A Simply Good Comedy

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2019)

Dumb and Dumber is a movie that a lot of people seem to love, but to me, I simply just like it. There are other Jim Carrey movies I prefer, but Dumb and Dumber is one that is funny and has good stuff to offer.
This movie tells the story of two nitwits, Llyod (played by Jim Carrey) and Harry (played by Jeff Daniels), and they are just to wise cracking goons that live their lives how they want to. One day, Llyod was taking a woman, Mary (played by Lauren Holly) to the airport, and she left behind a suitcase full of money. It is now up to Harry and Llyod to travel to Aspen, Colorado to return the suitcase of money to Mary, little do they know the suitcase is connected to a hostage.
The big reason why I don't like this movie as much as everyone else is because I'm not into the immature adult humor. When I was 12 years old, I used to love Beavis & Butt-Head. But as I got older, I grew out of it. This movie is a lot like Beavis & Butt-Head, where two stupid guys cause trouble and make fools out of themselves. However, the immaturity in this movie isn't extreme or over the top. To me, there's more funny and clever moments than immature stuff.
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels did a great job together. They had pretty good dialouge and played off each other really well, and Lauren Holly was great as the love interest of the two bafoons. The story was also pretty good and pacing went fairly fast.
Overall, Dumb & Dumber is a film I don't love, but I do get some enjoyment out of it.
