In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

There's a number of jokes that are funny in this movie and I don't know why people criticize it. I mean like what the heck did you expect a masterpiece? For what it was the film is at least loyal to the characters who are both stupid and you don't know who's stupider. This is way better than that terrible sequel made last year, where all the jokes were based on how gross it could be. I never liked the idea of prequels but this film I think did it fine. The only thing I think would of been a wiser idea is had Harry take Lloyd's role of being the one to tell him what to do. I mean Harry is a leader in the original but here he is more of like a sidekick. I really liked the scene, "There's Sh.t everywhere!" The only things I wish they changed were Harry and Lloyd's roles and also maybe add a funnier climax but it's overall alright! I can't believe people hate this but the sequel made last year is rated higher! I think these rating should be switched! I give it a 6.5 out of 10.

The story of when Harry Dunne met Lloyd Christmas and they must help foil a scam as the headteacher of their school has set up a plan with their lunch lady to step up a special needs class so they can get a cheque and flee of to a better life. Harry, Lloyd and some other classmates are thrown into the mix of those who are classed as "special-needed".This film starred: Eric Christian Olsen, Derek Richardson & Eugene Levy.DUMB AND DUMBERER:WHEN HARRY MET LLOYD was released in 2003. This is a disappointing movie although both of the main characters could almost pas as Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. However there were only a couple of laughs in this film so I don't really recommend it but this probably deserves higher than a 3.4 or whatever it has on this site.***/***** Could be worse.

Considering this is a prequel to one of the most popular cult classics of the 90s, something like this is going to get back-lashed.First off, to all the critics, please stop calling this film a piece of crap. It may look like crap, but seriously people, I think Dumb And Dumberer is a great idea.Didn't see this in the theater, but saw the trailer plenty of times to get me interested in the idea. The trailer alone was really funny, and reminded me that every once in a long while, there has to be a movie that has to be this ridiculous to laugh at. With that said, I honestly think that the sequel coming out later this year will hopefully resonate well with the fans.Slap yourself a few times over, then sit down and see what you think of this movie when you put it in next, or when it shows up on TV.The female lead will be at the Seattle Comic-Con this year, (2014) and will hopefully meet her.It may not live up to the original, but they used plenty of original material to give you an idea of how dumb Harry and Lloyd really are.(Loved the idea of Harry's invisible captain friend! Seeing the car hit that wooden wagon was pretty priceless!!)

This movie flat out sucks. There's no other, smart guy way to put it. Its horrible. Its the worst prequel I've ever seen, the jokes are pure, raw slapstick in it's lowest possible form, and the two leads may look like Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, but there's no way in hell they could pull it off like they did in 1994. Also, if you're going to make a prequel, set in 1986, use stuff in 1986. We see new dollar bills and the most fatal flaw is the song "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice. The song came out in 1990 and this is set in 1986. Sense? Nada. This movie was clearly rushed, not thought over properly, and serves no purpose.Lets begin with the cover for the DVD. If you closely at Lloyds tooth it is clear that the left corner is just drawn with Sharpie marker or some dry erase marker to look as if it was missing. Nothing says a movie is worse than when the cover doesn't even look believable. A poor entrance to a poor movie. Fits perfectly.Before Harry and Lloyd where the best of dumb buddies, they were in high school struggling to make the grade. Now we get to the moment they first met by bumping heads. Harry was homeschooled and is now attending regular school. Upon meeting Lloyd whom gives him a half assed tour of the school, they now become the best of friends and are inseparable. After a class opens called "The Special Needs" class, Harry and Lloyd are asked to get people to attend. A good girl Jessica finds out why the lunch lady would be teaching a class and she soon discovers that the principal and the teacher for the fake Specials class are stealing money from the school and it's now up to Harry, Lloyd, and Jessica to stop them.Since the movie is supposed to be focused on the stupid characters of Harry and Lloyd, I shouldn't say this, but need to. It gets incredibly aggravating because the stupidity of the characters makes the movie move in a slow pace and even though its a mere 86 minutes it feels way longer. Harry and Lloyd are portrayed as stupid beyond belief. There's no way anyone in the world could be this stupid and not be mentally challenged. Its an insult.I too find it absolutely hilarious that the cameo appearance by Bob Saget is funnier than the two leads in the movie. Bob Saget's cameo is nowhere near as funny to earn this movie an extra star, but its damn sure funny to earn it probably the most memorable thing about this movie. Julia Duffy doesn't do much in the movie, but I remember her as Mrs. Hayfer in Drake & Josh. Those will be the only two people who I cite as a "decent job done" in this movie. Eugene Levy is awful in this movie and so are the actors who portray Harry and Lloyd. Luis Guzmán also does a poor job in this as well.I thought I'd approach this film with an open mind and have a decent attitude and relate it to something me and my friend do. I like a lot of stupid movies like Bio-Dome, but this just completely blew my mind. From the DVD menu gags to the "Dont press this button" joke on there as well I knew this movie was going to be no more than two stars if they found burping and farting to be the most hilarious joke on the planet. Sure enough I was right. Worst prequel to any movie and awful movie all together.Starring: Eric Christian Olsen, Derek Richardson, Rachel Nichols, Bob Saget, Luis Guzmán, Eugene Levy, and Mimi Rogers.
