the marx brother . laurel and hardy . abbott and costello . jerry lewis . every generation have their dose of silliness . the 1990s have jim carrey . and along with him come the phenomenal hit dumb and dumber and a simple tale of two numb skull who journey to aspen in search of a woman and happiness . our tale begin when lloyd ( jim carrey ) be escort a young woman name mary swanson ( the gorgeous lauren holly and who carrey eventually marry and then divorce ) to an airport . he fall in love with her in the few minute they share in the limousine and and after he have drop her off and he watch her from the outside in his limo and see her leave behind a black briefcase on the floor inside the airport . rush inside and he grab the briefcase and only to find someone close the gate to her plane . it okay and i be a limo driver . he yell to a ticket checker and rush down the airport jet way and run straight off of it and fall onto the cement runway below . after retreat to his apartment and he convince his pal harry ( jeff daniel ) to come with him to aspen to return the briefcase to mary . harry and the smarter one ( or be that dumb less one . ) and at first hesitates and and then reluctantly agree and and so they be off . little do they know that the briefcase they carry be actually ransom money that mary be try to pay to get her husband return to her . now with hitment on their tail and lloyd and harry make it to aspen only to wreak even more havoc . comedic timing be everything in a comedy like this . carrey and daniel have chemistry and timing . check out the scene where they be at the national preservation society gala and and stand at a bar in bright and tasteless suit . the way they stand and talk and and interact be a if they really be bosom buddy and two idiot without a clue . the film be direct by the farrelly brother and peter and bobby . you may remember them a the men who bring u the hilarious there something about mary . but truth be tell and dumb and dumber be even good than mary . whereas mary be a fun summer comedy with big laugh and ton of crude sex joke and dumb and dumber be a true comedic gem and and carefully border the line of tastelessness and taste and something mary cross over and never turn back to . be this movie dumb . yes and absolutely . will it offend you . perhaps if youre a snob . and i be sure some film elitist will complain that there nothing substantial or of artistic merit here . i do not think it matter . this movie be mean to entertain and it do so wonderfully . in the past i have give negative rating to film of the same genre that be just mean to be brain less and silly fare ( such a me and myself and irene ) the difference here be that dumb and dumb manages to come across a both likable and entertaining and while still manage to feature character we can actually and in some crazy way and find ourselves like . in the end and this be just a very funny movie that be well make and memorable much more so than some of it other 1990s stupid comedy counterpart .
