Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Simply A Masterpiece
Good movie but grossly overrated
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
I'll say it: this is one of the funniest films of all time. Few films can make me laugh each time I see them, but Dumb and Dumber manages to do just that. Yes, it's over the top and a little too crude at parts, but it really is, and will continue to be laugh out loud funny.
I discovered this masterpiece because my father bought the VHS for me, maybe the year after it's release.So, it has been an unconditional love for 22 years now...Everything is perfect, from the start point with a series of epic characters, so well played by the actors, through a great script and a collection of cult, timeless gags that made it unbeatable.With this one, my love for the Farrelly brothers started, a bit of a punk attitude in the comedy, so politically incorrect, but never losing the caring part towards their characters, even they're handicapped.It has also a super soundtrack that made me say "That's the dumb&dumber song" instead of "Pretty woman" haha
The cross-country adventures of two good-hearted but incredibly stupid friends. Dumb and Dumber alongside The Mask is easily 2 of Jim Carrey's funniest movie roles too bad that he can't recreate that amazing sense of humor now too anyways moving on what makes this film so iconic? For example lines like this: We got no food, we got no jobs... our PETS' HEADS ARE FALLING OFF! or moments like Jeff Daniels face in the bathroom or that cop drinking pee and start going nuts from the taste of it but it was also made on the 90's back when movies were iconic and original now we get remakes and sequels that suck and although i didn't mind the sequel this one will always remain my number one Dumb & Dumber movie!!
With this being a comedy about two rock-stupid guys, I think the Farrelly brothers did a great job at writing out the characters in this movie. Of course, Harry and Lloyd are the stars of this movie, and especially with Lloyd, they're perfect as "idiots" in this movie. Like a movie with good character development, Lloyd and Harry have very distinct personalities, and this really makes the movie such a ball to watch. Harry is the least dumb of the two, and has a slightly bigger conscience than Lloyd (though he's capable of doing low things). Lloyd is not only the dumbest of the two, but has a pretty dark personality, since he sells Harry's dead parakeet, Petey, to a blind kid before embarking on their journey to Aspen. Harry and Lloyd are excellent counterparts to Beavis and Butthead. The Farrelly brothers executed the humor very well in this movie. Among the most notable achievements in this area is the fact that they pull off "gross-out" humor that's actually funny. I find this a very tricky feat since so much humor of this ilk is done only to gross people out rather than laugh.Mark Irwin's cinematography for this movie is quite superb. The shots of the mountains in Aspen, the somewhat run-down areas in Providence, and other locales in this movie look really good, which strangely go together well with the humor. Carrey's delivery always surpasses just funny or just professional and is subtle maniacal in perfection. There aren't many movies that can make your ribs hurt from laughing, and it takes a certain subtlety in the comedy to push you over the edge into hysterics, but that is exactly what you have in Dumb and Dumber. There were some parts that I had to rewind and watch again half a dozen times just to salvage the subtlety of Carrey's hilarious delivery. Carrey is certainly the focal point of the movie. The plot and his character's side-kick are really just props that Carrey uses to bring about painful laughter in anyone watching, (and I'm sure he is responsible for thousands of people choking on their drink whilst watching this movie). Carrey's partner in comedy is Jeff Daniels, and he matches Carry nearly scene for scene. The two together are fantastically funny. There are too many scenes to mention where they had me bend over laughing. The jokes come about every second minute, so if one does not get your funny bone, another zinger is on its way. There is so much to laugh at in this movie that your stomach muscles will get a good workout! Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
