Review

As a kid, I only watched the animated TV spinoff of DUMB & DUMBER on Cartoon Network and didn't watch the film until I was finally old enough. DUMB & DUMBER is a terrifically hilarious movie that mixes toilet humour and slapstick comedy. I have high praise for the performances of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, and I liked the hilarious dialogue and chemistry they put in this film. The funniest moments include the dead parakeet incident and Lloyd having to pee in the empty beer bottles before the cop on the motorcycle subsequently drinks it. Another memorable scene is when Harry is on the broken toilet and has a severe case of flatulence.

DUMB & DUMBER is the best Jim Carrey movie I've ever watched and is now one of my favourites. Everyone will laugh at this film by the time they watch it when they see the duo's outrageous and funnier antics.

Star rating: (5/5) Best Movie Ever
