Dumb and Dumber is a 1994 American comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. It was written and directed by the Farrelly brothers, featuring slapstick comedy and gross-out humor. Dumb and Dumber contributed to the launch of a successful career for them and set the foundation for many Farrelly Brothers movies to come. It has a devoted cult following.

A prequel, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, which contained none of the original film's cast, was released in 2003 to poor critical reception, but a mild box office success.

Plot

Lloyd Christmas is a simple-minded limousine driver in Providence, Rhode Island, who becomes infatuated with his passenger, Mary Swanson, as he drives her to the airport. Mary is heading home to her family in Aspen, Colorado, but leaves a briefcase at the airport. Lloyd notices, and retrieves the briefcase before a pair of thugs arrive to pick it up, dashing ahead of them to snag the briefcase. Lloyd is unable to catch Mary in time, and is left on the ramp of the airport with briefcase in hand (after having run off the end of a jetway).

Harry Dunne, Lloyd's roommate, is in the pet grooming business, and has recently spent his life savings converting his van (a 1984 Ford Econoline) into a "sheepdog". Both Lloyd and Harry quickly lose their jobs due to preventable accidents, and the two are distraught over their situation. Thinking Lloyd is a "professional" hired by the Swansons, or perhaps an FBI agent, the thugs exact revenge on Harry and Lloyd. Shortly after returning home, Lloyd and Harry are alarmed by the thugs at their door, one of them being armed. Believing them to be debt collectors, the two escape through their back window with the briefcase. While the pair are out looking for new jobs, the thugs behead Harry's pet parakeet. After they return home, Lloyd, who had just been robbed of beer and other goods by "a sweet old lady on a motorized cart," convinces Harry they should leave their messed-up lives in Providence behind and head for Aspen to return the briefcase to Mary. The thugs learn of their intentions and pursue the two Aspen-bound men.

On their way to Aspen, Harry and Lloyd have several misadventures. They pick up one of the thugs, Joe 'Mental' Mentalino (Mike Starr), who says that his car broke down, and the other thug (Karen Duffy) follows them. When the trio stop at a restaurant for lunch, Lloyd and Harry inadvertently kill 'Mental' by accidentally feeding him rat poison. Later, the two wind up separating when Lloyd accidentally takes a wrong turn and drives them to Nebraska instead of Colorado. With the two virtually out of gas and Harry being infuriated by Lloyd's mistake, he begins walking home, but Lloyd is able to trade the van for a small scooter, he catches up with Harry and the two proceed to Aspen.

Unable to remember Mary's last name, or locate her in the phone directory, the two spend a cold night in a park. They end up in a scuffle, and in the process discover that the briefcase is filled with a large sum of cash, as ransom money she had left at the airport terminal in exchange for her kidnapped husband, unbeknownst to Lloyd. The two decide to spend it 'responsibly' and keep track of all expenditures with "I.O.U.'s", but they end up living extravagantly: they check-in at a luxury hotel, buy a Lamborghini Diablo, have full body make-overs, and get expensive, gaudy candy-colored tuxedoes (sky-blue for Harry, tangerine for Lloyd) complete with matching top hats and canes. Lloyd tries to use the money to woo Mary before revealing he has the briefcase, but Mary ends up befriending Harry, whose stupidity she mistakes for intentional humor. Harry and Lloyd both mistake Mary's friendship with Harry as a romantic interest.

Eventually the two are found out by the man behind the kidnapping plot, Nicholas Andre, a long time confidant of the Swanson family, who holds the three in their hotel room at gunpoint. When Lloyd reveals all the money is gone, replaced with I.O.U.'s, the kidnapper freaks and almost kills the pair. The FBI intercede, and Mary is reunited with her husband, much to Lloyd's dismay, who did not even realize Mary was married. Lloyd has a vision of himself murdering her husband, but it is interrupted when Mary introduces her husband to him.

With no money, the two begin to walk home. Along the way, they inadvertently turn down a chance to be oil boys for Hawaiian Tropic bikini models directing them instead to a nearby town. They then walk off together, saying to each other how two lucky guys will get to tour all over the country rubbing down the girls before shows. Harry reassures Lloyd that "someday we'll get our break too, we've just got to keep our eyes open".

