Jim Carrey puts faith in new comedy
HOLLYWOOD -- Jim Carrey is slightly miffed with the marketing of Dumb And Dumberer, the sequel to his 1994 comic hit Dumb & Dumber.

Neither he nor Dumb & Dumber co-star Jeff Daniels are in the sequel, which is actually a prequel set in 1986 when the two doofus characters meet in high school.

"I don't know," Carrey says of what he thinks of the new flick.

"I've never seen it. I have no idea what it's like.

"I wish them luck with it."

But there is a problem, says Carrey, who is starring in his own summer comedy, the God-fearing fantasy Bruce Almighty.

"I have a lot of people coming up to me thinking I'm in it," Carrey says of Dumber And Dumberer, "and I guess they have a little sin of omission there. They did a lot of campaigning without saying who was in it or whatever. So, I don't know if they kind of misled people in that way."
