Dumb and dumber

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2004)

Caught a preview screening of this flick which is essentially just a stale "Risky Business"-wannabe with dumber jokes. Lovely Elisha Cuthbert makes this almost watchable, but the lazy writing and tepid direction undermine the game cast. As the previous reviewer noted, the film's attitude toward Asians is borderline racist (way to alienate a section of your audience, dude!). This is thin, unoriginal boxoffice fodder aimed at undemanding teens and horny middle-aged losers (which means it will probably be a huge hit). But then again, what would you expect from the guy who gave us "The Animal"?!
