Dumb And Dumberer : When Harry Met Lloyd (2003) 7/10

Starring : Eric Christian Olsen, Derek Richardson, Rachel Nichols, Cheri Oteri, Luis Guzman, Elden Henson, Mimi Rogers, Eugene Levy
Director : Troy Miller
Running Time : 79 mins

It's the first day at school for Harry Dunne (Richardson), and he soon makes firm friends with janitor's son Lloyd Christmas (Olsen). Together they start to get students to join their special needs class, a class that has been set up by Principal Collins (Levy) who is using the class as a scam to embezzle funds, and fellow student Jessica (Nichols) usies the hapless pair to fnd out the whole story for the school paper.

This prequel to the classic 1994 comedy has one major failing - neither of the original stars. However, Olsen and Richardson do a pretty good job of impersonating their predecessors, and even though this is filled with obvious toilet humour and campy plot lines, there is still something here that keeps it entertaining for its thankfully short runtime.
