A relentlessly stupid comedy elevated by its main actors: Jim Carrey goes bonkers and Jeff Daniels carries himself admirably in an against-type performance. Read critic reviews

Nov 21, 2014From the Farrelly brothers comes Dumb and Dumber, an outrageously hilarious screwball comedy. When a limo driver named Lloyd Christmas becomes infatuated with one of his fares named Mary, he convinces his best friend Harry to travel cross-country with him to return a briefcase that she left at the airport. Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, and Lauren Holly lead the cast and are especially good with this type of farcical comedy. Plus, the humor is able to be silly and outlandish without being vulgar or gross. Additionally, the soundtrack is used remarkable well, creating a lighthearted tone. Over-the-top and incredibly fun, Dumb and Dumber delivers a ton of laughs.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jun 24, 2012In the world of comedy, there are two things I try to avoid: low-brow humor and the Farrelly brothers. "Dumb and Dumber" belongs under both of these categories, yet it never fails to me make laugh. I guess my reason for liking it is less because of the material put forth by its creators and more because of the likable performances given by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, who are still funny when the jokes aren't. Normally, I have a pretty sophisticated sense of humor, but when it comes right down to it, "Dumb and Dumber" is just good, mindless entertainment.Stephen E Super Reviewer

May 14, 2012Dumb and Dumber is FUNNY. Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey play very well off each other, and their improvised moments save the film from mediocrity. However, this film walks the line of sheer lameness at times, and it isn't afraid to cross into the dark side. But the moments that work, work very well. I find myself quoting "Dumb and Dumber" long after viewings, and it is one of those comedies you can watch more than once, and proves the importance of a good cast.Bryan D Super Reviewer
