It's actually really cool and even sweet in some regards.

The best part about the film is the credits where they have two screens showing footage of Harry and Lloyd from the first movie in one of the screens and footage from them in the second movie on the other. But it's just how people react, whether consciously or not. It shouldn't be that way, if you enjoyed it then you enjoyed it and no shitty sequels should, hopefully, change that.
Like sort of how The Hangover 2 made people, myself included, doubt their enjoyment of the first movie. I doubt that most of these people don't consider When Harry Met Lloyd, the prequel, as "canon". But for people who DID love the original, whether they grew up with it or whatnot, this might actually damper their enjoyment of the first film. So the sequel being largely bad, with a few exceptions of some funny lines and moments, doesn't really affect my like of the first film at all, since I didn't love it. I like the first film, in all its stupidity, but it's not a film I was in love with in any way, shape, or form. Maybe they both thought 'what the hell, this might be fun?' Either that or they were paid very handsomely to make this happen. While Jeff Daniels, outside of his stint in The Newsroom, has played more supporting roles in films in recent years, I still don't think he's that hard up for work that he HAD to do this. Having said all that, Carrey's decision to commit to a sequel to one of his most remembered roles is mind-boggling. It's just a rehash of what was done the first time around with only slight tweaks. And I couldn't blame him for that, to be honest, in most of these cases, that is the case. The movie was so terrible that ever since then, and it's been 20 years since Ace Ventura 2 came out, that Jim Carrey has largely stayed away from sequels due to his feeling that the sequel is usually never good as the original. My mom and dad took me to see Ace Ventura 2 in a theater that, as far as I can remember, was largely empty.
Look, when I was a child, Jim Carrey was among my favorite actors, period. last attempt to hold on to the last vestige of their relevance by making a sequel to what is, arguably, their most successful and enduring comedy. Not only does it see two men in Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprising roles in the 50s and 60s, respectively. The bottom line, I loved seeing Carrey and Daniels together again and I enjoyed the parallels to the first film, but aside from a few misunderstandings and a line here or there, this film isn't even close to being the film fans waited twenty years to see. That's not the only issue here, as the bad guys are kind of the biggest joke in the movie and Lloyd finally crosses the line from cute to creepy. There's absolutely no spontaneity, like when Harry chucks the salt over his shoulder or Lloyd puts laxative in Harry's tea.

The new one is full of long running pranks, modern slang the pair don't understand, and just obvious jokes. The beauty of the original is that it was so simple and so stupid that you couldn't help but laugh.
The original film was legitimately laugh out loud funny, while it's sequel may lead to a snicker or two. That's all it take to get Harry and Lloyd back on the road for more antics AND.
In this long awaited sequel, Harry (Jeff Daniels) is in need of a kidney and finds out that his only living relative is a daughter he never knew about. Everyone who grew up watching the first film are adults now, and the demographic they were going for with a PG-13 rating, has no idea who Harry and Lloyd are, hence the disappointing numbers at the box office. Despite the success of the first film, the Farrelly's waited far too long to bring the pair back. After twenty long years, Harry and Lloyd are back AND.
