Dumb and Dumber To

Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) are back, 20 years older and as stupid as ever—though alas, not quite as funny. Yes, of course it's crass and tasteless, even disgusting—but what do you expect from Bobby and Peter Farrelly, Masterpiece Theatre? Some of the jokes land—law of averages, you know—but it's a bit depressing to think that the Brothers F. had to enlist the help of Sean Anders, Mike Cerrone, John Morris and Bennett Yellin to write the kind of crude, any-raunchy-thing-for-a-laugh script that they used to pump out all by themselves. It's also just a tad dispiriting to see how … ahem … ungracefully some of the cast members have aged. Naming no names on that score, of course, but while we're on the subject, the cast includes Rob Riggle, Laurie Holden, Rachel Melvin and Steve Tom.
