Dumb and Dumber to. *
I’ve heard it said that sequels are never as good as the original and in the case of “Dumb and Dumber to”, this is certainly true. After a wait of over 20 years, what did we get….well basically a rehash of the first film but this time with aged “heroes” who really, despite being “dumb” should know better.
Yes, there were some good laughs, some titters and some “they didn’t just do that did they” moments, but overall, the film was just juvenile and stupid….. Now all those years ago, I would have loved that but now days, it just didn’t cut the mustard.
I don’t think I was the only one disappointed by the film….my considerably better half doesn’t think she laughed more than once, while the cinema, with a house of about 40, was quite quiet….apart from the idiots at the back who could not eat without making an epic amount of noise!
Given that this follow up didn’t work IMHO, I now fear for any follow up which might be made of the most excellent Bill and Ted films. I would say that unless the script is first rate, DON’T BOTHER…. I would rather have my memories intact than one ruined by a cash making exercise.
*For my own "dumb" moment... I managed to walk into a wall in the cinema (well it was dark) and I think I may have broken my little finger....ouch..... and then when we got home, I discovered I had managed to lock ourselves off of the drive.
