“The evolution of dumb…”

Copyrighted, New Line Cinema

Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Set in 1986 when mentally challenged best friends Harry (Richardson) and Lloyd (Olsen) were teenagers, this is the madcap comic tale of their attempt to get out of the “special needs” department and into regular high school life.”

Prequel: “Dumb & Dumber” (1994) / Sequel: “Dumb and Dumber To” (2014)

Positive— My Girlfriend at the time and I both agreed that Bob Saget was one of the funniest things in this movie, his performance was incredible, far better than anything he did on “Full House”.
My Ratings: Moral rating: Average / Moviemaking quality: 3½

Comments from young people
Neutral—I liked this movie a lot, but I have to admit that some of the humor was extremely crude at times… Although this movie was funny and entertaining, I’d say you could definitely wait until it comes out on video to see it. Also, the original was way better.
My Ratings: [Very Offensive / 3]

Dave Kehr, New York Times

Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune
…heavy on the stupid, light on the funny.
Margaret A. McGurk, Cincinnati Enquirer
…without doubt the worst movie I’ve seen in a long time!
David Levine, FilmCritic.com
…unfunny, boring, torturous, and unwatchable.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd sounded like a bad idea, and the movie removes all doubt.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicles
…Heavy disrespectful and bad attitude / Heavy sex and nudity …filled with all sorts of crude and idiotic humor