Characters

• Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) is a semi-literate and mischievous man who has been fired from several jobs due to his lack of intelligence and his unwillingness to work "40 hours a week", the most recent of which is driving a limousine. He melodramatically falls in love with Mary while taking her to the airport, and becomes convinced he is destined to track her down, return her misplaced briefcase, and spend his future with her. He and Harry are the main characters.
• Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) is a good-natured dog groomer, and best friend to Lloyd. What he lacks in common sense, he makes up for by being a superior linguist to Lloyd. With Lloyd, he plans to open up his own pet store to specialize in selling worm farms; the store is tentatively named 'I Got Worms'.
• Nicholas Andre (Charles Rocket) is the main antagonist of the movie. The polar opposite of Lloyd and Harry, Nicolas Andre is a wealthy, handsome, intelligent and upper-class resident of Aspen, Colorado, who enjoys fine living. Andre is a long time confidant of the equally wealthy family of Aspen, the Swansons; however Andre is behind the plot to kidnap Bobby Swanson and demand a ransom through third parties. His plot is unwittingly foiled by Harry and Lloyd after they find and spend the ransom money, drawing the attention of the FBI. After attempting to kill Lloyd and Harry, Andre is arrested.
• Bobby Swanson (Brad Lockerman) is the rich victim of Andre's plot. He is in captivity throughout the movie, except at the end, when he is freed. He is the husband of Mary Swanson.
• Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) is an attractive lady whose husband Bobby has been kidnapped (by a family friend, it is ultimately revealed). She is the object of Lloyd's longing, and when Harry meets her, she also becomes the object of Harry's longing.
• Joe 'Mental' Mentalino (Mike Starr), also known as 'Gas-Man,' is a tall, beefy, cold-hearted criminal who works as a henchman for Nicholas Andre, the kidnapper. He suffers from severe digestive problems, including ulcers and intestinal gas, for which he is continually seen popping prescription antacid pills. He attempts to kill Lloyd and Harry, as well as retrieve the briefcase, but is accidentally killed for his troubles when the rat poison tablets (with which he intended to poison Lloyd and Harry) are mistaken for his pills (which Harry and Lloyd tried to feed him after they, unaware of his condition, loaded a burger with extremely hot chili peppers). He is increasingly angered by the idiocy of Lloyd and Harry.
• J.P. Shay (Karen Duffy) is the female accomplice of Mental. She appears as Andre's date at the wildlife benefit. She is arrested with Nicolas Andre by the FBI at the end of the film.
• Beth Jordan (Victoria Rowell) is an FBI agent masquerading as a talkative young woman who is moving to Aspen to get away from her clumsy boyfriend. She is actually following Lloyd and Harry as she is investigating the kidnapping and knows they have the ransom money. She befriends Lloyd in a bar as he expects to meet with Mary, having previously met Harry as they both refueled their cars at a gasoline station.
• Sea Bass (Cam Neely) is a trucker who spits on Harry's hamburger after Harry accidentally hits him with a salt shaker at a roadside diner, and is later foiled by Harry again, when he attempts to assault Lloyd (seen as a sexual assault) in a truck stop bathroom. Sea Bass was portrayed by hockey player Cam Neely, who also had a brief cameo in one of Jim Carrey's later films, Me, Myself and Irene, again playing Sea Bass.

Production notes

Jim Carrey, based on the box office success of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), received a salary of $7 million for this film.^[1]

Reception

The film was very successful at the box office, grossing $127,175,374 in the United States, and $246,400,000 worldwide, and topping the holiday season film gross.^[2]

The film currently garners an overall 62% "fresh" approval rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes.^[3] While Roger Ebert gave the film only two of four stars (despite lauding Carrey's performance and the dead parakeet joke),^[4] most reviews were positive. Stephen Holden of the New York Times called Jim Carrey "the new Jerry Lewis",^[5] and Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle called it "riotous", "rib-splitting", and gave the film praise for being both a crude and slapstick comedy and a "smart comedy" at the same time.^[6]

Although the film did not come away with any major American motion picture awards, it was very successful at the MTV Movie Awards. Jim Carrey won for Best Comic Performance, Carrey and Lauren Holly (a couple who would later endure a short-lived marriage) won for Best Kiss, and Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels were nominated for Best On-Screen Duo.

In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted Dumb and Dumber the 5th greatest comedy film of all time and the film ranks 445th on Empire magazine's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time. ^[7]

Location

Scenes taking place in Aspen were actually filmed in Breckenridge, Colorado and Park City, Utah. The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado (the main influence for The Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's The Shining) was transformed into the "Danbury Hotel" for the filming of the movie. The "Danbury Hotel" bar scene and stair case shot were the shots filmed at the Stanley. The scenes filmed in the snow were shot at Copper Mountain Resort.

