The return of Dumb and Dumber

— Posted by The "Superior" Anthony

Today brings news that the Farrelly brothers are coming up with ideas for a proper sequel to Dumb and Dumber with the proper people involved, including Jim Carrey.

[Dumb and Dumber] has run a bunch of times on TV in the states, and kids will come up and they’ll be able to quote lines from that – lines that I’ve long forgotten. If we could get those two guys back together, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels that might be a worthwhile sequel – and that ball is in motion. We’re starting to think about what those two dimwits would be doing twenty-years later in life, and hopefully we’ll be able to come up with something worthy of a sequel.

Dumb and Dumber was one of the more successful comedies during the 90’s and helped cement actor Jim Carrey’s career as a star when he first branched out into films. Many had hoped that he would return for a sequel as quickly as he did for the Ace Ventura franchise, but that idea never materialized and instead we were treated to a pretty poorly regarded sequel that failed to capture the interest from the first, mainly as a result of the lack of input from the creators of the original film and its star.

Dumb and Dumber was one of those movies that I adored as a kid and would look forward to checking the TV guide for it’s next rerun. I love Carrey in comedy and would be thrilled to see him return for this in order to show us what Harry and Lloyd are up to 20 yrs later.

    I would love to see a sequel to Dumb and Dumber. It was actually really hilarious. It was so stupid and over the top that you couldn’t help but roll on the floor laughing. I can’t look at Jeff Daniels without thinking about that bathroom scene he did. It took a lot of nerve for him to film that. Jim Carrey should stick with comedies, that is where his genious is and I think another Dumb and Dumber would be a huge hit for him.

    I’m all for it, the “Sequel” that came out was actually a prequel of sorts.

    great lines from the first?

    “Kick his ass Seabass!”

    “What time should I pick you up?”
    “Quarter to 8?”
    “Nah how bout at 7:45?”
