Dumb and Dumber To

Two well meaning but rudely honest friends from Wichita reunite after two decades for a farcical cross country chase. Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, forever chasing a brighter day, hear that Harry has a daughter he never knew about and decide to meet her. Their plan is simple in intent but messy in execution, pulling them into a string of ridiculous misadventures as they press on in a rusting van and a parade of oddball encounters. Along the way they bungle clues, brighten strangers' lives with their blunt honesty, and stumble into each new absurd obstacle with reckless optimism. It stays focused on friendship, laughs, and chaos. Their antics test their loyalty and force them to confront what friendship means.
