Trailer Thursday- The return of Harry and Lloyd/ El regreso de los tontos

20 years later Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reunite in Dumb and Dumber To from Universal Pictures.

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels return twenty years later to reprise their roles as Lloyd and Harry in Dumb and Dumber To premiering on the big screen this Friday. 20 years since their first adventure, Harry finds out he has a daughter who was adopted.
