    It says in the ads that some patrons may find part of the film offensive.

    What is in the film that is offensive?

    some people may have considered the fact that when ching-chong(ffs) spoke she basically said ching chong ching chong, that and it was possibly the worst film i have ever seen in my entire life.

    The 'admission price : laughs' ratio perhaps?

    the worst thing they did was the advertising for this film they never said who starred in it leading ppl to believe including me that jim carey and jeff daniels were the stars.


    once i heard they weren't i became uninterested and didn't want to see the film


    i think many other will agree

    The fact jim carey isn't in actually makes me want to see it more... not much more though, I'd still rather be stompeeded by a hoard of raging giant talking kababs that cronically sing michael bolton tracks.

    I suppose they couldn't run with the tagline: "Starring two twats you've never heard of!"

    True in a way but lets be honest... it in no way looks like either of them... so unless you have very bad eyesight there is no way you can think either of them were in this movie from the posters!!! I mean FFS they are like 20ft high in some places...

    I did not see the film.. someone watched it here in work yesterday, i looked at bits of it.. he had to struggle to finish the movie it was so bad. The only bit he thought was funny was the bit in the bathroom with all the shít but even that was similar to the first movie.

    So there I am..surfing the away last night and what should I see but...

    Dumb.And.Dumberer.When.Harry.Met.Lloyd.SCREENER-VideoCD


    ...and suddenly I'm whisked back to 1994. 2nd year in Carlow RTC. Going out with Tracey. Great summer.


    I think of all the excellent movies that came out that year, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and of course Dumb And Dumber. I had never heard of the Farrelly Brothers at the time and wasn't a huge fan of Jim Carrey. He had done "The Mask" and "Ace Ventura", but didn't think he was funny.


    Then D&D came along and I can still remember laughing my head off in the cinema when 'Harry' feels the call of nature while sitting on the back on the moped/moterbike



    But for all those thinking that this will be the same then get ready to be disappointed.


    Actually for those that thought that this release couldn't be as good as the first movie but are sure that it'll generate some laughs get ready to be disappointed too.


    Firstly it's directed by Troy Miller, a director famous for such movies as....well not a lot really. And alas it doesn't star Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, but instead Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson actors I'm sure like me you've probable never heard of (and never will again with any luck!) They do a good job at making themselves look like the original actors but it just isn't good enough to make the movie.


    The story is of how they first met in 1986 and become local heros be spoiling the corrupt principle's plans of wealth. What the director has done is just take all the orignal jokes from the first movie, dust them off and present them again almost expecting us to laugh at it. The movie has NO FUNNY MOMENTS ! Honestly it isn't even dumb fun where a film is so silly you'll laugh at it anyhow. Even the out-takes at the end of the movie are crap (something most people laugh at).

    It's just a soulless pile of junk of a movie. You don't feel anything for the characters and after watching wish you could have spent the 90mins doing something funnier in your life like cleaning out from behind the fridge maybe!


    Just another Hollywood produced pile of **** where someone was out to make a quick buck.

    Please don't pay to see this.
