Dumb & Dumber

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Paul Kalina The Age (Australia) Jan 23
The plot sustains a series of scatological and sight-gags, some endearingly "dumb" humor, and provides a vehicle for Carrey's impressive talents in knockabout physical humor. Go to Full Review Ryan Gilbey Independent on Sunday 12/13/2017
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. Go to Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune 08/23/2017

You cannot deny a laugh, and Dumb and Dumber has plenty. Go to Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk Sep 23
10/10
The magic within Dumb and Dumber lies in Jeff and Jim, two grown-ass-adult-males acting like actual 6th grade children. Keeping straight faces and horsing around in ways that would make every mother in America roll their eyes... Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 08/31/2022
