Immortally the best comedy ever made

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2006)

Dumb and Dumber is, and always shall be, the funniest movie on the face of the earth, and any other planet who's surface it might grace. From the opening credits, with everything misspelled to the riotously ridiculous theme song, "Boomshakalaka", to the final frame of Jim Carrey's and Jeff Daniels's retarded backsides, this movie inspires awe, wonder, and tears of laughter and of the pain from falling out of whatever you might have been sitting in. Nearly every piece of dialog in the entire movie has comedic intent, and it all works. From Lloyd's very first conversation, "My that's a lovely accent, New Jersey?" "Austria" "Austria! Well, good day mate, let's put another shrimp on the barbie!" to the last sentimental yet stupid line of the movie, brilliance unlike anything ever seen before is shown in the writing. Every actor plays their role perfectly. The good guys are unrealistically dumb, but the bad guys are perfect. They're not over the top and they're just bad enough to make us know they're the enemy, but we never get swept up in what they're doing. This movie is all about the 2 man wrecking ball of Harry and Lloyd. I am confident this thing will endure beyond any other movie, and on my dying day of April 4th, 2050, I will watch this movie and laugh my butt off one last time before going to the white light. It's that good. If you have not seen this movie at least 5 times, watch it again for all our sakes, and catch the last 30 jokes you missed in the first four viewings, due to you laughing over them. 10 out of 10
