I usually like this kind of super stupid comedies and a very dumb character always provides a good time of fun. A couple of them is even better, I thought... But that didn't happened with this film. Many praise this as a classic comedy, very funny but my laughs were actually very few.

Jim Carrey's overacting does not always works for me and unfortunately this was one of those times. There are very few films that I like with him and they are not this kind of dumb comedies that he usually does. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Man on the Moon or The Truman Show are good examples where he can do his overacting thing without being too annoying or too stupid.

Jeff Daniels on the other hand was good. He was the only one who provided me some good laughs, I guess the only times that I laughed in this film were because of some of his actions and lines.

Overall, I can't say that I had a great time watching it but I can't say it was terrible too. I really wanted to like Dumb & Dumber more but for me it was just average. Also my "thing" with Jim Carrey does not always work.

The classic saga of two brain-dead numbskulls who undertake a cross country trek to return a "lost" ransom briefcase, having mindlessly intercepted it at the drop-off. En route, they blow through sleazy motels and truck stop bathrooms, swapping rides and crossing wires with all manner of similarly dim-witted, off-color characters.

Ah man, it's such a Farrelly Brothers movie. Thick-headed humor, as easy and superficial as it comes, with an unrelenting time capsule for a soundtrack and a pair of lead performances so good they lift the whole mess into something that almost transcends mere stupidity. Almost. No two ways about it: this is the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels show, start to finish. Who else could ad-lib "the most annoying sound in the world" into something that's still so funny after thirty years? I certainly can't imagine another duo pulling off those famously terrible peach-and-baby-blue tuxes. The whole film seems to exist as a vehicle for whatever the stars felt like doing or saying that day, with said Farrelly siblings more than happy to let the cameras roll, and we're all the richer for it. Even the throwaway quips are solid gold. Carrey was in the midst of an early career apex at the time, with _Ace Ventura_ and _The Mask_ having already topped the box office that same year, but Daniels is, unexpectedly, there with him every step of the way. It's a showcase of impressively loose, laugh-out-loud physical comedy from a guy who wasn't (and still isn't) known for that type of work.

A not-insignificant number of jokes have curdled over time (wow, I did not remember so much homophobia) and there's no escaping the numbing, jaw-dropping idiocy of it all, but the key scenes still stand tall, the sheer force of personality is strong and there's no denying the amount of fun everyone was obviously having on-set. Sometimes it's okay to be big, loud and dumb, especially with a title like that. Call it truth in advertising.

Very funny. Not just silly. I often cite this film as my favourite all time film. It took me time to watch it for the first time as it looked like a number of other films which are silly and claim to be hilarious but usually miss the point. This film nails it. The comedy is constant and is cleverly done with situations fitting nicely into the storyline which acts as the perfect vehicle for the perfect delivery of an amazing script. The Carrelly brothers other films are good too but usually have something uncomfortable in. Dumb and Dumber is their masterpiece. I can imagine them finishing it, then going over the script asking, "what else can we add to this joke to make it funnier?" A very difficult film to beat in comedy. I'm going to watch it again now.

These guys are the very meaning of dumb. They don't get any dumber then this. Even though there pretty dumb they still were smarter then the bad guys, just because their dumb!
