10 Delayed Sequels That Really Weren't Worth The Wait

4. Dumb And Dumber To (20 Years)

Peter and Bobby Farrelly's debut feature is without a doubt one of the greatest studio comedies ever made, a gross, stupid and more importantly hilarious comedy that also features a surprising amount of heart and charm. Comedy sequels are very difficult to pull off, and it took a full 20 years for follow-up Dumb and Dumber To to hit theaters. When it did, audiences were greeted with a final product that was closer in quality to the misjudged 2003 prequel than the original classic. While there is nostalgia value in seeing Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back as dimwit best friends Harry and Lloyd, the effect soon wears off after sitting through a string of largely unfunny sketches. Whereas in the original the main characters were portrayed as harmless and innocent idiots, in the sequel they come across as mean, vulgar and often plain creepy middle-aged men. A handful of decent gags isn't enough to sustain an entire movie, and Dumb and Dumber To joins the lengthy list of disappointing comedy sequels.
