Thank You: Jim Carrey Abandons Dumb and Dumber 2 Due to ‘Lack of Enthusiasm’ From Studio

While Dumb & Dumber is most certainly one of the Farrelly boys’ greatest comedies, we don’t think there were tons of people itching for a sequel. The horrific prequel featuring none of the original actors definitely injected a sour taste in our mouths, plus the recent track-record of Peter and Bobby Farrelly isn’t exactly spectacular. Comedy has evolved since they made a name for themselves in the ’90s, and with each film it seems they’re trying to find a pot of comedic gold that just doesn’t exist anymore for them. Which is why we weren’t over the moon regarding news that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels were reuniting for a Dumb & Dumber 2, and it’s also why we’re not heartbroken upon hearing that Carrey has now left the project, which was set to shoot this fall.
Heh, the studio couldn’t possible lack enthusiasm any more than me.
Speak for yourselves! I would have seen it.
Jim Carey is not and has never been funny.
Ditto for Will Farrell.
I, for one, am heart broken.
Liar Liar will always be his greatest movie, artistic, comedic, or otherwise.
The Truman Show was perfect. A sequel would screw it up. It would be like Immanentizing the Eschaton.
