Dumb and Dumber, which features Carrey and Jeff Daniels as nitwits traveling cross-country, is a frayed string of gags posing as a movie. Carrey, though, does literal-minded doofdom with peerless enthusiasm.

Top CriticThe wholeheartedness of this descent into crude and rude humor is so good-natured and precise that it's hard not to partake in the guilty pleasures of the exercise.

Top CriticThis is a long way from the social comedy of Jerry Lewis. The characters here are ultimately turned into punching bags or punch-line dispensers.

Top CriticA movie that fully lives up to its name, right down to an opening credit sequence rife with intentional misspellings and grammatical errors.
05/20/03
Top CriticAn uneven collection of bodily function jokes, facial gyrations, sexual jibes and pedestrian slapstick.
01/01/00
Top CriticWhile I won't claim to have gone through this entire film without laughing, there are some long periods between chuckles.
01/01/00
Top CriticInspired, irreverent, spark-driven comedy that takes you places you never thought a movie would go -- even a Jim Carrey movie.
01/01/00
Top CriticAn execrable catalogue of doody jokes, Dumb and Dumber is an abominable, abdominal comedy.
01/01/00
Top CriticCarrey, I am now convinced, is a true original. In The Mask, he had the screenplay and production to back him up. Here, the filmmaking is more uncertain.
