Fans of the 1994 Dumb and Dumber comedy classic listen up: Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are at it again and will be reuniting in Dumb and Dumber To!
Universal has just released the first trailer from the comedy sequel on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. The movie poster was also unveiled on the Today show, which has Carrey and Daniels soaring in their infamous ‘84 Sheepdog.
The dynamic duo from the original film will be returning to reprise their roles as Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas.
In an interview with E! News back in 2013, Daniels revealed that the sequel was going to be just as funny (if not funnier) as the original.
“There are some things that we’re going to do in Dumb and Dumber To that make the toilet scene [in the original] seem lame. Pales in comparison and I can’t divulge what, but just that they’ve topped it. The best thing about it? I get to work with a comedic genius,” said Daniels. The comedic genius he is referring to is none other than Jim Carrey, of course.
The trailer ensures there will be lots of laughter with the storyline picking up where it left off almost 20 years ago. Harry and Lloyd hit the road in search of Harry’s long-lost daughter (who he never knew he had) in the hopes of gaining a new kidney.
Here is the film synopsis:
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: Dumb and 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.
Back for the sequel are Kathleen Turner, Laurie Holden, Rob Riggle, Cam Neely and Brady Bluhm. Actress Jennifer Lawrence is set to make a cameo in the upcoming comedy flick.
Dumb and Dumber scored $247 million worldwide back in its early 90’s release. The sequel, Dumb and Dumber To, is scheduled to debut in theaters November 14th, 2014.
