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.

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 Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune 08/23/2017

You cannot deny a laugh, and Dumb and Dumber has plenty. 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 TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 28 Dumb and Dumber is a pure blast of ridiculous comedy that still holds up decades later. Jim Carrey’s Lloyd Christmas is a whirlwind of faces, voices, and fearless physical gags, while Jeff Daniels matches him perfectly as the sweetly dim Harry Dunne. Together they turn stupidity into an art form, creating nonstop laughs through a simple road trip packed with outrageous moments. The film never pretends to be smart; instead it leans into excess, crude jokes, and slapstick, and that commitment is exactly why it works. The chemistry between Carrey and Daniels is electric, making every scene feel playful and unpredictable. Even when the humor is juvenile, their timing keeps it charming rather than annoying. Dumb and Dumber isn’t about plot or depth, it’s about letting go and laughing as hard as possible. It’s endlessly quotable, wildly rewatchable, and a defining comedy of the 90s that still delivers pure, carefree fun today. A timeless reminder that sometimes being dumb is pure joy.