Most of the external street scenes were filmed in Salt Lake City.^{[citation needed]} The opening scene (the limo scene) was filmed on 500 East, between 500 South and 600 South. The external courtyard of Harry and Lloyd's apartment (where they give the little blind boy Petey the parrot) was filmed 226 South and 300 East. The scene with the sweet ol' lady on the motorized cart was filmed in front of Thomson & Burrows Antique Store on 270 East and 300 South. The interior shots of Harry and Lloyd's apartment were filmed in the historic Union Pacific Railway Station in downtown Salt Lake. Mary Swanson's mansion in the beginning was filmed at LaCaille Restaurant near Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon.

Some scenes from the beginning of the movie were also shot on location in the Providence, Rhode Island metropolitan area, including shots of the skyline, The Big Blue Bug, and scenes from the beginning of their road trip were shot in locations in Cumberland.

The unrated version

Differences:

• In the PG-13 version, when Mental tears Petey's (Harry's parakeet) head off, it cuts after he says "I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat!". In the unrated version, it shows him violently squeezing Petey's head with his fists.
• In the unrated version, when Harry and Lloyd are in the truckstop diner, Harry complains to the waitress that his drink is no longer fizzy. The waitress deals with this by rudely grabbing the glass and blowing bubbles through the straw. In the PG-13 version this scene is absent.
• In the PG-13 version, Sea Bass is about to spit on Harry's burger, but the camera cuts to Lloyd, while the spitting sound is still heard. In the unrated version, it shows the spit coming out of his mouth onto the burger.
• In the unrated version, it features an extended dialogue scene between Lloyd and Harry in the honeymoon motel.
• In the unrated version, when Joe Mental and Shay (the female accomplice) are waiting by the side of the road for Harry and Lloyd to drive by, Shay says to Joe: "Keep your shirt on, I gotta squeeze a lemon" and crouches down.
• In the PG-13 version, "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" by Crash Test Dummies plays during the scene where Harry, Lloyd, and Mental are in the restaurant. This song is absent in the unrated version, possibly due to copyright issues.
• In the unrated version, when Sea Bass finds Lloyd in the bathroom, Lloyd keeps repeating 'find a happy place' to which Sea Bass replies, 'I'll show you a happy place!' before dropping his own pants and grabbing his crotch.
• In the unrated version, after the gas station scene a new scene occurs while driving where Harry makes fun of Lloyd about being in a bathroom with a 6'4" man with his pants down.
• In the unrated version, it features an extra scene prior to Harry's departure to the slopes with Mary, in which Lloyd comments on Harry's "revealing" ski suit.
• In the PG-13 version, when Harry is attempting to fix Mary's toilet, he shouts out that he's shaving, and we see Mary standing at the door. The unrated version shows Harry lifting the toilet to the window and dumping its contents out.

Prequel

A prequel, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd was released in 2003 to largely negative reviews from the popular media and a low box office income.

Animated sequel

Title card

In 1995, a Hanna-Barbera-produced animated sequel aired on ABC television, as part of its Saturday morning cartoon lineup; Matt Frewer provided the voice of Lloyd, while Bill Fagerbakke voiced the character of Harry. In the cartoon, Harry and Lloyd have reacquired their van. The cartoon also features a new character, Kitty, a female pet purple beaver who appears to be smarter than both men. The animated series was written by Bennett Yellin, co-writer of the original film.

Lloyd

• That's it. I've had it with this dump! We've got no food, we got no jobs,... our pets' HEADS ARE FALLIN' OFF!!!

• Life's a fragile thing, Harr. One minute you're chewin on a burger, and the next minute you're dead meat.

• Harry! You're alive! And you're a horrible shot.

• Good-bye, my love!

• (cornered by Sea Bass) Find a happy place! Find a happy place!

• (pretends to promote Turbo Lax) 1/2 teaspoon, for fast, effective relief.

• You know what I'm sick and tired of, Harry? I'm sick and tired of having to eke my way through life. I'm sick and tired of bein' a nobody. (pause) But most of all,... I'm sick and tired of havin' nobody.

• I'll tell ya where we'll go. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. And beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' bout a little place called... (silently) As-pen.

Harry

• Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this…and totally redeem yourself!

• [his leg is on fire while asking for Beth Jordan's phone number] FOR GOD'S SAKES, JUST GIMME THE DAMN NUMBER!!!!

• [to Mary] Nice set of hooters you got there.

Dialogue

Harry: What's her last name? I'll look it up.

Lloyd: You know, I don't really recall. Starts with an S! Let's see. Swim? Swammi? Slippy? Slappy? Swenson? Swanson?

Harry: Maybe it's on the briefcase.

Lloyd: Oh, yeah! It's right here.

[He reads the manufacturer's name, which is Samsonite.]

Lloyd: Samsonite! I was way off! I knew it started with an S, though.

Harry: [looks through the phone book] I'm not seeing it here, Lloyd.

Lloyd: She must be unlisted.

