This movie flat out sucks. There's no other, smart guy way to put it. Its horrible. Its the worst prequel I've ever seen, the jokes are pure, raw slapstick in it's lowest possible form, and the two leads may look like Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, but there's no way in hell they could pull it off like they did in 1994. Also, if you're going to make a prequel, set in 1986, use stuff in 1986. We see new dollar bills and the most fatal flaw is the song "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice. The song came out in 1990 and this is set in 1986. Sense? Nada. This movie was clearly rushed, not thought over properly, and serves no purpose.
Lets begin with the cover for the DVD. If you closely at Lloyds tooth it is clear that the left corner is just drawn with Sharpie marker or some dry erase marker to look as if it was missing. Nothing says a movie is worse than when the cover doesn't even look believable. A poor entrance to a poor movie. Fits perfectly.
Before Harry and Lloyd where the best of dumb buddies, they were in high school struggling to make the grade. Now we get to the moment they first met by bumping heads. Harry was homeschooled and is now attending regular school. Upon meeting Lloyd whom gives him a half assed tour of the school, they now become the best of friends and are inseparable. After a class opens called "The Special Needs" class, Harry and Lloyd are asked to get people to attend. A good girl Jessica finds out why the lunch lady would be teaching a class and she soon discovers that the principal and the teacher for the fake Specials class are stealing money from the school and it's now up to Harry, Lloyd, and Jessica to stop them.
Since the movie is supposed to be focused on the stupid characters of Harry and Lloyd, I shouldn't say this, but need to. It gets incredibly aggravating because the stupidity of the characters makes the movie move in a slow pace and even though its a mere 86 minutes it feels way longer. Harry and Lloyd are portrayed as stupid beyond belief. There's no way anyone in the world could be this stupid and not be mentally challenged. Its an insult.
I too find it absolutely hilarious that the cameo appearance by Bob Saget is funnier than the two leads in the movie. Bob Saget's cameo is nowhere near as funny to earn this movie an extra star, but its damn sure funny to earn it probably the most memorable thing about this movie. Julia Duffy doesn't do much in the movie, but I remember her as Mrs. Hayfer in Drake & Josh. Those will be the only two people who I cite as a "decent job done" in this movie. Eugene Levy is awful in this movie and so are the actors who portray Harry and Lloyd. Luis Guzmán also does a poor job in this as well.
I thought I'd approach this film with an open mind and have a decent attitude and relate it to something me and my friend do. I like a lot of stupid movies like Bio-Dome, but this just completely blew my mind. From the DVD menu gags to the "Dont press this button" joke on there as well I knew this movie was going to be no more than two stars if they found burping and farting to be the most hilarious joke on the planet. Sure enough I was right. Worst prequel to any movie and awful movie all together.
Starring: Eric Christian Olsen, Derek Richardson, Rachel Nichols, Bob Saget, Luis Guzmán, Eugene Levy, and Mimi Rogers.
