Jim Carrey (The Mask, Liar Liar) and Jeff Daniels (Speed, Fly Away Home) are too lame to live - and too dense to die - as a pair of deliriously dim-witted pals on a cross-country road trip to return a briefcase full of cash to its rightful owner. Along the way they'll confound cops, kidnappers and anyone and everyone who has the misfortune of crossing their paths in this comic caper for every idiot in the family!

Editor's Note
Lowbrow buffoonery hit commercial highs with 1994's DUMB AND DUMBER. When best friends and aspiring pet groomers Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey, in a star-making role) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) get fired, Lloyd convinces Harry to travel to Colorado to search for his dream woman--Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly). Little does Lloyd know that Mary's in Aspen trying to locate her kidnapped husband. Soon the dimwitted pair have gotten mixed up in the crime, and their wacky exploits are leading the FBI straight to the crooks. The Farrelly Brothers are at the peak of their twisted craft with this gut-busting comedy. But between such gross-out gags as Hary's Exlax overdose and Lloyd's deliriously over-the-top dream sequence, it's really the chemistry between Carrey and Daniels--and the charming naivet of these two dunces--that lend the film a disarming sweetness.

"...[Daniels's] hangdog goofiness makes a perfect foil for [Carrey's] spasmodically edgy comic style....DUMB AND DUMBER knows much better than to try to make sense..." 12/16/1994 p.C10Entertainment Weekly
"...Carrey turns his face and body into a special effect....I defy anyone not to erupt into giggles..." 01/13/1995 p.34 Sight and Sound
"...DUMB AND DUMBER revels in a comedy of confusion..." 04/01/1995 p.42 Los Angeles Times
"...Carrey is like a more elasticized Jerry Lewis; he may be the most freakishly cartoonish of all the star comedians..." 12/16/1994 p.F1 James Berardinelli's ReelViews 3 of 10
If you appreciate Carrey, his first movie, or anything featuring Jim Varney's cinematic alter-ego, Dumb and Dumber is likely your sort of experience. Everyone else will either be offended, bored, or both.
San Francisco Chronicle 7 of 10
Lowbrow, politically incorrect and stupid with jut-jawed determination, just about every minute of Dumb and Dumber...is inspired, irreverent, spark-driven comedy that takes you places you never thought a movie would go--even a Jim Carrey movie... This wacky buddy road film...has a brilliant glow of intelligence behind the stupidness. It's easily the funniest movie of the year. - Peter Stack
Time Magazine 6 of 10
The fact is that D and D - in comparison with which Jim Carrey's other pictures look as if they were scripted by Oscar Wilde - makes you laugh out loud for almost its entire running time. - Richard Schickel
Chicago Sun-Times 7 of 10
...there is a moment in Dumb and Dumber that made me laugh so loudly I embarrassed myself. I just couldn't stop... I hasten to add that I did not laugh as loudly again, or very often. It's just as well. If the whole movie had been as funny as that moment, I would have required hospitalization. - Roger Ebert
