Continuity: When Lloyd finds Harry's "treasure chest", it's is lying flat against the wall. When the principal and the lunch lady discover it missing, you see is a small dirt outline, as if the chest was pointing out from the wall, instead of larger outline, as if it were flat against the wall.

Quotes:

Harry Dunne: Yeah. I like a woman with some meat on her bones.

THE WORST PREQUEL...

...or how to make a comedy without a laugh?

When I first heard that there's a sequel to Dumb and Dumber I was ecstatic since this was the best comedy in ninenties and certainly one of the best comedies ever. But after seeing opening credits (No Jim & Jeff), I was a little sceptical. Never mind, it still can be good...

Erghh, wrong. The movie was getting worse and worse. The leading characters were shown like a couple of retards (very unlikable, since in original there aren't THAT slow), who were just trying to imitate Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels and failed miserably. Lack of charm, i guess. But the main fault goes to script writer who provides a lot of already seen jokes as the rest of the producers of this crap.

I agree, it would be nearly impossible to beat the original version, since it was full of original black humor, but hey, at least they could try harder. Despite that movie sucked, it has some moments...but since i can't remember any if them, i couldn't rate it higher than

3 out of 10.
