What to Know

Critics Consensus

A relentlessly stupid comedy elevated by its main actors: Jim Carrey goes bonkers and Jeff Daniels carries himself admirably in an against-type performance.

Ryan Gilbey Independent on Sunday 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. Dec 13, 2017 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune You cannot deny a laugh, and Dumb and Dumber has plenty. Rated: 3/4 Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter The plot, of course, is merely an excuse for an endless series of gags, and the percentage of them that score is fairly high. Nov 12, 2014 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault It isn’t nonstop hilarity; there are quite a few dead spots. But I liked it a lot. Rated: B Aug 31, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The teaming and the formula are often copied but rarely matched. Rated: 9/10 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a modern classic of the comedy genre... Rated: 3/4 Nov 18, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
