Obviously goofy and immature, but very funny for the right audiences

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2007)

The Farrelly brothers (Peter and Bobby Farrelly) have successfully made a career of making crude comedies (often raising controversy with them), but it all started in 1994 with "Dumb & Dumber", a movie of this kind starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. I saw a good chunk of this movie years ago, when it came on TV one time, and can't remember exactly what I thought of it. It wasn't until fairly recently that I first saw the whole thing, and this time, I definitely found a good majority of the gags funny (some of them priceless), enough for me to have no problem watching it again, and once again having some great laughs!
Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne are two very dimwitted individuals who live in Providence, Rhode Island. Lloyd is a taxi driver, and one day, he drives a young woman from Aspen, Colorado named Mary Swanson to the airport, immediately developing a crush on her. As Mary leaves for the flight, Lloyd sees that she has left a suitcase behind. Thinking she left it there accidentally, he attempts to get it back to her before the plane takes off, but is too late. After he and Harry lose their jobs on the same day, he convinces his friend to come on a long road trip to Aspen to return Mary's suitcase to her. However, what these two idiots don't realize is that Mary left that suitcase behind for a reason, and during their trip, they also don't realize that two criminals are following them!
The Farrellys are known to make extremely silly, sick, raunchy movies, filled with toilet humour, slapstick, and sex jokes. "Dumb & Dumber" shows that it was like that from the beginning. The filth in this movie (along with the other movies from the Farrelly brothers) is obviously hated by some people, and those people should definitely avoid this movie at all costs! However, although the kind of humour that comes from the minds of the Farrelly brothers and other demented minds in the comedy business isn't for everyone, some people like it a lot. While "Dumb & Dumber" may not be an absolutely perfect film for those who have a sick sense of humour (like me), and like the kind of crude jokes that the Farrellys love to use, I would say it's well worth a look.
