6.2 Average??? Is that dumb or dumber?

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 1999)

'kay stupid joke, I know, but really a 6.2 average? That's a grade a Robin Williams or Steve Martin 'comedy' deserve! (a 2.6 would be even more appropriate I guess....). Well, I guess it's you love it or you hate it, with the Farrely brothers, because the ratings are quite polarized (lotsa 10's and lotsa 1's). And I love it, of course. Jim Carrey can be over the top sometimes (eg Ace Ventura 2), but he's just excellent in Dumb & Dumber. Favorite parts: the 'sweater' scene, when Lloyd's fantasizing about him and Mary, where he's telling this lame joke and *everyone* is laughing and having fun...and the cop bit. And I don't mean the urine-drinking part, but the dialogue just before it:
Cop, driving a motorcycle (yelling): "Pull over!"
Harry, driving in a van: "Thanks for noticing, but it's a cardigan!"
