Dumb and Dumber (1994)

Very funny. Not just silly. I often cite this film as my favourite all time film. It took me time to watch it for the first time as it looked like a number of other films which are silly and claim to be hilarious but usually miss the point. This film nails it. The comedy is constant and is cleverly done with situations fitting nicely into the storyline which acts as the perfect vehicle for the perfect delivery of an amazing script. The Carrelly brothers other films are good too but usually have something uncomfortable in. Dumb and Dumber is their masterpiece. I can imagine them finishing it, then going over the script asking, "what else can we add to this joke to make it funnier?" A very difficult film to beat in comedy. I'm going to watch it again now.

These guys are the very meaning of dumb. They don't get any dumber then this. Even though there pretty dumb they still were smarter then the bad guys, just because their dumb!

This is so bad despite it being really good yet I still think it’s good despite me thinking it’s really bad.

They outdumb every goddamn person in any goddamn film ever - except maybe horror films.

Poetic cinema.
