Review of Dumb and Dumber (1994) by Alasdair B — 21 Nov 2014

This is one of those comedy films that have zero reasons for why anything that happens in it that are happening, and it really works. "Dumb and Dumber'' in many ways, is a classic comedy film. It may be one of the most quoted films of all time. Everyone has seen it, and everyone has quoted it before. Even people who hate it. It stars Jim Carry and Jeff Daniels.

Harry and Loyd are two friends that live together. They're idiots. They are essentially, two bums who know nothing about how to interact with women. They are losers. One day Loyd (Carry) helps a young women, or so he thinks, by taking her bag she left on purpose at the airport. He finds out where she is going and gets his friend Harry (Daniels) to go with him on a little road trip. Harry converted his van into a dog. They drive a dog van across the country causing mischief, eating red hot peppers, and urinating in beer bottles.

Normally, I'd hate such a dumb film. I love this one. It is the very definition of "so bad it's good.'' Daniels and Carry have perfect chemistry as actors. They absolutely kill it in their roles. They just have this magic about them in their scenes together.

Nothing more can be said. "Dumb and Dumber'' is an incredibly dumb film, yet the magic between its two stars is undeniable. It is genuinely hilarious and easily quotable. It lacks a solid story and plot. It lacks basically everything in every way, but it's just so dumb that even the characters will grow on you. In short, "I liked it allot.''.
