What makes this fantasy of anti-social behaviour so painfully funny, is the gulf between etiquette and vulgarity, the desire to be a child whooping it up in the adult world.

You cannot deny a laugh, and Dumb and Dumber has plenty.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 23, 2017

The plot, of course, is merely an excuse for an endless series of gags, and the percentage of them that score is fairly high.

[Featrues] a plethora of memorable scenes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2008

Dumb and Dumber, which features Carrey and Jeff Daniels as nitwits traveling cross-country, is a frayed string of gags posing as a movie. Carrey, though, does literal-minded doofdom with peerless enthusiasm.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 28, 2008

The wholeheartedness of this descent into crude and rude humor is so good-natured and precise that it's hard not to partake in the guilty pleasures of the exercise.

| Apr 28, 2008

This is a long way from the social comedy of Jerry Lewis. The characters here are ultimately turned into punching bags or punch-line dispensers.

| Apr 28, 2008

Given American cinema's current obsession with innocence and ignorance, at least this never romanticises its protagonists. They are genuinely, irredeemably, 100 per cent no-hopers.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 14, 2003

A movie that fully lives up to its name, right down to an opening credit sequence rife with intentional misspellings and grammatical errors.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2003

Inspired, irreverent, spark-driven comedy that takes you places you never thought a movie would go -- even a Jim Carrey movie.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Carrey, I am now convinced, is a true original. In The Mask, he had the screenplay and production to back him up. Here, the filmmaking is more uncertain.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

An execrable catalogue of doody jokes, Dumb and Dumber is an abominable, abdominal comedy.

| Jan 1, 2000

Maybe it's indicative of my end-of-the-year brain-fry, but this dopey comedy about two of the dumbest guys in the universe on a road trip to misadventure is a hoot.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

An uneven collection of bodily function jokes, facial gyrations, sexual jibes and pedestrian slapstick.
