8/10
Decent effort
23 December 2014
Dumb and Dumber To reunites Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne. This results in a movie with a simple plot and for the most part, funny gags.

The main plot is about Harry searching for his daughter in the hope that she donates her kidney so that he can live. There is also a secondary plot revolving around a billion dollar invention. Both of these are good enough stories and have good resolutions.

The jokes in the movie are a bit hit and miss. For me this was emphasised at the end of the movie with a (in my opinion) really funny joke followed by one which was just bad and made worse by it being obvious the moment it was set up. For me, this happened throughout the movie (though not as polarising). The reason why I still enjoyed the movie is because, when the jokes hit, it really hits.

I would still say that this movie is a good time even with inconsistent jokes since some of the jokes are hilarious, the movie has a good ending, the cast do a good job and it was great watching Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels again.
