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.

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

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.

It isn’t nonstop hilarity; there are quite a few dead spots. But I liked it a lot.

The teaming and the formula are often copied but rarely matched.
