Back in 1994, no one could have ever suspected that a pair of dimwitted friends would become Hollywood sensations. Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey teamed up for the buddy comedy “Dumb and Dumber”, in which they portrayed a couple of less than intelligent friends on a quest to return a briefcase full of money to its rightful owner. Opening to just over 16 million, the comedy quickly benefited from word of mouth and went on to earn a robust total of over 127 million- a number even more impressive considering the year (1994).
Nine years later, a sequel was released, but without the star talent of Carrey and Daniels, it struggled to find a crowd and earned a measly total of 26 million dollars at the box office. Imagine everyone’s surprise when, 20 years after the original, a sequel featuring the return of Carrey and Daniels was announced.
This week, Dumb and Dumber 2 is released on DVD and Blu-Ray along with seven other new movies;
