All time great

And it's not nostalgia, because I watched it recently and I still laughed quite a lot, even knowing exactly what was going to happen. And that's because the performances from Carrey and Daniels are impossibly good, lifting a still pretty great script with constant amount of jokes, into a masterpiece. I don't even really like peak Carrey's comedies like "Ace Ventura" or "The Mask", but here, he was reigned in and "unleashed" in enough doses to make the movie better for it and not just his sideshow.
And that's because the script allows it, with incessant jokes and gags, while naturally developing the story at the same time, filling the gaps with scenes with heart that counter balance the darker ones. Because the humor comes from how these two idiots see the world and how poorly they interpret what is happening to them, even situations that mostly help to advance the plot are made in a really hilarious way. Yes there is a plot, even if thin.
One more thing. For a movie from 1994, is quite surprising how it's not that offensive, without recurring to cheap sexist and racist jokes all the time, like the more lazy or inept writers often do (see, Adam Sandler movies).
