The original is one of my favorite comedies. I normally don't like "dumb" humor but there is so many bits that still make me laugh. I had high hopes but have not heard good things.

Same here. This one somewhat gets the job done purely as an exercise in nostalgia, but as a movie, it's pretty terrible. The dumbness is really dialed up now, and not in a good way.

I don't think I'm going to watch it. Dumb and dumber is one of my all time favorite movies, so I'd rather not taint that with a crappy sequel.

A co-worker has advised me not to bother with the sequel.

We live in a day and age when people think being smart is important, there's just no room for a movie like Dumb & Dumber To in the current economy. I, for one, plan to laugh like a maniac, and then I will race back home, jump on my computer, and insist that Dumb & Dumber To was easily better than Godzilla. You just watch me.

We'll agree to disagree on this one.
I'm sure I'll see Dumb & Dumber To eventually though, just not in the theater.

I would have laughed like a maniac if it were funny.

I'm a HUGE fan of Dumb and Dumber. But it makes me really sad that we live in a world where folks look forward to a sequel to Dumb and Dumber. How can the expectations for this film be anything other than fart noise?

I don't see any reason to be cynical.

The great tragedy of the Dumb and Dumber sequel is that the direct-to-video semi-sequel stole the best possible name for a Dumb and Dumber sequel: "Dumb and Dumberer."

The Evil Dead remake. What a humorless drag. So glad Starz greenlit the Ash vs. The Evil Dead series. Bruce is getting up there, but I think he's still got it.

I think a geriatric Ash has the potential to be comedy gold. Campbell will always have it.

Watched the new Hercules. Flawed, but enjoyable. Some awkward editing in the first 25 minutes, but it recovered. Solid action sequences and it was maybe the hardest PG-13 I've ever seen - way more blood than I was expecting.
