“So I asked her, ‘Do you love me?’ and she said, ‘No, but that’s a great ski mask!’” This is just one of the many examples of silliness that I could pull from this movie. While countless prudes believe that this film is among the lowest of the low when it comes to forms of comedy, Dumb and Dumber is anything but. It’s one part farce, one-part buddy road trip comedy, and even part mystery.
Harry and Lloyd, two bumbling idiots stumble upon a briefcase full of money and are trying to return it to the owner. Unbeknownst to them, they are now the subject of a manhunt by both the Feds and the mob. What ensues is sheer hilarity, as they trek across the country meeting many colorful characters along the way.
There’s all kinds of humor, from the crude to the witty, along with references to and spoofs of other films. More than just a cult classic, Dumb and Dumber is borderline historic. If you were alive in the 90s, you’ve heard of Dumb and Dumber. It’s impossible to escape it. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels turn out to be a well balanced duo waiting to fill you to the brim with laughs.
Unless you’re a prude, there’s no reason not to see it.
