Delivering exactly what its title promises, this celebration of stupidity was Jim Carrey's 1994 follow-up to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask. The film pairs the rubber- faced wacky man with Jeff Daniels as the not-so-dynamic duo of Lloyd and Harry, dunderheads who come into the possession of a briefcase containing ransom money that is intended for Mob-connected kidnappers. Lauren Holly costars as the woman who lost the briefcase, and with whom Carrey falls in love (both in real life and as his moronic on-screen character). As Lloyd and Harry make a mad dash to return the briefcase (never aware of its contents), the bumbling buddies attract Mobsters, cops, and trouble galore. This lowbrow laugh-a-thon scores some solid hits for hilarity, but with gags involving ill-fated parakeets, buxom bimbos, and an overdose of laxatives, be prepared to put your brain--and good taste--on hold. --Jeff Shannon

Speedy and Up To Par:
Dumb and Dumber arrived within four days. It is in prime condition and exactly as specified. Excellent!
i like it a lot:

Even now I'm having to pause because I'm remembering him screaming in frustration "our pets' heads are falling off!" Jeff Daniels is pretty funny too. Great movie when you don't want heavy and thought-provoking, just dumb and funny.
UNRATED?? Nope, it's cut ! Scene missing !:
4 stars because this is a great movie. I watched it first in 1994 when I was 19 and now with my kids, 14 years later. Jeff Daniels, back then a rather serious actor, delivers a brilliant performance. Carrey is a mastermind as usual. There are so many improvs that are not in the script. Don't listen to others. This movie was a gem back then and still is. The Farrelly Brothers are genuisses. BUT only 4 stars because this so-called "unrated version" is missing a scene. A scene that has been removed! It's... more info
Even two idiots can deliver a briefcase across America when they put half their brains together!:
Imagine the two dumbest people you've ever met. Now imagine those two in charge of returning your lost luggage. Wow, what a feat it would be if you ever received your luggage back. This film shows that even two idiots can deliver a briefcase across America when they put half their brains together. One of the underlying themes is that this is a love story, plain and simple. It's what really drives Carrey, and Daniels across country to deliver the goods. Most of today's pure comedies tend to have a cast that... more info
