When Jim Carrey Was The King Of Comedy

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2017)

To be honest, I don't exactly know how to review a film like "Dumb and Dumber", but suffice it to say that the entire film rests on the shoulders of one man: Jim Carrey.
Though so many crazy things happen over the course of this movie, the basic plot has two friends, Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Carrey), driving across the country to return a "lost" briefcase to a woman they met at an airport. While on first viewing you will appreciate the wild and wacky antics that Harry and Lloyd get themselves into (and everyone has their favorites, such as the bathroom scene, Seabass, or Big Gulps), upon multiple viewings you will realize that the true genius of the film is in the subtleties of Jim Carrey's magnificent acting.
Though Daniels provides a great "straight man" that the film sorely needed, Carrey really steals the show with his physical comedy and facial expressions. In nearly EVERY SCENE, one could laugh themselves silly just watching the facial expressions (the whiz in the bottle scene) and body motions ("I'll hang by the bar...and put out the vibe!") of Carrey. Basically, Carrey took the intense, prat-falling stage show he was know for around the comedy circuits, toned it down a bit, and created the most hilarious character ever depicted on film.
Of course, what really makes "Dumb and Dumber" stand the test of time is the "watchability" factor. There are few movies that will make me drop pretty much anything I am doing and watch them, but this film is EXACTLY that. It could be on every night of the week (and darn near sometimes is on TBS!) and I would still laugh just as hard at the same old jokes and scenarios!
Suffice it to say that after viewing this hilarious film, you "will like it ahh-lott". If not, you're pretty much just "one pathetic loser...no offense".
