Hi,

I came around this new trailer for the upcoming summer flick. It looks alright. We'll see how they do against the original.

Drives suv off mulholland, still alive, "That's not a new trailer btw, it's the old, first teaser that doesn't have any footage." Then shoots self.

Lenny, there is the teaser and the full trailer on the site. The full trailer is in windows media and the teaser was quicktime.

Seeing how Dumb & Dumber is my all time favorite movie, I was disappointed with the footage. It looks mildly entertaining and I think they did Harry and Lloyd all wrong. They made them caricatures of them, and over the top ones at that. I think they are trying too hard to be funny rather than just being funny.

Only redeeming quality of the trailer was the LOTR music and font.

Well say/think what you will of this prequel, but you have to admit that the guy playing Lloyd Christmas really nailed the part. He looks/acts amazingly like Jim Carrey did. Well done!

I am not convinced that the show itself will be any good, especially with Eugene Levy in it. (He can be okay, but generally I don't care for shows with him in it).

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Jason, you're kidding...right?

No sane human being would admit Dumb and Dumber was his favorite movie, would he??????

Jason Harbaugh · 03-31-2003, 09:03 PM

Well I may not be sane, but that isn't why Dumb & Dumber is my favorite movie.

or should that be :b

Being that Jim Carrey is no where near this film, it has been upgraded to "might rent" status.

I couldn't get more than 15 minutes into the original without turning it off.

This looks just about as bad as it could be. I've taken a lot of flak because of my admiration of Dumb and Dumber. I think its the shining jewel in the "dumb comedy" genre with excellent comic timing and great commitment from its stars.

This, on the other hand, looks like the worst of the dumb comedy genre took over the reigns. From what I saw, they even brought in teen comedy in this to make it worse.

I was planning on seeing this just out of the hope that it could keep some of the brilliance of the first, but now I see little hope.

Jason, I got your back. Dumb and Dumber is my all-time favorite movie, too. I still remember the first time I watched it in the theater ... I was crying most of the movie b/c I was laughing so hard. I ended up having to go back and watch it again because I missed at least a third of the dialogue because I was laughing so hard.

I gotta be honest, though. This se-, err ... prequel doesn't look like it will hold up to the original. It almost looks like they're combining Dumb and Dumber with Road Trip and American Pie. The original had the Farrelly brothers, Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Lauren Holly (mmm)... and now we've got a bunch of no-names (save Eugene Levy) ... it doesn't look good.

I can not tell you how dissapointed I was to hear that Carrey and Daniels were not back for this movie. After seeing this trailer I have no desire to see it at all. Dumb & Dumber is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Even after seeing it as many time as I have, I still laugh hysterically. It looks like the new one will be a truley horrible flick.

Aaron Garman · 04-01-2003, 03:35 PM

This film looks just like a total disaster. Of course, it will probably make millions from all those too senseless to know any better. Do not ruin a masterpiece by making this ridiculous bantha poo doo.
