This was a prequel to the ridiculously popular Dumb and Dumber; it stirred near-universal derision. It lacked Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels; without them, it didn't have its own charm and comedic timing that made the original hit. Critics condemned the juvenile humor and very poorly written jokes, which felt like a cheap imitation of the original. The whole story of Harry and Lloyd's budding friendship was interesting on paper, but couldn't save this movie from being an outright flop.
