Jim Carrey's masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 1999)

Before I saw this movie, I regarded Jim Carrey as the most overpaid, overhyped goofball in Hollywood. After I saw this movie, I had very different thoughts about him. He plays his role as a simpleminded, innocent schmuck in his movie to perfection. Plus, he isn't a shouting screeching moron as in the Ace Ventura films or Cable Guy or a "serious" person as in Liar Liar or The Truman Show. Being a huge fan of "older" comedy movies (pre-1990s) a lot of the funny films today just don't compare to the ones of the past but this film is a HUGE exception. With the year 2000 breathing down our necks, I think it's safe for me to give this movie the "Best Comedy Of The 90's" award. On a final note, this movie kinda makes you feel all good inside as well. Think about it: two dumb morons who are plagued by bad luck all throughout their life just say "screw this" and drive across the country to Aspen to give a beautiful girl back her briefcase while encountering many perils along the way. Once in Aspen, the perils and the fortunes just keep piling up. The movie does have a sad ending in a way but hey, they're making a sequel so there's no need to pity Lloyd and Harry too much. Rent this movie right now.
