Ok. I just watched Dumb and Dumberer, for a lack of better things to do. The only real reason to pop this DVD into your player is in this order...
1/ watch movie
2/ watch extra's with director/producer/ production crew.
It is an absolute riot to watch and hear Troy Miller(dir) and crew talk about all the 'subtelty,' 'nuance,' and all the things you might hear from an adept film-maker talk about his/her craft. But applied to a completely inept display of humorless made-for-tv antics.
They were constantly saying ...'we needed to find actors who could capture the 'essence' of these two characters without 'impersonating' Jim Carey or Jeff Daniels. Which, in the end, was all that was needed, and was really all we saw. The entire premise of the 'film' ( using that term loosly ) was fine. It was just a case of, do you think you can actually match, or even come close to the level of one of the best 'stupid' comedies of the latter half of the 20th century? Well, i guess they made some money.
Directors Credits They really wanted this one to work didn't they?!?!
Ok, the only redeaming quality on the dvd was a deleted 'musical number' with actor Luis Guzmán, Actually, I laughed at more in the deleted scenes than ANYTHING in the actual movie.
Hmmm... -1 out of 10 stars.
