One of the greatest comedies ever made

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2009)

This is a film where I watched it and thought of how brilliant the writers had to be to create two such stupid characters. This film stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as two lower class buddies from Rhode Island who just cannot seem to get anything right. One day, Jim Carrey's character meets a beautiful woman(Lauren Holley) while driving her to the airport(he is a chauffeur). Holley leaves a briefcase at the airport and Jim Carrey is determined to get it back to her. He convinces Jeff Daniels to travel with him to Aspen, Colorado, to bring the briefcase back to Holley.
What is terrific about this film is that unlike some other inferior buddy comedies, the two main characters are distinguishable from each other. Jim Carrey is the really "dumb" character, while Daniels plays the more practical "dumb" buddy and something of a straight character. The jokes and slapstick comedy in this film are second to none and what really allows this film to work is the fact that neither of these two guys have any idea how ridiculous their behavior is. This is truly a great comedy and has several real laugh out loud moments.
