I give this flick credit where credit is due. I saw it when I about 11 or 12, and I said I would never stop loving it. I have seen it maybe four or six times a year since then. I still haven't stopped laughing.I guess that's the thing about comedies- They stop being funny eventually. Sometimes you laugh at a part but you start laughing before it happens because you've seen it so many times. I myself crack up the second the Black Knight appears in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Animal House still makes me laugh like a madman, but it's so familiar at this point it can't help but seem familiar.
Well Dumb and Dumber, like Airplane!, is one of the few flicks to seem fresh each time I see it. I laugh as loud now at " It's okay! I'm a limo driver!" as I did when I first saw it. It's insane but it's how it is.
What makes this movie very cool is the rest of the world is normal. It's all Lloyd(Carey) and Harry's (Daniels) bizarre freak show. Everything that they touch turns insane and it's nothing short of hilarious.
Lauren Holly has headlights, Harland Williams makes funny noises, and... that guy stood there... well.... C'mon, the first dead bird since Python! C'MON!!!
