Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd

In 1986, Harry Dunne starts at a regular high school and bumps into Lloyd Christmas, the janitor's adopted son. They become best friends on the spot. Principal Collins wants to pocket $100,000 and invents a fake special class, and the pair help set it up without grasping the scam. A school-paper reporter grows suspicious of the principal, and the boys fall out over her. It is a prequel with a new cast, Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson. The Farrellys, Carrey and Daniels were not involved.
