The good and the bad of Dumb & Dumber to. I saw the movie with Ben and Naomi last evening at Indro. The production techniques were good for me because I am not a fan of digital efx. and there were very few of those, or they were so well done I did not think, Oh! more unrealistic nonsense. The dumb story line was fittingly dumb but the middle third of the movie seemed to go flat with gags that did nothing for the story line and were not really very funny... esp., since both dumbos seemed to be acting dumb rather than being dumb. But I liked the fact that such a movie could be made with a few characters who speak lines which are assembled by simple cuts. There was nothing complicated about the editing approach; you could make this movie at home. Maybe (I think) I know Carey too well... perhaps he has undermined his comedy persona by dabbling in seriously intelligent discourses in real life. During the movie I often felt I was looking at someone who was pretending to be dumb; actors, at their best, dont let that show. I hope there is no D & D free . If the producers want to go one more, they might be better to focus more on characters like the daughter... she had potential... like the old dumb blond jokes, but she was a brunette. At least, the producers should try a little harder to make the gags fit the main story line. Do I recommend seeing the movie? The best lines are in the trailers. The last 10-15 minutes is okay. I get a pensioners concession! and I deliberately choose such things to change specifically my energy.
