Good name. Totally fits.

Dumb And Dumber To — 1.5/5

I was just telling someone how I thought this would be an infinitely repeatable franchise and I'm surprised they hadn't done a true sequel, only for them to tell me a sequel had been had, and it made $170M, and I never knew, and it also sucks. Everything's the same but different somehow. Was Lloyd always so mean-spirited? Did the first one look so cheap? Jeff Daniels' goofy face still works, and there's a decent handful of jokes within the Family Guy machine gun cadence of jokes that work here. But way too many that don't, and so many of those as to make me doubt how good the original was. So, more harmful than not.
