Monday’s international box office report saw Disney’s highly acclaimed Big Hero 6 booted off the top spot, only to be replaced by… Dumb and Dumber To. I would like to think that cinema has matured and outgrown the kind of humour that we had twenty years ago, and a sequel to Dumb and Dumber was just… unnecessary. Critics haven’t exactly …
