Purely Genius In Its Pure Stupidity

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2019)

Harry and Lloyd of "Dumb and Dumber" are two now-iconic characters so inane, they're unaware of the gravities of their own surroundings. They're also brilliant character sketches, and for those exact same reasons.
If you let go of your self-perceived intelligence long enough to give in to this film's wonderfully moronic gag-drivenness, you'll find "Dumb and Dumber" to be one of the great side-splitters from this era's brand of specific comedy. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels create a duo of imbeciles whose thick-headedness saves them from the same predicaments it also got them into. And it takes pure genius to conceive of something that stupid.
At it heart, "Dumb and Dumber" is a classic buddy film, and a comedy pairing for the ages. - WATCHED IT? THEN WATCHLIST: "Airplane! (1980), "Stadium Anthems (2018)," "Blazing Saddles (1974)."
