Simple Plot, Good Fun

Rating: 7/10 (9 August 2015)

Especially from the title, going into this movie you have to expect a comedy that isn't smart, but isn't necessarily THAT stupid either. Obviously, a lot of the comedy comes from the two titular characters being dumb, acting like five-year-olds, but this doesn't take away from Carrey and Daniels' integrity - it takes talent to pull these characters off in a way that makes you enjoy yourself.
As for the plot, it's so simple, yet little of the comedy within the movie revolves around the plot, but rather in episodes of Harry and Lloyd's stupidity. Lloyd and Harry lose their jobs, but Lloyd recovers a suitcase which Mary Swanson "left behind" at the airport as she departed for Aspen. It turns out this suitcase holds ransom for her husband, and two hit men follow Lloyd as he and Harry travel to Aspen to recover the ransom, thinking the two of them are masterminds (a big laugh).
To give you an idea about the comedy in this film here are some examples - Lloyd knows "the most annoying sound in the world," Harry has to ask if BOTH skis belong to a woman he meets, a police officer drinks from a beer bottle which Lloyd has urinated in, and the list goes on like that.
If you allow yourself to not expect greatness from this film, you will probably find yourself enjoying it. It is a good comedy that features one of Jim Carrey's best characters to date.
3.0/4.0
