...the vid in question – Dumb and Dumber, Cert. 12, 102 minutes, 1994.
It stars Jim Carrey, looking even uglier than usual, with a goddamn-awful basin-bowl haircut and a crooked tooth. Add to the concoction a scruffy-looking Jeff Daniels, who badly needed a kind donation of a hairbrush, preferably one of those steel comb types you use on long-haired cats. Still, at least he’s vaguely appealing, in a dumb animal kind of way. Then the lead ... ...dark red lipstick, well-behaved red hair in a sculptured bob and a figure to die for. The basic plot is that Lloyd (Carrey) is a chauffeur, who – on this particular day - drives a beautiful woman, Mary (Holly) to the airport. She leaves her briefcase in the airport terminal, apparently unwittingly, then departs for Aspen, Colorado. Lloyd sees this incident, believes she left the briefcase by mistake and takes it upon himself to return it to ...

I Got Worms Review ofDumb And Dumber DVDby
mynameisrui
Advantages: Hilarious film, great acting Disadvantages: Not everyones type of fim
...from the opening scene in Dumb and Dumber you get a good impression about what kind of film this is. It isn't one of those intelligent comedy films or one of those films that actually has much of a plot, its pure silliness all the way through and that's why I love it!
Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and his roommate and best friend Harry Dunn (Jeff Daniels) play two men who don't have a lot of money and barely have a brain cell between them. Carrey ... ...dog grooming service (which he runs out of his van which has been done up to look like a shaggy dog). Neither make much money and because of that their apartment isn't much to look at. At the start of the film, Carrey has to drive a woman to the airport (Lauren Holly) and instantly falls in love with her. After he drops her off at the airport he watches her walk through the terminal but leave her briefcase on the floor. Carrey sees that she forgets ...

G'DAY MATE Review ofDumb And Dumber DVDby
Pete_Richards
When I first saw this, I found it very funny, second time, again, very funny, third time, funny as ever, fourth time, still laughing, see a pattern? It just doesn't get old. I watched this three times in one day one time, and enjoyed every last bit equally each time. I don't know it is about this film, I guess people could watch a film again after only just watching, because of one brief clip that made them laugh, But for me, EVERY bit makes me laugh, ... ...film of all time. Also, it stars my one of my favourite actors, Jim Carrey, who has starred in some other personal favourites of mine (Liar Liar, Cableguy, etc). Given the choice of the latest teen comedy, horror flick, or anything else, against this, this would undoubtedly win, hands down. This is the kind of film you would watch with a friend on a friday night, and watch and experience the toilet humour and classic lines, while downing a beer (Well, ...

Advantages: Some very funny scenes Disadvantages: Dosent seem so good second time round
Dumb & dumber is one of those comedies which you’ll either love or hate. I personally loved it, the first time round that is! I have now watched it a second time, some parts had me literally crying with laughter, but others that did the first time round, didn’t. Maybe I’ve just grown up now and don’t find the same things funny anymore. It was still a good watch though.
The film is set around 2 silly guys who live together, ... ...well together on this film.
What more can I say about the movie apart from go and watch it! To take a quote from the back of the video – ‘Ace Ventura was stupid, The Mask was clever, Dumb & Dumber is utter madness….Bladder explodingly funny’ – Its true! ...

Advantages: A lot of laughs Disadvantages: Only for certain tastes
...is a close call.
Dumb & Dumber is available in most shops in the budget DVD and video sections and for the reduced price I would say it is an essential purchase if you like this kind of humour. Although if you prefer your humour a bit more sophisticated then give this a wide berth. That is perhaps the best thing about the movie, from the name and the packaging you know exactly what you are getting. ...

...One of the funniest films. This is a great dvd. Its funny, has a good story line and is suitable for most families. This unrated version of the film has over 6 extra minutes added to the film, also deleted scenes, alternate endings,interviews with the stars, and trailers of when the film first came out.
The film is about two friends who take a trip to Aspen to return a briefcase to a lady who left it at an airport. Along the way they run into trouble. Lloyd is in love with the lady, but soon harry falls for her as well. It is a great light hearted film, and portrays two best friends going on an adventure. With two thugs after them for the briefcase their friendship is tested. It really is a fun film for all to watch....

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Waste Of Time & Money
...the first movie is a Jim Carrey look-a-like.
I have to admit that I almost fell asleep throughout the film. It wasn't just me, half of the cinema did slept.
The movie wasted my time and luckily I did not had to pay for the ticket.
If you are a fan of Dumb and Dumber, you might want to watch it but it is not worth your time and money.
If you are looking for a comedy to watch, please consider other better ones like Scary Movie, Sister Act and Spy Hard.
As a conclusion, this movie is rubbish and a waste of time. I did not enjoyed it and I don't think you will too.
I hope this helps!...

Review: "...Carrey turns his face and body into a special effect....I defy anyone not to erupt into giggles..." (Entertainment Weekly, p.34, 13/01/1995)
"...[Daniels's] hangdog goofiness makes a perfect foil for [Carrey's] spasmodically edgy comic style....DUMB AND DUMBER knows much better than to try to make sense..." (New York Times, p.C10, 16/12/1994)
