jazz babies posted:I haven't laughed this much at a trailer in ages. Counter-point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj3uHftd5FQ This was also released today. That's how you do a trailer for a November comedy. Also, I'd really like to see the numbers on which movie cost more. For those who want a Dumb and Dumber sequel - watch 30 Minutes or Less. That's what the premise for Dumb and Dumber To should have been.

LividLiquid posted:Exactly. It's like Dumb and Dumber continued as a television show we never saw, and now we're in season eight, where all characters have been Flanderized. No one told you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cTNgXyCqi8 Avril Lavigne posted:The original was grounded in reality, with any surreal stuff restricted to dream sequences. In this trailer that seems to have gone out the window in favor of a world where old women have dusty vaginas. Also it's rated R so the Farrellys can make it as weird and gross as they like, and if you ever see the uncut edition of Dumb and Dumber it becomes obvious that's not such a good idea. I've never seen a movie with the removal of some scenes completely changes the dynmaic of the movie. Every scene just feels "off". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpUgZmAo594 (extended/deleted scenes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm3iwINTF90 (extended scene) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mum5LIqQzAs (deleted storyline) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCVWyMKeJ1w (deleted scene) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i2Y7xiiUUI (deleted/alternate ending) None of these scenes are funny- and don't fit with the final product. Now that the Farrelleys have carte blanche- no one is telling them right from wrong- and they're surrounded by a bunch of yes men. Tightening up really saved Dumb and Dumber- so they had people giving them advice. Rewatching the Dumb and Dumberer trailer- that movie almost understands the characters better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i2Y7xiiUUI CaptainHollywood fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Jun 13, 2014 |

xzoto1 posted:This looks like poo poo. The reason the first movie worked is that Lloyd and Harry were unintentionally funny. We laughed at their everyday oddities. They acted stupid because they WERE stupid. This new film makes it look like they are trying to act stupid rather than actually being stupid... If that makes any sense... You're making me re-evaluate. This movie is essentially this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gg5LOd_Zus

Reading the reviews I kinda want to rewatch Dumb and Dumberer. It seems this is a beat for beat lazy remake like Hangover 2. With literal "copied" jokes and premises. For all it's faults, Dumb and Dumberer never tried to repeat jokes from Dumb and Dumber.

Just saw it. The whole movie is a numbers game. I would say at least 1/3 of the jokes/premises in the movie are callbacks to jokes/plots from the first film. 80% of the time it comes off as lames. About 1/2 the time there are new jokes and for me these landed about 3/7ths of the time. I wouldn't say it was "bad", just merely ok. The big problem was that it essentially used the meaness of the characters from their deleted scenes in the first one. The movie crossed the wacky/silly line one too many times- in fact it kind of felt like an episode of Family Guy in some sense. I was surprised that the "aged" aspect never affected me as much as I was expecting. The simple fact that it was literally the same movie did. I think a solid re-write by making it less like the original would have made it better.

xzoto1 posted:Nope, you're right. The first movie we laughed at them because they were legitimately/unintentionally stupid. This movie has them acting stupid for the sake of it. The problem is that the original movie the characters were the written the exact same way -- but this was changed due to the deleted scenes/editing. Look at the alternate (extended) ending to the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GlCgxm2dpo I see it like the Farrelleys wrote the movie the same way - but did not edit it the same way. They were given much more leeway to do what they wanted.
