SYNOPSIS
Lowbrow buffoonery hit commercial highs with 1994’s DUMB AND DUMBER. When best friends and aspiring pet groomers Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey, in a star-making role) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) get fired, Lloyd convinces Harry to travel to Colorado to search for his dream woman–Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly). Little does Lloyd know that Mary’s in Aspen trying to locate her kidnapped husband. Soon the dim-witted pair have gotten mixed up in the crime, and their wacky exploits are leading the FBI straight to the crooks.
The Farrelly Brothers are at the peak of their twisted craft with this gut-busting comedy. But between such gross-out gags as Hary’s laxative overdose and Lloyd’s deliriously over-the-top dream sequence, it’s really the chemistry between Carrey and Daniels–and the charming naiveté of these two dunces–that lend the film a disarming sweetness.
