Rolling StonePeter TraversNov 15, 2014
The bad news isn’t that Carrey and Daniels got old, it's that the jokes did. The spirit is still willing in Peter and Bobby Farrelly, the original writer-directors, but the sagging flesh is weak from prolonged repetition. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreNov 13, 2014
Truth be told, I was never a fan of the first “Dumber,” but the stars made it endurable and convincingly stupid. Here, they’re sometimes funny, and sometimes just sad. They’re better than this, no matter how good they are at hiding the fact that they know it. Read full review

So maybe some of this is hilarious. Heck, maybe all of it is. It will not be everyone’s cup of tea, and it was not mine. Read full review

Dumb And Dumber To is crueler, crasser, grosser, lazier, creepier, and, yes, dumber than the first film. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeNov 13, 2014
When the gags a movie is most confident in — the ones it uses three or four times, as if they were sure things — involve pushing unsuspecting pedestrians into a bush or riffing on "Bond, James Bond," something's wrong in the yuk factory. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerDavid HiltbrandNov 14, 2014
To give the film its due, the stupidity is served up with energy and good pace. But it takes a thin premise and stretches it like Silly Putty. The title should really be "Obvious and Obviouser." Read full review

If there was any doubt that most things in society have been dumbed down in the last couple of decades, Dumb and Dumber To could be exhibit A. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleNov 13, 2014
This is anti-funny, where every attempt at a joke is like a little rock thrown at your face. Read full review

Before I go into the grinding awfulness of Dumb and Dumber To, let’s get one damn thing straight: The original Dumb and Dumber is a clasick. Read full review

Portland OregonianStephen WhittyNov 14, 2014
Occasionally, particularly when it sticks to simple slapstick, the movie wins a laugh. But the majority of it isn't just dumb and dumber, or even crude and cruder. At nearly two hours, it's just dull — and duller. Read full review

From junky production values to the parade of unfunny supporting characters to its lazy energy, Dumb and Dumber To falls on its face. Read full review

The PlaylistDrew TaylorNov 13, 2014
The original film was unpredictable and loose and every so often gave up the aura of dangerousness. If anything, the sequel is a tepid, watered down, and at 100-minutes oftentimes boring attempt to recapture the magic but without any of the whimsy. Read full review
