And I can't describe how terrible it is. This is my first time seeing it and I'm a little more than half way through. I haven't laughed once. This sucks something fierce.

I wanted this to be funny so bad but they took the quaint randomness of the first one and ramped it up to a whole new level. They really tried too hard on everything.
A 3 minute musical scene? Really?

Which version are you watching? I saw the theatrical version and have the extended version in my queue. I want to see the extra stuff.

I watched it the other night. Some the jokes were tired and over the top, but I did laugh.

It was exactly what I expected to be. Overall I enjoyed it. Probably wont see it again, but it was worth a watch.

I really enjoyed it myself, but I also came into it expecting it to be completely terrible.

If you went into it expecting anything then you'd be disappointed. I knew it would suck so when I watched I laughed at a couple parts.

In general, I hate sequels to really well done movies. They always seem to come up short. I'm avoiding Dumb & Dumber To for that sole reason.

I'm halfway through. It's not awesome and seems to try too hard, but it's not that terrible. Hard to duplicate the first

I went in thinking it was going to be completely random and stupid, and that's exactly what it was. I think that's why I enjoyed it.

i haven't seen it since it was in theaters. Honestly, I felt like my friends laughed at it because they almost felt forced to.

i wouldn't say it was "terrible", but it sure as hell wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination

I agree.

I love the first one, but I heard the first one was weak in the theaters. Then gained a huge following like a cult classic.. and now everyone loves Anchorman.

The 2nd one is not good at all, but I was able to watch it all twice.

The movie's biggest problem is it was preceeded by one of the best comedies in the last decade.

Has funny moments, but completely failed to capture the magic of the original.

All the cameos at the end were pretty good.

I thought the bats are chickens of the cave scene was hilarious. And when he says frick you to the new dad had me rolling. It's not the first one by a long shot, but it's enjoyable if you temper your expectations

Ok well the movie really went haywire the second half. Felt more like a Wayans spoof. Some laughs but not what I was expecting.
