Reviews of the movie: Dumb and Dumber

The movie, as the title suggests, is about two completely stupid guys, Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunn (Jeff Daniels), who decide to drive all the way from Providence, Rhode Island to Aspen, Colorado (or is it California?), to return a briefcase left in the airport by Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly), Lloyd's instantaneous love crush. The briefcase happens to contain a small fortune in ransom money, to be exchanged for Mary's husband. So, when Lloyd (unknowingly) snatches it from under the kidnappers noses, they become... lets say... just a little upset.

So much for the plot. The fact is that the briefcase story is simply an excuse for allowing Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels to deliver some of the funniest moments in movie history. It is fair to say that Peter Farrelly's direction is efficient in the manner that it doesn't constraint this two-man show of inspired stupidity. On the other hand, in the few scenes where Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are absent, the movie just doesn't exist at all.

The movie has plenty of hilarious sight gags and, without trying to describe them (because the result would be pathetic), I'll proceed to point out a few of my favorites: the scene at the beginning, with Lloyd sticking his head out the window of the limo; that wonderful scene where Lloyd leaves his wallet inside the newspaper stand (the use of Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" to set the timing and mood is genial) and Lloyd's entire dream sequence. It is also curious to refer the moment when Lloyd's despaired lines convince his buddy to drive to Aspen in search of fame, fortune and most important, love. This split second change of tone, is a very interesting hint to all the potential latitude Carrey can bring to a character.

"Dumb And Dumber" is an example of how little it takes to make a good comedy, when in the presence of exceptional actors. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels function perfectly as a duo and what makes this particular dumb movie different from others, is its stars "savoir faire" (we could also call it perfectionism, comedic flair, or a combination of all this plus a lot of hard work). This is something that unfortunately failed to reach several movie critics cognizance, more concerned with how much Jim Carrey was contributing to the dumbing down of America and the end of the World as we know it.

More than likely, with time all the critics hysteria will pass and this movie will be regarded as another genial meaningless comedy, like all the others given for our viewing pleasure by Chaplin, Keaton, The Marx Brothers and Jerry Lewis.
