Dumb and Dumber Storyline

Lloyd Christmas is a limo driver who’s a few beers short of a six pack. His equally clueless roommate Harry Dunn is an operator for a mobile pet grooming service called “Mutt Cutts”. One day Lloyd is assigned to pick up a wealthy customer for a ride to the airport. He believes this customer – named Mary Swanson – is the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. Little does Lloyd know that Mary is the victim of an elaborate kidnapping and extortion plot, and that the trip to the airport was supposed to be the payoff to release her kidnapped husband. Lloyd grabs the briefcase and that sets off a chain of events that see him and Harry going to Aspen, Colorado hell bent on delivering the briefcase to Mary. But along the way, they meet nearly every seedy and shady character involved in the conspiracy. But Lloyd doesn’t know that the briefcase he’s set on delivering to Mary contains nearly $5 million in cash. And his friendship with Harry is tested at every stop along the way, will they make it to Aspen and live the high life? Or face the wrath of the kidnappers and the FBI?

Dumb and Dumber Movie Reviews

Gross, quirky and weird

Now how does that sound? And I may not even have gotten all of the “bad” things one can say about this movie. But it is also hillarious and super funny! Which is a testament to the two main actors, who are actually anything close to not being intelligent! And both relish in their roles respectively. The sequel that came years later (the official one, not the prequel one) was funny too, but showed that you can’t catch lightning in a bottle. I think that’s the saying, right? Maybe not, but whatever the case is, this is a classic.

Of course as with all comedies it is in the eye of the beholder. Some things here can be seen as annoying or unfunny (as the bird joke shows, which also is quite mean to say the least). I rewatched this recently and it holds up, if you let it just work its magic. Don’t think too much, just enjoy the many memorable scenes and some of the quotes … and how the movie perfectly ends … the way it kind of began

I laughed, I cried, and I think my IQ dropped. I love this movie!

The Marx Brothers. Laurel and Hardy. Abbott and Costello. Jerry Lewis. Every generation has their dose of silliness. The 1990s had Jim Carrey. And along with him came the phenomenal hit “Dumb and Dumber,” a simple tale of two numb skulls who journey to Aspen in search of a woman and happiness.

Our tale begins when Lloyd (Jim Carrey) is escorting a young woman named Mary Swanson (the gorgeous Lauren Holly, who Carrey eventually married and then divorced) to an airport. He falls in love with her in the few minutes they share in the limousine, and after he has dropped her off, he watches her from the outside in his limo and sees her leave behind a black briefcase on the floor inside the airport. Rushing inside, he grabs the briefcase, only to find someone closing the gate to her plane. “It’s okay, I’m a limo driver!” he yells to a ticket checker, rushing down the airport jet way and running straight off of it, falling onto the cement runway below.

After retreating to his apartment, he convinces his pal Harry (Jeff Daniels) to come with him to Aspen to return the briefcase to Mary. Harry, the smarter one (or is that dumb-less one?), at first hesitates, and then reluctantly agrees, and so they are off. Little do they know that the briefcase they carry is actually ransom money that Mary was trying to pay to get her husband returned to her. Now with hitment on their tail, Lloyd and Harry make it to Aspen only to wreak even more havoc.

Comedic timing is everything in a comedy like this. Carrey and Daniels have chemistry and timing. Check out the scene where they are at the National Preservation Society Gala, and stand at a bar in bright, tasteless suits. The way they stand, talk, and interact is as if they really are bosom-buddies, two idiots without a clue.

The film is directed by The Farrelly Brothers, Peter and Bobby. You may remember them as the men who brought us the hilarious “There’s Something About Mary.” But truth be told, “Dumb and Dumber” is even better than “Mary.” Whereas “Mary” was a fun summer comedy with big laughs and tons of crude sex jokes, “Dumb and Dumber” is a true comedic gem, and carefully borders the line of tastelessness and taste, something “Mary” crosses over and never turns back to.

Is this movie “dumb”? Yes, absolutely. Will it offend you? Perhaps if you’re a snob. And I’m sure some film elitists will complain that there’s nothing substantial or of artistic merit here.

I don’t think it matters. This movie is meant to entertain and it does so wonderfully. In the past I’ve given negative ratings to films of the same genre that are just meant to be brain-less, silly fare (such as “Me, Myself & Irene”) – the difference here is that “Dumb and Dumber” manages to come across as both likable and entertaining, while still managing to feature characters we can actually, in some crazy way, find ourselves liking.

In the end, this is just a very funny movie that is well-made and memorable – much more so than some of its other 1990s “stupid-comedy” counterparts.

Incredibly stupid and crude…but also, at times, pretty funny.

“Dumb and Dumber” is a film that was fabulously successful. Although it cost $17,000,000, it ended up grossing $247,000,000!! Talk about a huge payoff for the Farrelly Brothers!

The story is about Lloyd and Harold (Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels)–two complete idiots who are roommates. When a passenger in Lloyd’s limo leaves a briefcase behind, he vows to return it to her. There are two huge problems with this. First, this occurred in Rhode Island and she now is in Aspen! Second, although Lloyd thought she left it by accident, it was ransom money…and now he and Harold have it and mobsters are after them!

Much of the humor was stupid–the sort of stuff middle school kids would love. However, I must admit that although much of the humor was awful, sometime is still made me laugh. Plus, the film ended well. So, I do recommend it BUT must point out that it is NOT for anyone wanting cleverness. Nope…crude humor, bad jokes and embarrassing moments…that’s what you’ll find and you, too, might laugh a bit like I did.

By the way, for the love of God, do NOT watch the sequel “Dumb and Dumberer”. None of the original writers, directors or actors are in it and it is a total bomb….and currently is on IMDB’s notorious Bottom 100 list.
