Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd is a 2003 American buddy comedy film directed by Troy Miller from a screenplay by Miller and Robert Brener. It is the second installment in the Dumb and Dumber franchise and a prequel to the 1994 film Dumb and Dumber. Depicting the original film's characters during their high school years, it stars Derek Richardson and Eric Christian Olsen in the title roles. The film was released by New Line Cinema on June 13, 2003, and was a moderate box office success grossing $39.3 million against a $19 million budget, but was panned by critics, who compared it unfavorably with the original.
Plot
In 1986, Harry Dunne finally gets his chance to go to regular high school. At the same time, Lloyd Christmas has been adopted and exchanged several times until he is finally accepted by the school janitor, Ray. Harry bumps into Lloyd on the way to school and, like destiny, they instantly became best friends. Lloyd introduces Harry to his "friend" Turk, the school bully, who lives for torturing him. After putting Lloyd in a trash can, he hoists them up a flagpole.
