Let’s be honest, the first trailer for Dumb and Dumber To didn’t inspire much confidence. Sure it had a few moments of levity, but after waiting so many years for the movie to finally happen, I was left quite underwhelmed by my first glimpse at it. Whereas the Peter and Bobby Farrelly’s original is a classic comedy about two really dumb guys, this looked to be a really dumb movie about two guys trying to do comedy again.
Luckily there is some hope on the horizon, courtesy of this new international trailer. It may start out the same as the previous one, but it then shows off lots of new footage that includes exactly Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels’ Lloyd and Harry getting up to exactly the type of “so stupid they’re genius” gags that I was originally looking forward to.
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their signature roles as Lloyd and Harry in the sequel to the smash hit that took the physical comedy and kicked it in the nuts: “Dumb and Dumber To.” The original film’s directors, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, take Lloyd and Harry on a road trip to find a child Harry never knew he had and the responsibility neither should ever, ever be given.
Dumb and Dumber To also stars Rachel Melvin, Kathleen Turner, Brady Bluhm, Laurie Holden, Steve Tom and Rob Riggle, and will be hitting cinemas on November 14, 2014.

Haha, that actually looks flippin funny. What I like is how enthusiastically they’re playing dumb, especially Carrey. Most people play dumb with some self awareness or they don’t go far enough. These guys however are so lacking in self-awareness that they are confidently dumb
I swear, this all looks like classic Carrey, like the guy was just waiting for something to come along and let him go full tilt like the old days
