Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd 2003

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: More moronic than the original. Read more

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... has a flat, deadly aura and it's not even gutsy enough to be sexy or potentially offensive. Read more

Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: So excruciatingly awful, the word 'dumb' could sue for slander. Read more

Dave Kehr, New York Times: While Dumb and Dumber possessed a bracing, genuine vulgarity, this new film is more often merely disgusting as it piles up jokes involving various bodily discharges and the unpleasant things that can be done with them. Read more

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: In its own dumber and dumberer way, it's an honest and often goofily amusing film. Read more

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Believe me, you're better off at home, alphabetizing your old comic books, talking to your parents, or watching paint dry. Read more

Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: Director Troy Miller doesn't just lack the comic juice to extend his and co-writer Robert Brener's sketchy ideas into a feature, he's not above selling out his characters for a cheap laugh or two. Read more

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Adults might've felt guilty for liking the first film, but it was hard not to laugh. Adults won't do more than giggle once or twice during the new movie, and they'll walk out feeling dumber than when they walked in. Read more

Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: If you think it's funny, you may just be 'special' too. Read more

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: None of the Farrelly brothers' imitators has ever satisfactorily replicated their notorious comedy recipe for genially crude anarchy. Read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Feels like the longest movie ever made. Read more

Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: You can't say you weren't warned when Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd proves to be a really dumb movie. That's rather the point isn't it? And on the bright side, the movie demonstrates that, occasionally, there is truth in advertising. Read more

John Patterson, L.A. Weekly: At 82 minutes it feels longer than Lawrence of Arabia -- and a lot less funny. Read more

John Anderson, Newsday: The level of humor is, needless to say, idling on level 00 in the parking garage of the mind. Read more

Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger: A dull and dullerer movie likely to make audiences feel numb and numberer. Read more

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: For those who recall the laxative overdose sequence in the original D&D as a comedy classic, there's a gag here about a melted Hershey bar that I thought might make the preview audience soil itself. Bear that in mind. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Usually, Hollywood waits until August to empty its cinematic septic tank into multiplexes. This year, the flood has started early. And no movie could be more aptly compared to raw sewage than this film. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd sounded like a bad idea, and the movie removes all doubt. Read more

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Will leave you numb and numberer. Read more

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Read more

Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Every bit as awkward as its title, 'Dumb And Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd' is missing not only Carrey and Daniels, but also the creative spark and anarchic spirit contributed by brothers Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who wrote and directed the original. Read more

Time Out: Read more

Claudia Puig, USA Today: The movie should have been called The Dumbest, because it no doubt will emerge as this summer's most inane release. Read more

Joe Leydon, Variety: Unfortunately, conspicuous absence of Carrey and Daniels only serves to reinforce new pic's overall resemblance to a down-market, penny-pinched sitcom spin-off (or, worse, direct-to-video follow-up). Read more
