Dumb And Dumber
Directed By: Peter Farrelly And Bobby Farrelly
The Story
The story is ridiculous, the cast and characters are ridiculous, the whole movie is ridiculous, and yet i loved every single minute of it. From the moment the movie started till the moment the movie ended i couldn't stop laughing. My jaw was actually hurting from laughing at how bad this movie actually is. The problem is tho, the movie is that bad its actually good. And that line can only be understood by watching this movie. Its hilarious, its crazy, its complete bonkers and i love it.
According to the Farrelly brothers, Jeff Daniels wasn't wanted for the film, but Jim Carrey wanted him in it. In order to ensure a no from him, they offered Daniels $50,000 for the role. He accepted without any hesitation nor did he attempt to negotiate, despite insistence from his agent the film would "kill his career." By 1994, the film was Daniels' most successful.
During filming, Jim Carrey stayed the night at the Stanley Hotel and requested to stay in the infamous room 217 (see Stephen King's: The Shining). According to the tour guide at the hotel, about three hours after Carrey went to sleep, he came running out of the room and left the hotel. To this day, he vows to never go back and won't tell anybody why. It is said to be because he saw the ghost of his grandfather.
Jim Carrey was initially offered $700,000 to appear in the film. However, the offer went in the same week when Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) opened at number 1 in the US box office, so by the time Carrey's agents had renegotiated with the film's producers, his salary had upped itself to $7 million, almost half the film's budg

The Cast
The cast are fantastic.... hmmm i think. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are at there very best here. The pair of them are thick as pig s***, and wind up in some very funny situations, which there is alot of. Every single moment you find yourself laughing or even smiling at just how funny the pair of them are, and there chemistry is superb.
Movie Highlight
I can't pick one scene or moment I particularly like, because trust me there are so many. The dinner scene, the cop scene, the toilet scene, and of course the owl scene are all very funny moments, which most of you will probably already know. Hahaha, i also love the moment Lloyd sells his dead headless bird to a blind kid. The moment we see him sitting stroking his bird is hilarious. ( but also harsh of course).
My Verdict
Very funny movie is my verdict. Sure its stupid, very silly, and childish, but sometimes thats not a bad thing. I'm thinking maybe i should finally watch the sequel.

Movie Trivia;
When Harry and Lloyd are in the car, Lloyd asks if Harry wants to hear the most annoying sound in the world. This was not originally in the script (you can tell by the look on Jeff Daniels' face).According to the Farrelly brothers, Jeff Daniels wasn't wanted for the film, but Jim Carrey wanted him in it.
