It may be a Carrey vehicle, but he drives it well

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2000)

Jim Carrey doing what Jim Carrey does best - oh and there are some other people in it too.
DUMB & DUMBER is just that - a big solo spot for more antics from the nineties comedy icon. And on this level, the film works beautifully. Carrey is magnificent, and leaves no humour stone unturned. And amongst all the silliness, his infatuation with the gorgeous Lauren Holly remains believable and touching.
However there is one other person in this movie, who one keeps forgetting - Jeff Daniels. Mr Daniels had a hard job keeping up with his co-star, and it didn't really do him any favours. For a lot of the film, I wished he would take on the 'straight man' role which would have made Carrey's performance even funnier. Do the Farrelly brothers not watch Saturday night television??
Overall though, this is a thoroughly enjoyable film, and definitely one of Carrey's finest moments.
