Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

... View MoreI absolutely love this movie! There's pretty much nothing I can complain about. The humor's sharp, hilarious and just plain stupid! I love how Jim Carrey's character is just so hilariously stupid and how he makes such dumb decisions! This is one of the most enjoyable comedies I've ever seen, and for me it passes National Lampoon's Vacation by far by just being hysterically dumb and having lots of fun expressions!Jim Carrey's character in the movie is enough to make you love it on its own, and adding a great script and laugh out loud jokes, its comedy gold! 10\10. This movie is just amazing. It's got almost nothing that I can truly hate about it. Entirely reccommend it!
... View MoreHoping to return an abandoned briefcase to a beautiful woman he drove to the airport, a limousine driver takes his best friend on a cross country trip, unaware that he is being pursued by angry kidnappers in this comedy starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. As per the title, the running gag is that the friends are incredibly stupid - and oblivious to the fact that the briefcase contains a hefty ransom. The film gets its best laughs from the kidnappers coming to believe that the pair are highly trained assassins and criminal masterminds; their ignorance towards being pursued is also often funny with the pair leaving a note to the "gas man", which the kidnappers think is written to them and so on. What does not work so well are the simple scenes of the pair acting stupid. From blowing their noses on $100 bills to getting their tongues stuck on cold surfaces, it is all pretty groan-inducing stuff. There is an overabundance of toilet humour too (the cop taking a drink scene is very funny though). Daniels also gets far better laughs than Carrey. The way Daniels manages to keep a straight face while saying things like his pet bird's "head fell off" is far more amusing than Carrey's excessive mugging. Thorns and all though, this is entertaining stuff while it lasts. The gags may vary in effectiveness but the leads are always vibrant and full of energy with a very genuine chemistry between them.
... View MoreThe cross-country adventures of two good-hearted but incredibly stupid friends. Dumb and Dumber alongside The Mask is easily 2 of Jim Carrey's funniest movie roles too bad that he can't recreate that amazing sense of humor now too anyways moving on what makes this film so iconic? For example lines like this: We got no food, we got no jobs... our PETS' HEADS ARE FALLING OFF! or moments like Jeff Daniels face in the bathroom or that cop drinking pee and start going nuts from the taste of it but it was also made on the 90's back when movies were iconic and original now we get remakes and sequels that suck and although i didn't mind the sequel this one will always remain my number one Dumb & Dumber movie!!
... View MoreI went and saw this at the movies when it came out and I mean the jam packed theaters was laughing from beginning until the end! People were laughing so hard they were crying. If you don't like the somewhat corny Comedies it may not be your favorite but even so you will be in for a funny ride. Still one of the All Time Best All Time Comedies. A Must See! Jim Carrey does things that no actor in the world can do and Jeff Daniels is a perfect supporting actor. If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it without hesitation! Jim Carrey at his best and this surprisingly hilarious Comedy is a movie you'll be hard pressed to find another Comedy like this Gem. Have watched it 50 times and still can't stop laughing!
