Maybe most overrated comedy of all time. I like it, but I can watch it all the way through without laughing since it's been quoted ad nauseum. Kind of the same way I feel about Anchorman, though I liked Anchorman more.
Farrelly Brothers are big time hit and miss, IMO.
Jim Carrey just pulled out of the sequel of "Dumb and Dumber" just a few months after the project was announced. The reason: Carrey became progressively more frustrated with New Line and Warner Brothers' apparent lack of enthusiasm for the project (according to ETOnline sources).
UPDATE (6 p.m. PST): Sources close to the project tell Yahoo! Movies the film will not be made without Carrey.
I hope someone does. I'm really shocked that really stupid movies keep getting made and the studios are shocked they don't do well. There is a pretty big disconnect between the studios and the audience.
Is there? Or are people like you and I disconnected from the movie-going audiences? Movies with dark humor or complexity don't tend to draw the audiences. Simple-to-digest comedies like Grownups ($270M) are what sell. People that love Grown-Ups probably don't tend to ***** about movies on the internet like Coen bros fans would so we aren't exposed to them, though their numbers are great.
