Dumb & Dumber

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.

I counted two sniggers and a laugh during the whole film. Go to Full Review Paul Kalina The Age (Australia) Jan 23
The plot sustains a series of scatological and sight-gags, some endearingly "dumb" humor, and provides a vehicle for Carrey's impressive talents in knockabout physical humor. Go to Full Review Ryan Gilbey Independent on Sunday 12/13/2017
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. Go to Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk Sep 23
10/10
The magic within Dumb and Dumber lies in Jeff and Jim, two grown-ass-adult-males acting like actual 6th grade children. Keeping straight faces and horsing around in ways that would make every mother in America roll their eyes... Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 08/31/2022

It isn’t nonstop hilarity; there are quite a few dead spots. But I liked it a lot. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 09/11/2020

John 05/22/2024 Hilarious. They don't make them like this anymore. A true comedy classic! See more Erik 04/02/2024 A true classic, one of the best of all time. A pleasure to see in the theaters in 2024. See more Judah S. @Judah3963 Jun 9 Greatest comedy ever made. See more K G @KatyG-S Jun 1 Some of my treasured (screwball) comedy movies. Don't you remember the times Jim Carrey appeared to be unforced funny (& still is)? Especially with his actions & hair, which made him look young. "What a dumb movie!" well do not judge by the title! The movie was not dumb at all! It was comedy gold, where at worst, potty humour was higher than acceptable. All of that humour did it just like the Naked Gun - physical clown jokes, which felt tangible & unforced. Even then, the suspenseful moments could still feel funny. This movie really should be recognised as iconic - the best line from Jim Carrey: "MOVE IT OR LOSE IT, SISTER!". Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels seemed to be that buddy cop duo. But the most distracting part of the movie was Jim Carrey's chipped tooth - I would have felt more comfortable if he had a tooth covering on. See more Jamal P @RT39995825 May 14 This is amazing. If you don't like this, screw you. See more Matteo T @RT77765309 May 8 It's a classic. A cult movie. See more Read all reviews
