Peter Stack

This wacky buddy road film... has a brilliant glow of intelligence behind the stupidness. It's easily the funniest movie of the year. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

A flat-out celebration of stupidity, bodily functions and pratfalls. Yet the wholeheartedness of this descent into crude and rude humor is so good-natured and precise that it's hard not to partake in the guilty pleasures of the exercise. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

There are limits to how much comic irony can be wrung out of the sight of two grown men acting like complete cretins. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The plot is lame, but that doesn't matter, because Dumb and Dumber is essentially pitched at the level of an "Airplane!"-style movie, with rapid-fire sight gags. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Maybe it's indicative of my end-of-the-year brain-fry, but this dopey comedy about two of the dumbest guys in the universe on a road trip to misadventure is a hoot. Read full review

Stephen Holden

A movie that knows much better than to try to make sense. It is essentially a strung-together series of gags, most of them thought up by Lloyd, an inveterate practical joker. Read full review

Rita Kempley

An abominable, abdominal comedy. Aside from its tastelessness and dawdling pace, the movie’s chief problem is the lackluster chemistry between leading lummoxes Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Read full review

Why does it get a 39 Metascore? This is hilarious! I'm glad these users are exposing the truth, by getting it a rating of "universal acclaim". In your face critics! This movie was hilarious, clever, and stupid. A must see for all Carey fans and anybody else really.

A fun, yet dumb, movie for dumb people. You'll pretty much pull out the laughs throughout the movie. Even if not, it's still worth it giving it an 8 instead.

Screw what the stuck up critics have to say about comedies; they are usually way underrated just like this film. I have seen this roughly 40 times and still cannot get enough. It is a classic and if you have not seen it, go out and do so. I will warn you
