Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels play the title roles (though viewers may find themselves debating which is which) in this genially low-brow comedy. Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) are two intellectually-challenged best friends who share an apartment so messy that gangsters aren't sure how to trash the place; the guys also have a certain problem (not difficult to understand) holding on to jobs. Lloyd is working as a limo driver in Rhode Island when he picks up a beautiful and wealthy woman named Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) who is being taken to the airport. Lloyd immediately falls head over heels in love with Mary, and when she leaves a briefcase at the airport, he's determined to return it in hopes of impressing her. Lloyd isn't able to get aboard Mary's flight (though not for lack of trying). Harry has a van decorated to look like a dog (to promote his failing dog-grooming business), and the pair hop in the Poochmobile to find Mary in Aspen. What Lloyd and Harry don't know is that the briefcase is full of money, which Mary deliberately left at the airport as a ransom payment to save the life of her kidnapped husband. Incidentally, Lloyd's chipped front tooth happens to be real; while Jim Carrey had the injured tooth capped many years ago, he thought a broken smile would suit Lloyd's character and had the cap removed for the duration of filming. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Now known as the film which propelled both Jim Carrey and the Farrelly brothers to superstardom, Dumb and Dumber was the first in an ever-growing line of gross-out comedies. But this lofty distinction does not keep it from getting a rather sparse treatment on DVD. Unlike the brothers' recent =Me, Myself and Irene DVD, which was packed to the gills with extras, =Dumb and Dumber comes up short. The picture is a widescreen anamorphic transfer and presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio (a full-screen version is on the other side). The sound is a clear Dolby Digital 5.1 and is used to good effect in certain sequences. Extras, however, are almost non-existent. There are two trailers -- one domestic and one international, a photo gallery, and the standard cast and crew bios. There's no doubt that =Dumb and Dumber is well worth owning, but fans of the film craving more may want to hold out for a special edition. ~ Jeremy Brown, All Movie Guide
