If you want to laugh....watch this film?

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2009)

I just watched this on DVD after a few years and it still delivers in spades! I was watching it at 3:00 a.m. and I had to laugh into a towel so I wouldn't wake up the people in my Apt. building. To those who don't find it funny, I understand. If you don't like certain actors or comedians, you can't enjoy any film they're in. For me it's Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and David Spade. I won't even watch their films. That said, I think Dumb & Dumber is one of the funniest, laugh-out- loud movies of all time! Yet it wasn't even recognized by the AFI on their ludicrous List of 100 Greatest Comedies. They listed Laurel & Hardy at #99. What a bunch of snobs! Getting back to D&D, Jim Carrey is at his best. Jeff Daniels actually keeps pace with the frenetic Mr. Carrey. He wondered if this would be a bad career move. This performance compared with his previous role in "Gettysburg" just shows his range as an actor. They're on opposite ends of the spectrum and both are equally great in their genres. I'll admit that a few of the "gross out" jokes are a bit much, but all in all this movie is hilarious! Yes, it's stupid and dumb but what do you want in a comedy...Shakespeare? I highly recommend this film to anyone with a great sense of humor.
