User Review
Will most likely continue to be the funniest movie of all time.
Rating: 10/10
Dumb and Dumber is a stupid movie, but what some people don't
understand is that is what it is supposed to be! It's about two
completely pathetic, dumb, and hopeless guys who do nothing but make
complete fools of themselves. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels give the
greatest comedic performances and form the best duo that has ever
graced a screen. Every scene, every sentence they speak, and every body
movement is pure genius. The way that each of them deliver their lines
makes this movie an all time classic that will never get old. I never
understood how someone could not like this movie. The only explanation
I could have is they think they are too "intelligent" for a "dumb
movie" like this. What they don't even understand that it's not the
jokes or gags that make this movie so great, it is all in the
performances. To those of you who do not like this movie please give it
another try and watch Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels play the roles that
they were meant to play.
