfect in their impressions of the main characters, but they are given little material to work with. Similarly, Levy is utterly wasted on cliched, unfunny role. This is a movie which lives down to its title.Meh - Jeebs
The first movie was fantastic, and when I heard about this I was excited. Then I watched it.
Don't get me wrong, they play perfect characters in sych with the first movie, sometimes the acting is a little overdone, but they were ok in my opinion.
What I found wrong with this prequel is that the plot is just absurd. This probably would have been a successful movie if they went a different route with the plot. Too much of a "feel good, over done plot, saved by the bell" kids movie.
