![]() And the soundtrack is perfect it really sets the tone and never feels out of place. The movie plays out with a high spirit and feel good attitude that can't be matched. They play stupid games in the car to pass the time, and sing aloud to keep from getting bored, and have crazy dreams of one day opening up a worm store. And they are pathetically funny just being themselves. The film wasn't warmly received by a lot of critics, but only because they couldn't lower their snouts long enough to realize that this was not another movie about dumb guys, but really a film about earnest guys. The reactions and facial expressions are perfect. Even when they aren't speaking, their body language alone is enough to elicit huge laughs. No, they played it with a straight face the whole way through, and that's really the best way to do comedy. Dumb and Dumber was not pretentious, the actors never made you feel like they were in on the joke. And let's face it, if we were them, we'd go too. It just so happens that Mary lives all the way across the country, in Aspen, Colorado (or is it California?) Sure its crazy and stupid, but they've got nothing to lose, so they take off in their 84' sheepdog. And Lloyd(Carrey), has fallen madly in love with Mary after driving her to the airport. ![]() They've just lost their jobs, are late on the gas bill(again), and make the best of a bad situation by returning a briefcase they've recovered to its rightful owner, an attractive woman named Mary (Lauren Holly). ![]() The movie starts out in Providence, Rhode Island with two guys who are down on their luck. There is something absolutely mesmerizing and hilarious about Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels' performances as the lovable idiots Lloyd Christmas( Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels). The movie takes off and never lets up, not even enough to let you breathe. I could not stop laughing the first time I saw it, and the tenth time I saw it, and the hundredth time I saw it. ![]() This movie goes from joke to joke constantly and never misses a beat. ![]()
