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

What makes this fantasy of anti-social behaviour so painfully funny, is the gulf between etiquette and vulgarity, the desire to be a child whooping it up in the adult world.

You cannot deny a laugh, and Dumb and Dumber has plenty.

The plot, of course, is merely an excuse for an endless series of gags, and the percentage of them that score is fairly high.

[Featrues] a plethora of memorable scenes.

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.

The 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.

Audience Reviews for Dumb & Dumber

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
