Dumb and Dumber To

For dumb movies, they have gotten smarter since Dumb & Dumber came out in 1995.  The Farrelly Brothers are mainstream comic directors and have the resume to show.  And with the rise of the dumb comic character (Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianikis) the clueless duo is not as dumb as we thought.

Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carrey) meet 20 years later.  Lloyd has been in a mental institution but makes a swift recovery to show that is was just a joke on Harry.  They find out that Harry has a daughter and seek to meet up with her, leading to yet another road trip, this time to El Paso for a KEN conference.  Nice touch.

On the way to the Mexican border, they have some new adventures.  It's a Farrelly project thorough and thorough, reminiscent of There's Something About Mary with a touch of the mystery of the Hangover.  Decent company to be included in - As good as the original, all these years later.
