The best critic slams of 'Dumb and Dumber To'

Some things should just be left alone.

At least that's what the critical consensus seems to be on Dumb and Dumber To, a sequel to a beloved cult comedy that comes over 20 years after the original. Critics were not fans of the Jim Carrey/Jeff Daniels comedy, which currently has a low 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. We rounded up the best slams of the film.

Paste BN's own Claudia Puig:

"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."

New York Magazine:

"If Dumb and Dumber To were a live comedian, he'd have said, "Is this an audience or an oil painting?" He'd have left the stage in tears."

Minneapolis Star Tribune:

"The result is simply stupid. This embarrassing revival plays as if the script were written in Comic Sans."

The Associated Press:

"What may have been subversive and irreverent in 1994, now just seems vulgar, hateful and tone-deaf ..."

Newark Star-Ledger:

"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."

The AV Club:

"A sequel as desperate, in its own 'official' way, as the knockoff-brand origin story that previously besmirched the franchise name."

San Fancisco Chronicle:

"Is this worse for Jim Carrey or Jeff Daniels? That's the sort of question that comes to mind while not laughing at Dumb and Dumber To."

Seattle Times:

"The whole thing feels like a product of desperation and creative exhaustion."
