“(Originally posted as a comment to a siteu0026#39;s review)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(Iu0026#39;m glad that many people were able to find enjoyment in this, this comment isnu0026#39;t intended to cause any judging or disrespect on your experience watching this. Sincerely glad it brought you laughter and joy)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot to take the first film too serious, but it did have heart. Lloydu0026#39;s speech at the beginning of the first one, it felt sincere. There was a great sense of desperation in his lonely hopes of having more friends.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs the first film goes on, itu0026#39;s amusing and funny seeing exactly why he and Harry canu0026#39;t have friends (u0026quot;You donu0026#39;t kill people you donu0026#39;t know, thatu0026#39;s the rule.u0026quot; *minutes after meeting Harry and Lloyd, pulls for his gun*), and even getting insight into Lloydu0026#39;s warped mind of what it could be like to live a more active social life (joking with friends by the fireplace, pleasant dinner with lovely girlfriend, chomping on someoneu0026#39;s nuts and ripping out a chefu0026#39;s heart….)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ethe first film literally starts on Hope Street.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBest of all, I love that at the end of everything, Harry and Lloyd still at least have each other.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo, it wasnu0026#39;t a big quality film, it was largely a string of dumb jokes. But if you pay enough attention, youu0026#39;ll find thereu0026#39;s fantastic warmth and even a story going on (outside of what seems to be the main point of returning a briefcase), both of which is severely missing in the latest film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI did laugh a bit throughout. But, Carrey and Daniels were more of glorified cartoon parodies rather the two characters we saw 20 years ago. The entire world itself felt like a glorified cartoon parody with loose sight of the first film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyone needing a laugh, the film may deliver, but your old pals Harry and Lloyd, and the world you were acquainted with 20 years ago, wonu0026#39;t be there.”
