Dumb & Dumber

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.

It isn’t nonstop hilarity&#59; there are quite a few dead spots. But I liked it a lot.

The teaming and the formula are often copied but rarely matched.

...a modern classic of the comedy genre...

From the puns to the slapstick to the toilet, Dumb and Dumber is performed at such a high level that it transcends many of its influences.
