Well I'm back from a long and great vacation/road trip, word of advice if you’re thinking of wanting to take a road trip down South be careful of the many traffic jams, you'll encounter for many reasons, they will drive you to the point of madness for which we all know is like gravity it just takes for one big push to get you yelling at the cars and the people driving them. So, now that I've returned, I figured out what better way to make a comeback by reviewing a movie all about a road trip with two of the dumbest people on the planet. Dumb and Dumber staring Jim Carey along with unsuspecting comedic performance from Jeff Daniels both star as the most iconic not so bright dumb bros legit who are able to do the most inspecting things you'd never quite expect they would pull off or even they would know they pulled off.
Imbecilic best friends Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) stumbles across a suitcase full of money left behind in Lloyd's car by Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly), who was on her way to the airport. The pair decide to go to Aspen Col., to return the money, unaware that it is the connected to the kidnapping. As Harry and Lloyd -- who has fallen in love with Mary -- are pursued across the country by hired killers and police, they find both their friendship and their brains tested.
The interesting thing I found out about Jim Carey's career, is that 1994 was really Carey's biggest as well as the launching point of his career, for examples his very first success was Ace Ventura which came out in February 4th of that year, then five months later comes out with the Mask and then Christmas season he comes out with Dumb and Dumber so, really talk about your one, two punch to financial success like, you can pay off everything with just those three films combined. The hotel scenes in the film were actually shot at the infamous Stanley Hotel (which was based on Stephan King's the Shinning) and what I heard of this story and granted it's been a few years when I heard it while taken a tour at the hotel, Jim Carey actually stayed the night at the Hotel and he was so shook up about the Hotel he didn't want to set foot in there so they decided to shoot the scenes at a Studio. Which comes to show that stories like the Stanley Hotel you'd probably know the stories are true. A movie like this which developed a cult following and stands the test of time, there's really nothing to say about how great the film is I mean earlier Jim Carey's films age like fine wine when you think about it. Though in all honesty there's has to be some praise for the film’s success is the writing from the Farrelly brothers and Bennet Yellin as well as the incredible acting with Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels, like these five people combined created a brilliant piece of comedic genius where you have these two characters who are so dumb and make such terrible choices as well as making decisions that are so funny. And really when you look a movie like this, it's without a doubt a great example of making a road trip comedy I mean if you’re looking at past road trip movies through the years and granted some of them I either remember or haven't seen so, deep down this movie without a doubt a perfect comedic Road Trip movie. Time tested for Dumb and Dumber, furthermore I would most certainly recommend watching Dumb and Dumber as well as watching it with your teenagers because a movie like this isn't so bad in terms of vulgar language or sexual content and I would believe the youngsters of today would give a chuckle moreover have a blast, speaking of which I should pick a time to watch this with my nephew, The movie is still on Netflix last I checked so if you’re in need of a perfect comedy to shut your brain off I would most certainly recommend watching Dumb and Dumber.
