I probably went with my expectations set too high given this was a Farrelly Brothers movie and the original surprised me, it was actually funny. However,\u00a0<em>To<\/em> is a repeat sequel. Harry and Lloyd engage in another cross-country misadventure with Lloyd having an ulterior romantic intention. Maybe the Farrellys did this on purpose. If so, it&#8217;s a let down since we still remember what the moronic duo is capable of doing after 20 years. Just insert Harry&#8217;s lost daughter for the ransom money and Mary Samsonite; El Paso for the ski resort; and throw in the disgusting reality star from\u00a0<em>Honey Boo Boo\u00a0<\/em>having a cameo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Was it funny? The\u00a0malapropisms often were. Rob Riggle&#8217;s\u00a0vengeance moves were. KEN being a surrogate for TED (or as my brother calls it, Totally Enthralled Demagogues). Some gross bits involving beer, farts, fireworks, shrimping and naivet\u00e9 about sex. The Farrellys excelled at getting a good soundtrack again,\u00a0especially when Franz Ferdinand was employed for the travel sequences. I also noticed Lloyd&#8217;s character was meaner than usual. In the original, he could be selfish yet he came through for Harry. Here, he&#8217;s a dick which destroyed the point. These two are incredibly stupid but underneath their low-brow exteriors, they did mean well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Alamo Extras:<\/strong>\u00a0Wrestling,\u00a0<em>Jackass<\/em> stuff, Weird Al&#8217;s &#8220;Dare to be Stupid&#8221; video, Beavis &amp; Butt-head&#8217;s &#8220;Frog Baseball,&#8221; idiots burning a pizza, the\u00a0<em>Ace Ventura 2\u00a0<\/em>trailer, a\u00a0<em>Dana Carvey Show<\/em> bit with an unknown Steve Carell, a guy hand farting to &#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody,&#8221; a music video by David Unger using the first movie (see below, it&#8217;s a good song) and a scene from\u00a0<em>The Dead Pool<\/em>, a Dirty Harry movie in which Carrey appeared briefly as a music-video star being directed by Liam Neeson.
