Well, it's definitely not the first movie, that's for sure. This movie came out about 15 (or more) years too late. A lot of the jokes fell flat as a result.

I couldn't help but think throughout that nostalgia cannot be forced (same phrases, looks, cameos... I mean, do we really care about seeing the blind kid with the headless bird or Sea Bass again?).

The biggest problem? It suffered from "The Hangover Part II" effect: It was the same movie as the first one. The 2 travel across the country with a MacGuffin to a character where a twist is revealed that could have been guessed earlier in the movie. Another kung fu flashback from Lloyd, another ending with a prank involving hot women, the guy traveling with them dies in the middle again, etc, etc.

Carrey and Daniels weren't bad, but it left me wondering if Carrey is scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point in his career.

I was very disappointed with this, and should have known better.
