One of the top-five funniest movies ever!

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2008)

This movie is definitely one of the top-five funniest movies of all time. It's the perfect vehicle for showcasing Jim Carrey's substantial comedic talents, and Jeff Daniels delivers an impressive performance as well. I've seen this movie at least thirty times and it makes me laugh out loud every single time. Yes, the characters are stupid (hence the title), but the comedy is genius.
The dialog and layers of comedic devices render silly visual and verbal jokes into sublime hilarity. This movie is like a treatise on comedy--employing irony, satire, slapstick, scatological humor, puns, mistaken identity, and double entendre. Sometimes they come in rapid succession and sometimes they are used simultaneously. This is why the movie is so re-watchable...you can pick up on new layers of jokes with every viewing.
If you love movies like Old School(2003), The Big Lebowski(1998), There's Something About Mary(1998), This is Spinal Tap(1984), or The Jerk(1979) then you can't help but love Dumb & Dumber!
