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

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

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

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 Kevin P @RT55971421 Jul 20 The definition of dumb fun. It's even in the title. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are both so memorable and lovably dumb as Harry and Lloyd. The iconic Dog Car was funny. The classic scene about "Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" is still hilarious. Same goes for the annoyed response "Guys! Guys! Guys! Fellas...". The movie starts off a little weak with Lloyd being a creepy towards the lady in the beginning. But thankfully it gets a lot better once the missing briefcase plot kicks in. The movie is very quotable, especially the line "So, you're telling me there's a chance". The comedy is sometimes hit or miss, but overall pretty funny. The lovable friendship between Harry and Lloyd is the heart of the story and tuns the flick into a pretty fun road trip movie. The woman from Aspen is very sweet. The chatty woman is funny and she has a great twist reveal near the end. It's not perfect, but it's a smart script about dumb people. See more Jace E @thefilmguy Jul 15 How this movie made me feel in one word: Lighthearted. Exceptionally dumb but endlessly quotable, it's impossible to not laugh while watching this movie. Unlike some of Jim Carrey's other roles (i.e., Ace Ventura) this one has aged decently well. He and Jeff Daniels have a great comedic rapport. It's a bit mindless, but that's exactly what I was hoping for. Best Character: Harry Best Quote: "So you're telling me there's a chance." - Lloyd Best Scene: The Snowy Owl Benefit See more KarthiK P. @madkarthi Jul 6 It is too funny and highly enjoyable. It has a great feeling to it right from those intentional title card spelling mistakes. Then thaat type van. Jim Carrey with his broken tooth and his crazy hairstyle and his physical acting just hits so funny. I laughed so hard at his performance. Jeff Daniels is surprisingly well acted here too. Both of them are just amazing together. There is just an amazing vibe throughout the entire film. See more Graham O @goczki Jul 5 The dumb humor and the realization that they are two grown men doing that makes this movie a comedy classic. See more Read all reviews
