Be warned!, 20 September 2000

To the point:

I rented this DVD last night and was totally prepared for the simplest level of entertainment.... and was still disappointed. We turned it off. I chuckled a couple times, but the movie was going nowhere and Jamie was being wasted on some really, really, really bad dialogue. They all were. Dumb and Dumber looks like fine art compared to this.
