DUMB AND DUMBER
The movie, as the title suggests, is about two completely stupid guys, Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunn, who decide to drive all the way from Providence, Rhode Island to Aspen, Colorado, to return a briefcase left in the airport by Mary Swanson, Lloyd's instantaneous love crush. The briefcase happens to contain a small fortune in ransom money, to be exchanged for Mary’s husband. So, when Lloyd (unknowingly) snatches it from under the kidnappers noses, they become... lets say... just a little upset.
So much for the plot. The fact is that the briefcase story is simply an excuse for allowing Carrey and Daniels to deliver some of the funniest moments in recent movie history.
"Dumb And Dumber" is an example of how little it takes to make a good comedy, when in the presence of exceptional actors. Carrey and Daniels function perfectly as a duo and what makes this particular dumb movie different from others, is its stars "savoir faire" (we could also call it perfectionism, comedic flair, or a combination of all this plus a lot of hard work). This is something that unfortunately failed to reach several movie critics cognizance, more concerned with how much Carrey was contributing to the dumbing down of America and the end of the World as we know it.
Barely anyone out there could sit though this movie without ending up in stitches. Spread the joy and be both dumb and dumber with the hilarious t-shirt celebrating the genius of Dumb & Dumber!
