Evan the Great, Dumb and Dumber : When Harry meets Lloydand Son of Mask ranks among the worst comedies of all time, and they share one striking similarity. However, despite all the movies that came out in the 2000s, it looks completely different on the surface. For example, Dumb and Dumber : When Harry meets Lloyd Derek Richardson and Eric Christian Olsen star as two teenagers with dangerously low IQs who become embroiled in a corrupt principal's scheme while transitioning from home school to a public high school in the 1980s.
An absurd but more realistic premise When Harry met Lloyd it feels very different from the other two titles, both of which have supernatural buildings. Evan the Great follows a biblically-themed story of a modern man forced to re-enact the story of Noah's Ark, while the second follows a family thrown into chaos when Loki's mask gives their dog and infant child supernatural powers. However, both films have very different tones and actorsOscar winner Morgan Freeman and Office star Steve Carell and the latter is led by comedian Jamie Kennedy.
Son of the Mask, Dumb and Dumber, and Evan Mighty all failed without Jim Carrey
All three were sequels to Jim Carrey movies
Despite their differences, what all three titles have in common is that they were sequels to Jim Carrey films in which the popular comedy star did not reprise his original roles. Specifically, they were a prequel to 1994 Stupid and StupidIt is an independent sequel to 1994 Maskand 2003's spin-off sequel The mighty Bruce.

Although he had the highest income ever, Evan the Great was the most expensive comedy film ever made, making it a box office bomb. In fact, because theaters keep half of ticket sales and advertising costs are not included in production budgets, a film generally needs between two and two and a half times its budget to break even. Thus, it doesn't even look like that Dumb and Dumberer even brokealthough it was the only member of the trio to gross more than its budget at the worldwide box office.

Carrey may feel a stronger bond with the character of “Sonic the Hedgehog” than the roles he will play again. [elsewhere]…
