it's just funny, that's all that matters

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2004)

Dumb and Dumber is just one of those funny movies that doesn't require you to think much. That's not to say only the simple-minded will find this entertaining. It's just a picture about two ridiculously dumb guys that gets its comedy from their stupidity. Some people may consider that sophmoric but in this case for the most part it is very well written, and is executed beautifully by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, the ONLY 2 who could have done it that way (not a smart move making a sequel/prequel with 2 completely different and unknown actors). The jokes are consistant throughout the entire movie and the events all fall into place nicely, and the plot for the movie was original. It's a comedy, and as long as it's funny, it's done it's job and this movie doesn't have to go to ridiculous lengths or screw up the plot as an excuse to get laughs, it just does it easily and smoothly.
In my opinion this is one of Jim Carrey's best comedys and Jeff Daniels does a great job as well. I understand some people prefer more sophisticated or intelligent comedys or just more advanced ones and I respect that, but if you're just looking for a good funny movie that you can just chill and laugh to, you can't go wrong with this true comedy.
