DUMB AND DUMBER TO | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"DUMB AND DUMBER TO"
(2014) (Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:: Comedy: Two dimwitted friends set out to find the daughter one has only just learned about, all in hopes of getting her to donate a kidney to him.

PLOT:

Lloyd Christmas (JIM CARREY) and Harry Dunne (JEFF DANIELS) are two dimwitted men who've been friends forever, through thick and thin. When they visit Harry's parents in hopes of having one of them donate a kidney to him, they not only learn he was adopted, but also -- via a postcard dated from 22 years ago -- that Harry fathered a child. Thinking his offspring might be a donor match, they visit Fraida Felcher (KATHLEEN TURNER), the girl's mother who states she once tried to contact her daughter, but her letter was returned unopened.

Using the address from that, Lloyd and Harry travel to Maryland but just miss Penny (RACHEL MELVIN) who's headed off to a conference of big minds in El Paso. They learn this from her adoptive father, Dr. Pinchelow (STEVE TOM), who's too ill to travel to that conference, and Penny's stepmother, Adele (LAURIE HOLDEN).

Unbeknownst to Dr. Pinchelow, she's plotting to kill him with the assistance of their handyman, Travis (ROB RIGGLE), who thinks he knows a thing or two about such matters due to having a twin brother, Capt. Lippincott (ROB RIGGLE), who's a Special Ops warrior. With Travis in tow, Lloyd and Harry then set off on a road trip to find Penny and hope that she has a kidney she can donate to Harry.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: If they're fans of the original film, anyone in this one, or stupid comedies, they might show some interest.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13: For crude and sexual humor, partial nudity, language and some drug references.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
