It's been 20 years and Harry Dunn has found something out - he has a daughter!

Goofs
One of the inventors produces a machine which can put people's thoughts and memories on to a screen. After Harry's visualisation, he complains that the bed cover in his memory was orange, not the colour shown on the screen. However, Harry had his eyes shut, and was facing the wrong way to see the screen. See more »
Picture this: It's 20 years ago and you are at a party with stale pizza and warm beer. You plan on leaving early, then the life of the party shows up and makes it the most memorable party you ever went to.
20 years later, you plan a reunion and bring better pizza, a cooler filled with beer and invite everyone to the same place again. The same jokes are told and everyone leaves early.
That is what Dumb and Dumber is. I loved the first one so much that I am still willing to be happy with the reunion for old time sake.
It seems like all the variables were in place, and everyone just kept waiting for magic to happen. It seems like it was filmed well enough, and everyone thought they would fix it in post. Then in the edit room, everyone figured, "Well they shot it how they want it." and left it long and loose. It was very paint by numbers, and everyone followed the script. In a movie where the script was just there simply as a framework to be expanded upon. The timing is off and there is no punch.
This may be what happens when modern studio execs watch too many dailies and start influencing the editing process too much, and take the funny away from the people they paid to be funny. Next time, light the fire cracker and walk away. Let the experts be experts.
