Two decades after Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels’ endearingly dense pairing spun slapstick comedy into box office gold in Dumb and Dumber, the long-awaited sequel, Dumb and Dumber To, arrives on Digital HD on February 3, 2015 and on DVD and Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and On Demand on February 17, 2015 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber; There’s Something about Mary; Me, Myself and Irene) the Dumb and Dumber To  Blu-ray™ Combo Pack offers hilarious extra belly laughs including an alternate opening, deleted and extended scenes, and a multi-part feature that takes viewers behind the scenes of the no-holds-barred comedy.


The side-splitting sequel also stars Rob Riggle (The Hangover, 21 Jump Street), Kathleen Turner (Marley & Me, Romancing the Stone), Laurie Holden (“The Walking Dead,” Silent Hill), Rachel Melvin (My Funny Valentine, “Days of Our Lives”), and Steve Tom (“Major Crimes,” Seven Pounds).

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: Dumband 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.

Our Review: 

I was so happy when they made another Dumb and Dumber movie! I really loved the first one and this second one doesn't disappoint. There are so many funny parts in this movie. If you like to laugh out loud when watching movies, then you will love Dumb and Dumber to. I loved it when they found their dog car that they had in the first movie. They are so happy! Then right after they start driving it, they go off a jump and the car falls apart. It was hilarious when they set off to find Harry's daughter from her address on an envelope. After driving for a while they end up back at the same house they left from. They did this because they were looking at the return address and not the mailing address. Another part I loved, is when they are driving a hearse next to a school bus. All of the kids are looking at the hearse then Loyd opens the curtain. His face is white and red with stuff all over it that looked like blood. The kids all scream, but then it shows him eating a powdered sugar donut with raspberry filling and that's what's all over his face. The kids all laugh and think he's really funny.

There are some pretty fun special features too. The alternate opening was pretty good. I also liked "what's so smart about dumb and dumber to" there are plenty more features too, like deleted/extended scenes, gag reel and "that's awesome!" the story of dumb and dumber to.

Our review:

 This is a good movie so we were super excited to get it on Blu-ray! We felt bad for Alexander when everything goes wrong that could possibly go wrong. He makes a wish on his birthday that all of his family would know what it's like to have a bad day. Then his brother wakes up with a huge pimple on his forehead and it's prom night. His sister wakes up with a cold and she is suppose to sing in a Peter Pan play that day. The mom wakes up late and tries to leave for work but her car battery is dead. The whole house is chaotic. There are so many funny parts in this movie you will love it! I loved the part when Dick Van Dyke was doing a book reading. There was a misprint in the book and he kept saying the wrong word over and over. It was so funny. It was cool to see how everything worked out and Alexander's birthday party was a huge success and the whole family had fun together. With all of the bad things that kept happening to them, it made them even closer as a family.

There are some fun bonus features too. I liked Alexander...in Real Life. This talks about the original book and has the real Alexander. He tells us how things were for him as a kid and what happened when his mom wrote this book about him. Also there are bloopers and the Australian Outback yard party that shows you all the animals in the film. And plenty more bonus features.
