good cast makes the most of the silly material

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2002)

Blatantly stupid but broadly funny comedy that "dumbs down" the buddy genre. Carrey and Daniels star as two naïve dimwits who go on a cross-country road trip carrying a briefcase full of cash, totally ignorant of the fact that they've plunged themselves headfirst into a kidnapping scheme. For the most part this film is nothing more than a juvenile exercise in gross-out gags and toilet humor, but the cast is so enthusiastic and so infectiously likable that you almost have to laugh and enjoy this silly little ride. Carrey and Daniels are perfectly cast as two witless morons who just can't seem to get a clue. **½
