Imbecilic best friends Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) stumble across a suitcase full of money left behind in Harry's car by Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly), who was on her way to the airport. The pair decide to go to Aspen, Colo., to return the money, unaware that it is connected to a 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.
Dumb & Dumber

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.

I counted two sniggers and a laugh during the whole film. Go to Full Review
Ryan Gilbey Independent on Sunday Dec 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

3/4
You cannot deny a laugh, and Dumb and Dumber has plenty. Go to Full Review
Paul Kalina The Sunday Age Jan 23, 2026
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

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

It isn’t nonstop hilarity; there are quite a few dead spots. But I liked it a lot. Go to Full Review
