The ‘Dumb and Dumber’ Movie is the New ‘Arrested Development’ Movie

by | September 26th, 2012

Now that the Arrested Development reunion is finally underway after six years of the cast and crew teasing us with a lotta “it’s happening” and “it might not be happening,” comedy fans need a new sequel to get their hopes up over, and the Farrelly Brothers have stepped up to the plate. Ever since Dumb and Dumber To (sic) was announced last February, there’s been a lot of flip-flopping about whether it’s actually gonna happen or not. Jim Carrey left the project in June, but is apparently now back onboard. The Farrelly Brothers took to Twitter yesterday evening to announce that they are almost done with [...]

On 'Dumb & Dumber 2', Jeff Daniels Says: "IT'S HAPPENING!"

by | July 19th, 2012

Seriously, stop toying with us! Dear Mr. and Mr. Warner, throw us a bone and we will put said bone in the mouth of a van that looks like a dog. Anyway, you heard Jimmy, #DumbAndDumberRises, let's start tweeting, nerds. Later in the show, Jimmy and Jeff had a dramatic turning contest, as you can see below, maybe we should just have Jeff Daniels turn to the camera and do a monologue about why we need a Dumb & Dumber sequel.

Dumb And Dumber…est Is On The Way From The Farrelly Brothers

by | October 27th, 2011

Just when I thought they couldn't possibly be any dumber, they go and do something like this… and totally redeem themselves! After they wrap up The Three Stooges, the Farrelly brothers are apparently going ahead with the Dumb And Dumber sequel they've been dreaming about since 1994, complete with original morons Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Seeing as how Jim Carrey has talked about the sequel before to the press, and Jeff Daniels…is around, the odds of this actually getting made are pretty good. In the meantime, I will throw down for the series' prequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd. It wasn't all that bad! [...]

The Farrelly Brothers Are Planning a True Sequel to Dumb and Dumber

by | February 28th, 2011

Sure, Dumb and Dumberer happened for some reason, but a real-deal sequel to the 1994 classic Dumb and Dumber is currently in the works. It would be again written/directed by the Farrelly Brothers and star Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. You know, I'd be on board with this. Seeing these two characters twenty years older and probably not much wiser has the potential to be awesome. The again, this could just be Bobby Farrelly talking about something that has no chance of ever becoming a reality, so we'll see. [Dumb and Dumber] has run a bunch of times on TV in the states, and kids will come up [...]

Bobby Farrelly Reveals Plot of the 'Dumb & Dumber' Sequel

by | August 21st, 2012

In an interview with Digital Spy, Bobby Farrelly spoke about the Dumb & Dumber sequel, which has been in flux for a while now. The script is written and they're hoping to shoot in the spring. He continued to open up about the plot:

"I can tell you that there is no growth out of either one of them and it's 20 years later. What is funny about the original is that they're grown men who are complete losers… but now these guys are in regular life and they're still basically children at heart…The story revolves around the fact that one of them may have sired a [...]

Jeff Daniels Confirms the 'Dumb and Dumber' Sequel Bummer

by | June 21st, 2012

"It's on the internet. We're not doing it." You know what is really dumb? The fact that this movie isn't happening. Hey studios, stop being dumb. I bet the people running the studios totally would trade a van for a moped and confuse Austria for Australia and always wear matching pastel ruffled tuxedos. They are sooooo dumb.

The Lost Roles of Dumb & Dumber

by | June 23rd, 2011

Jim Carrey recently mentioned to the press that a Dumb & Dumber sequel is in development, presumably with writer/directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly and Carrey’s co-star Jeff Daniels willing to return. Given the way the Farrellys' Hall Pass and Carrey's Mr. Popper's Penguins turned out, it's no surprise all parties are looking to revisit these classic characters. One of the big reasons Dumb & Dumber is an effective comedy (and one that still holds up) is that Daniels and Carrey are so perfectly cast as Harry and Lloyd, and the chemistry between them is incredible. Believe it or not, these two weren't the original choices for the title [...]

Breaking News on CNN: Jeff Daniels Has Diarrhea

by | December 10th, 2010

Here's something you generally don't expect to see on CNN following a piece about protests in Britain and the battle over taxes in Congress: the diarrhea scene from Dumb and Dumber. But hey, I guess these are the sorts of things the 24-hour news networks need to resort to in order to entice viewers in this internet age. Or maybe it was just some incomprehensible fuckup. Either way!

Jeff Daniels Explains What the Dumb 'Dumb and Dumber' Hold Up Is All About

by | August 6th, 2012

Welcome to the seemingly bi-weekly column: "Hey Jeff Daniels, What's Up with the Dumb and Dumber Sequel?" In this installment Jeff Daniels expounds upon what Jim Carrey's problem was and what the hold up is:

 “I understood why, because this has been a year and a half of a whole bunch of are we, aren’t we, what’s going on, yeah the script’s funny, no it’s not, now we have to have notes. So I think Jim just got frustrated and I completely got it. I was frustrated too. We thought it was in pretty good shape. The studio and others wanted some more work done. The Farrellys wanted [...]

'Dumb & Dumber' Sequel, Goodbye?

by | June 20th, 2012

Two months ago, we reported that all the original players were onboard and excited for a proper Dumb & Dumber sequel and we were all properly onboard and excited. Well, Jim Carrey told ET (the TV show, not the alien) that he's off the project because of  his frustrations with New Line and Warner Brothers. He explained, "I would have thought Dumb and Dumber To was a no-brainer, after all it's implied in the title." First off, zing! Second off, drats! Just the title Dumb and Dumber To is pretty funny. So it goes. Let's pour out some Turbo Lax for the fallen sequel.

Jim Carrey Gets Everyone's Hopes Up for a Dumb & Dumberer Sequel

by | June 6th, 2011

I will fight to the death to defend 2003's Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, so it looks like I should Vaseline up my face now for the rumored Dumb & Dumber sequel. "We're talking about maybe returning to some old characters that everyone has been asking about," Jim Carrey said in an interview about his future cinematic plans, "…There's Bruce Almighty and we're talking about maybe another Dumb and Dumber." Just when Carrey makes Mr. Popper's Penguins, he goes and does something like this…and totally redeems himself!

The Finally Screenings: I Just Saw Dumb and Dumber For the First Time

by | October 13th, 2010

In The Finally Screenings, Alden Ford is watching comedy classics that, because he grew up in a cave in Alaska, he’s never seen before. These are his takes on movies everyone else has seen before.

After a few weeks of reviewing films which are for one reason or another considered seminal or groundbreaking, I thought it would be nice to take a break of sorts and just watch a comedy I’ve never seen. So this week I watched Dumb and Dumber. It was the feature writing and directing debut for the Farrelly Brothers, which is of note, but more than anything it’s simply a movie I finally got [...]
