Fun and disconcerting film with slapstick humor and extremely hilarious situations
11 July 2021
An amusing and entertaining film about two odd and moronic guys . The picture narrates the various pranks , mayhem, mischiefs , frolics and lots of mugging carried out by the outlandish couple . This one will definitively not appeal to the stuffy critic or arthouse snob. An offbeat story of sex-minded people , dealing with brainless youthful and made with total craziness. The movie talks upon the adventures and misfortunes of two no-brain , quirk youngsters , Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carrey) . They are idiot pals who are continuously doing jokes and seeing lustfully by the opposite sex . Both of whom travel in a strange Sheep dog Van from Rhode Island to Aspen , Colorado to return a briefcase full of cash to gorgeous socialite (Lauren Holly) . Along the way they attempt to solve problems without success . The average person uses 10% of their brain capacity. Imagine what he could do with 1%. What the one doesn't have, the other is missing. If they each had half a brain, together they would still only have half a brain. For Harry and Lloyd every day is a no-brainer.

This funny film mingles irony , chuckles , giggles , dirty comedy , numerous sex jokes all sorts of gross-out humor and bodily function . And of course , there's very bad taste , being the extreme when happen the incrediblely embarrassing scenes on the crap in the bathroom . It will provide full of laughters , nevertheless ridiculously rendered , for everyone else . Jim Carrey mugs shamelessly and Daniels proves a convincing dimwit sidekick . The comedy is cheesy and gross-out but has some nice moments here and there . The film is an embarrassing and absurd mess , the plot is ridiculous and silly , being formed by several humor set pieces , though quite a few absurd and disagreeable , at times . There are some steamy hot scenes and some memorable and hilarious happenings of dirty humor which will rejoice the rogue aficionados to these kinds of things . Neither the players , nor the filmmaking seem to be extraordinary, and the storyline is utterly non-sense , but , curiously , it has some amusing moments and I found myself laughing in some times of the movie . The film benefits itself from two sympathetic starring : Jim Carrey , Jeff Daniels who are great comedy actors . Along with a pretty good secondary cast , such as : Teri Garr, Mike Starr , Karen Duffy , Charles Rocket , Harland Williams , Felton Perry , Lin Shaye . The motion picture was professionally directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, though it has several flaws , gaps and bad taste . Occasional ¨Seinfeld¨ writers Peter and Bobby Farrely make their directorial debut . Following a long string of hits , such as : Kingpin , The Heartbreak Kid , Shallow Hal , Osmosis Jones , Me, Myself and Irene , Green Book , among others.

Followed by a below average prequel regarding their adolescence , an awful turkey , bottom of barrel movie titled ¨Dumb and dumber : When Harry met Lloyd¨2003 , made without solvency dealing with the beginning their acquaintance , starred by Eric Christian Olsen, Derek Richardson , and their parents : Mimi Rogers and Luis Guzman , in addition , Rachel Nichols , Eugene Levy , William Lee Scott , Shia Labeouf and Lin Shaye was the only cast member to star in both the original Dumb and Dumber . Furthermore , ¨Dumb and Dumber To (original title) 2014 with Jim Carrey , Jeff Daniels , Laurie Holden , Rachel Melvin , Kathleen Turner , Bill Murray.
