You are remembering the original wrong if you think this was different


Exactly the same directors and actors. Exactly the same kind of comedy. You changed, not them. The original was great and so was this one. I was a teenager when the first one came out and am in my 30s now. They're basically the same movie with the same people with the same comedy.

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'...
...That's god damn right.

It has grown on me and I have come to think that they have truly pulled off a great worthy sequel and I absolutely commend the energy and effort they invested into bringing it to life but in the end the way it was released it was edited very badly. I actually took the liberty of scrutinizing it scene by scene and restructuring it into a most proper assemblage in line with the editing job of the theatrical original. If you would like to see it I would be happy to email it to you :)

Dumb and Dumber To is like the Unrated Cut of Dumb and Dumber, which are both very different to the theatrical cut of Dumb and Dumber.

reply

You're absolutely right, from the start I thought it felt like a love letter to the unrated version of the original.

There was a little more gross humor in this one than the first, especially the mental institute flashbacks, and yeah I'm sure it might take some seeing it a couple times before they get used to it and learn to like it, but I'm sure the first one probably took a little getting used to as well, it's a fine sequel.

No. It didn't, at all. It was immediately a runaway success, because it was THAT funny.

Correct.

They aren't even remotely the same.

No, we didn't change. The characters did. They're now racist, intentionally assholes, dumber than they were in the original, and Harry also had sex with a girl and didn't know he was the father.
