I would think with it being one of your favorite comedies, you'd be excited at the prospect of a new movie. I know I am, and I grew up watching the first one. Nostalgia can get the better of me though

Nostalgia means really nothing to me when it comes to movies.

Seriously. A production budget of $5M, and it will surpass $50M domestic? What are they waiting for?

It is for sure for a lot of people, myself included. I went to go see Dumb and Dumber To last night, and no critic or user opinions would have phased me in the slightest. Me and my friends went to see the first one when we were 12 and it's been one of my favorites ever since. Bringing back the Farrelly Brothers and the original actors pretty much had me running to the theater.

That being said, if I had a time machine, I would go back and tell myself not to bother. Definitely one of the biggest letdowns in a while. I'm a little mind-boggled that the original creators and actors came up with this and released it. IMO they don't seem to understand or remember at all what made the original film work. This new film is more akin to that prequel movie that came out 10 or so years back.
