This and SCARY MOVIE are two of the funniest films ever made!

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2002)

Whatever happened during the making of this film has been captured for all time within its images - the thing just gets funnier however many times you watch it - even if you can recite the entire flick in sync with the actors. Some years ago two of my daughters then 11 and 15, put together without prompting, the entire scene in the restaurant when Lloyd dupes Sea Bass into paying for their meals. Their performance was as good as Carrey's and Daniels. I mention this to show the influence this film has had on kids even that age.
With the passage of time and fifty or sixty viewings, even the crude edges have worn away, leaving a dearly loved film and a comedy I can't see anyone ever topping. It wasn't just funny in places but simply right the way through it. When I saw the original karate sequence when Carrey is wining and dining Lauren Holly, I cracked up in the theater like I have never done before or since..and it takes a lot for me to lose it!
Jeff Daniels, you realise more-so after multiple viewings, has contributed equally to the film in a role totally alien to him, yet the two of them are simply brilliant together. Add to this one of the best soundtracks backing up any film I can recall and you have a grade A winner.
If you don't find this funny, you have no sense of unrestrained humor and I would suggest an immediate cat-scan!
