    Much like the original, this one too, will cater to audiences with a certain sensibility. If you’re one for slapstick/ farcical brand of humour, you’re in for a good time. But if you’re one for subtleties and wisecracks, this may offer you only a few chuckles. Whatever, your brand of humour or cinema, nostalgia panders to most palettes and for that reason alone perhaps, you might want to give this film a watch.

  • Save some potty jokes, the plot is essentially a vehicle for a bunch of sight gags and situational comedy all strung together. Carrey is a natural – he often sounds like he’s ad-libbing and Turner’s dour one-liners delivered in her nicotine-roasted voice is genuinely funny. The jokes are definitely ‘dumb’ (and therefore, it works in this film’s context), but with a movie title that literally proclaims the same out loud, what can you expect?
