I probably laughed more watching “Dumb and Dumber To” than any other movie this year, save this summer’s brilliant “Neighbors” and impossibly clever “22 Jump Street.” It’s not just that the jokes and gags arrive one after another, barreling toward the audience with relentless regularity like baseballs from a pitching machine, although that certainly helps.
For better or for worse, the Farrelly brothers, who debuted Harry and Lloyd’s first road-trip comedy two decades ago when I wasn’t yet a teenager, probably swayed my sense of humor their way with their prodigious (and mega-popular) output during the mid to late 1990s and early 2000s.
