OT: Jim Carrey backs out of Dumb and Dumber To

Submitted by robbyt003 on

Hey it's the offseason.

I don't know about you guys, but I was really excited for this movie.  Dumb and Dumberer, or whatever it was called, was just plain awful.  The original was one of the best comedies of the 90s and I'm sure the sequel would have been just as good.

Dumb and Dumber To was the title. I am also bummed out about this. Was really excited for this as the original is my favorite comedy of all time.

My bus driver would play that on repeat, every single ride home, just to get us to all shut up and sing along to the song.

Like you, I had no idea what it actually meant and sang it at home.  My parents were furious.

My mom actually called the bus driver on that one.  Yeah, my parents were THOSE people.

I am going to disagree about Dumb and Dumberer being awful. The Jim Carey kid nailed the character and Bob Sagat yelling about the special kid in his bathroom was quality.

Exactly. The only problem is that if they weren't showing enthusiasm before, the lead actor 'backing out' won't inspire them now. 

I'm not blaming Carrey at all. I think if he wants to make this movie, all he needs to know is that he, Daniels, the Farrelly brothers, and the writers are all-in. As long as those guys are enthused, the movie will sell itself. 

I just hope it gets done.

Dumb and Dumber was a work of absolute cinematic genius. So many lines/scenes that were pure gold. I hope Jim will reconsider once the studio gets its act together.
