Plot Outline: Set back in the 80s when Harry met Lloyd in high school where they cross paths with a mean principal and a bunch of other outcasts much like themselves.
Plot: Set in 1986 when best friends Harry and Lloyd were teenagers, this is the madcap comic tale of their attempt to get out of the “special needs” department and into regular high school life.
Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
Outtakes are shown alongside the ending credits.
Goofs: We know about 41 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Anachronisms: Lloyd is listening to Vanilla Ices “Ice Ice Baby” on the school loudspeaker. The movie takes place in 1986, and the song did not come out until 1991.
Trivia: There are 10 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Early on, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were lined up to write the prequel for $1.5 million. They later decided to not work on the project and returned all of the money to New Line.
- Lin Shaye was the only cast member to star in both the original Dumb and Dumber and the sequel.
- Eric Christian Olsen was repeatedly denied the role of Lloyd because the producers thought he was “too good-looking”. It was only after seeing some home-video footage of Eric in full make-up improvising a scene with already-cast Derek Richardson that they gave him the role.
