Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 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

Variety - 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

Entertainment Weekly - 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

Chicago Sun-Times - 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

Austin Chronicle - 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

The New York Times - 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

Washington Post - 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.

The current critics score is misleading because over the past 20 years they've really warmed up to it. It's hilarious, gross, endearing, and one of the most memorable comedies of all time.

It's hilarious, gross, endearing, and one of the most memorable comedies of all time. The reason this (the original) worked so well while the prequel and new sequel didn't is because even though the characters are stupid, it's actually a pretty clever and witty movie. There's some sort of brilliance here that might be impossible to duplicate. It's not completely perfect of course, but it's great all the same.… Expand

What a waste of money and film. The movie is lam, is bad, bad taste, jokes that are not funny. It will be a classic of the bad, it will dissapear from the movie rentals IF get there.
