FILM: Dumb And Dumber To (dirs: Bobby and Peter Farrelly, 2014)

"No need to apologise."

Some critics need to lighten up, and this is a film that needs to be seen with an up-for-it audience: Dumb And Dumber To is one of the funniest if daftest films of the year.  In spite of the twenty-years gap, this sequel is literally more of the same.  Very American Pie in its humour, the gags very much follow the template of the original and come thick and fast, and with Daniels's wonderful slapstick and Carrey's undimmed impeccable timing most of the gags work.  It is relentlessly childish and unsophisticated - like its lead duo - but on that level it is also hugely entertaining.
