  • Before they were dumb, they were dumberer. That's right, those lovable idiots Harry and Lloyd (played by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber), actually have a past, retold in this equally numb-skulled prequel. Set in 1986, the comedy tells of how a young Lloyd (Eric Christian Olsen) and his buddy Harry (Derek Richardson) attempted to move beyond their ''special needs'' curriculum into regular high school life.

This wacky buddy road film... has a brilliant glow of intelligence behind the stupidness. It's easily the funniest movie of the year. Read full review

A flat-out celebration of stupidity, bodily functions and pratfalls. Yet the wholeheartedness of this descent into crude and rude humor is so good-natured and precise that it's hard not to partake in the guilty pleasures of the exercise. Read full review

There are limits to how much comic irony can be wrung out of the sight of two grown men acting like complete cretins. Read full review

An atrocious movie. An offensively stupid movie. A movie so witless and so crammed with bathroom humour that you will be deeply thankful for the darkness that envelops you - it lets you hide the fact (disturbing as it is) that you do laugh at the antics of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, in spite of yourself.
