I bet even William Goldman doesn't like them anymore.

I haven't trusted the Farrelly bros in quite some time.

Maybe since Me, myself, and Irene.

That was another lifetime ago.

Plus...that title for the potential sequel is fucking stupid, and not in a good way.

Re: a true Dumb and Dumber sequel in the works w Farrelly's, Carrey & Daniels on boar

Yea. Such an epic beginning. Their movies are always cheerful and energetic. But they haven't been epic-ly funny, the way their first movies were.

FIRST MOVIES
1994 Dumb and Dumber
1996 Kingpin
1998 There's Something About Mary
2000 Me, Myself & Irene

SINCE
2001 Osmosis Jones
2001 Shallow Hal
2003 Stuck on You
2005 Fever Pitch
2005 The Ringer
2007 The Heartbreak Kid
2011 Hall Pass
2012 The Three Stooges

I still don't get why anyone would pass on this production. Budget it low. Maybe they kept the budget low and asked for too much back end profit. Or maybe the technology just isn't there yet to make a Dumb and Dumber sequel yet.

That is exactly how I feel about their resume.

13 years since they made a good film...maybe that is why Warner balked on the sequel.

Re: a true Dumb and Dumber sequel in the works w Farrelly's, Carrey & Daniels on boar

When asked by Jimmy Fallon on Monday's Late Night whether a sequel was in the works, Daniels offered a Harry-esque thumbs up.

The sequel has had numerous reported starts and stops, which may have led Daniels to say, "I'll believe it's happening when I'm actually there staring at Jim Carrey, but it looks like we're starting in September."

The movie's set to be released next year, to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the first Dumb & Dumber.

They'll never top the pooping scene of the original.

I'm sure they'll try, unfortunately. The scene is classic even though I feel a bit queasy after watching it.

They're not going to top anything from he first one. The sequel has too much potential which will be wasted given where the Farrely's have fallen over the past decade.

I'm hoping it will be entertaining but I'll have my expectations in check when this hits theaters.

Re: a true Dumb and Dumber sequel in the works w Farrelly's, Carrey & Daniels on boar

EXCLUSIVE: The Walking Dead cast member Laurie Holden has landed a co-starring role in Dumb And Dumber To, starring alongside Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in the Peter and Bobby Farrelly-directed sequel that is being financed by Red Granite. Holden will play Adele Pichlow, the well to do wife of a doctor who is up to no good and who plans to use Harry and Lloyd to cover her tracks. Holden played Andrea since the start of AMC’s The Walking Dead. She previously appeared opposite Carrey in Frank Darabont’s The Majestic. She’s repped by APA and Alan Wertheimer.

Those Walking Dead spoilers seemed highly unnecessary.

Re: Dumb And Dumber To (2014, Farrelly Siblings) S: Carrey, Daniels

It COULD be good, but I really think the time for this kind of movie has passed. At least with these same characters. And if you look at Dumb And Dumberer as a Dumb And Dumber prequel, of course it's going to suck. The first movie is a classic. But if you just look at it as a movie in it's own right, it's pretty funny.

I'm not sure I'll like this, partly because of how the Farrelly brothers' movies have gone downhill, but also partly because my sense of humor has changed drastically since 1994. I hope it's good.

Dumb and dumber still holds up, though. Still one of the funniest movies, IMHO.

I completely agree, but I still think that some amount of nostalgia plays into it. I just hope they don't try to out-gross the first movie and lose some of the first movie's heart.

Their first three movies were almost genius level comedy. Three of the funniest movies I have ever seen, after that everything was in my opinion terrible. Not even worth a rental. They are the M. Night Shayamalan of comedy (although he only made 2 and 3/4 of watchable film).
