Dumb and Dumber plot

"What the one doesn't have, the other is missing."

Harry (Daniels) and Lloyd (Carrey) are two unbelievably stupid dorks who have a hard time keeping a job. When Lloyd takes Mary Swanson to the airport during his short career as a limo driver, he sees that she has forgotten her briefcase and decides to bring it to her. Unbeknownst to him, Mary had deliberately left the briefcase for a couple of kidnappers, who go after Lloyd, assuming he is a devious criminal who has stolen the money right in front of them. Unaware of the kidnappers who are after them and want to kill them, Harry and Lloyd set out on a journey to Aspen in search of Mary.

Extremely funny road movie that provides a constant supply of hilarious humor. Anything but subtle, distinguished or complex in nature and the fact that the story is told from the point of view of the two mentally limited monkeys does little to change this. The joke density is insanely high in this crazy comedy. Whether it's linked to a particular situation, includes a ridiculous comment, or is simply due to the wacky faces of Carrey and Daniels, I couldn't stop crying. I'm lucky that I'm not very demanding in this area, because in general it is very cheap antics. All credit really goes out to the two main actors and the jokers who wrote the script, without whose input this would have been a miserable failure. The highlight has to be the conversation in the bar between Carrey and that FBI agent.

Jim Carrey was one of my favorite actors in my elementary school years. Although I couldn't follow all the details in a movie, Carrey's crazy faces were often enough to make me laugh. Dumb & Dumber was of course one of the films that was played to pieces, bizarre actually that three of Carrey's most famous and best films come from the same year. I think it's been fifteen years since I've seen this one.

After the review, I have to say that the film is still above the average comedy. Jim Carrey is no longer a favorite, in fact, I can occasionally get annoyed by his traits and overacting, which makes a lot of humor miss the mark. Fortunately, Jeff Daniels is a successful side-kick who also behaves like an idiot, but who gives enough resistance that not everything revolves around Carrey. In addition, the supporting roles are also fine, and I secretly liked Lauren Holly a lot. She seems to have done a lot for film and TV, but I can't remember anything.

It's also the first time that I get the full story, and that's not bad in itself. I especially like the fact that until the end of the film it remains a secret that the dark girl is an undercover cop. But the film mainly has a large number of striking scenes. Scenes with the toilet bowl, ski lift, alcohol control, Sea Bass and the gag scene are well known to the general public. What also strikes me is that the film is bursting with nice music that makes many scenes a lot more enjoyable.

Symbiosis and balance, those are the two words that come to my mind after watching this movie for the 35th time. Today I am an adult, I used to laugh out loud at this film when I was 15. And this film still manages to touch me, as far as I'm concerned it is a pioneering film, but I only realize that after so many years. Road movie, poking fun at reality or even limitations, nice soundtrack, main characters that are very well balanced in relation to the story. Unique film, it is a simple comedy, but also a story of two friends who have no idea what is happening around each other, but try to get the best out of it. And eventually the next day starts and it doesn't matter at all. Genius and unique.
