The problem will be that they didn't give Carrey enough license to improvise. I read the first movies transcript and most of the jokes weren't funny and nearly everything that was unique or memorable Carrey just made up on the spot (e.g. hitting harry with the cane, spraying the binaca sideways, we landed on the moon etc.). The trailer made everything look incredibly scripted and rehashed, sad but not surprised. It'll probably be akin to Anchorman 2, rehashed moments and awkward forced jokes with bad timing because the original was so well loved that they reduced the improvising which was part of the originals charm.