Harry: Great. So what are we supposed to do now?

Lloyd: I'm only human, Harry! Anybody can make a mistake. Come on! Stop bein' a baby! So we backtracked a tad!

Harry: A TAD?!!

(he furiously runs up to Lloyd)

Harry: A tad, Lloyd?! You drove almost a 6th of the way across the country in the wrong... DIRECTION!!! Now we don't have enough money to get to Aspen! We don't have enough money to get home! We don't have enough money to eat! We don't have enough money... TO SLEEP!!

Lloyd: Well, it's not gonna do us any good to sit here whinin' about it. We're in a hole. We're just gonna have to dig ourselves out.

Harry: (nods unhappily) Okay. Right. You're right. You're absolutely right, Lloyd.

(he's about to walk away)

Lloyd: Where ya goin'?

Harry: Home. I'm walking home!

Lloyd: Oh! Well, pardon me, Mr. PERFECT!!! (nervously laughs) I guess I forgot that you never, ever make a mistake!

Nicholas: Excuse me, Gentlemen? This is a $500-a-plate dinner. Good night.

(Harry puts cash in Nicholas' pocket)

Harry: Okay, put us down for 4.

Lloyd: In case we want seconds.

Joe: (sees a note on Harry and Lloyd's door) Those rat bastards. They're rubbin' it right in our faces.

Shay: Man! Andre'll have a goddamn hemorrage if we don't get that briefcase back!

Joe: They must've been followin' us for weeks.

Shay: Why ya say?

Joe: "Gas Man". How the hell do they know that I got gas?

Shay: They gotta be pros.

Joe: Don't worry. We're gonna get that money back. And I'll tell you somethin' else. They ain't never gettin' to Aspen. I'm gonna see to that. (crumples the note)

Lloyd: Excuse me, little old lady. Do you have change for a dollar?

Elderly woman: Change? No I'm sorry, I don't.

Lloyd: Well, can you do me a favor and watch my stuff here while I go break a dollar?

Elderly woman: Of course.

Lloyd: Thanks. Hey, I guess they're right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I'll be right back. Don't you go dying on me!

Harry: Where's the booze?

Lloyd: I got robbed by a sweet old lady on a motorized cart. I didn't even see it comin'!

[Harry starts to moan in despair]

Lloyd: Harry... Oh, come on, Harry. Cheer up...

Harry: [voice breaks] It gets worse, Lloyd. My parakeet, Petey...

Lloyd: Yeah?

Harry: He's dead.

Lloyd: Oh... Oh, man, I'm sorry, Harry. What happened?

Harry: His head fell off.

Lloyd: [reacts; whispers] His head fell off?

Harry: Yeah, he was pretty old.

Harry: I can't feel my fi-fingers anymore, Lloyd. T-th-they're numb!

Lloyd: Ooh. Maybe you should wear these extra gloves... my hands are starting to get sweaty.

Harry: Extra gloves? You've had...this pair...of extra gloves...this whole time??

Lloyd: Yeah! We're in the Rockies.

Harry: I'm going to kill you.

Lloyd: [chuckles] ...What?

Harry: I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna kill you, Lloyd!

Lloyd: Calm down, Harry!

Harry: Oh, no! I'm gonna kill you!

Lloyd: Harry, you've got that crazy look in your eye! [wields a log]

Harry: [chuckling] I know what I'm gonna do. [walks to the briefcase]

Lloyd: What are you doing!?

Harry: [grabs the briefcase] I'm gonna do something I should've done a long time ago.

Lloyd: Aah! Don't do anything foolish, Harry!

Harry: "Foolish"? This isn't foolish, I'm gonna toss this damn curse RIGHT INTO THAT DAMN POND! [he and Lloyd go through a struggle]

Lloyd: No!

Harry: I'm gonna do it! [throws the briefcase, but it lands somewhere off-screen]

[Harry grabs Lloyd and starts strangling him]:

Lloyd: EEEK! HARRY! YOUR HANDS ARE FREEZING!

Lloyd: That's it. I've had it with this dump! We've got no food, we've got no jobs, our pets' heads are falling off!!

Harry: Okay, just calm down!

Lloyd: What the hell are we doing here, Harry!? We've gotta get out of this town!

Harry: Yeah, and go where!? Where are we supposed to go?

Lloyd: I'll tell you where; someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' about a little place called Aspen.

Harry: Oh, I dunno, Lloyd, the French are assholes.

Lloyd: The least you could do is level with me. What are my chances?

Mary: Not good.

Lloyd: You mean like one out of a hundred?

Mary: More like one out of a million.

Lloyd: So you're tellin' me there's a chance.

Harry: I can't believe we drove around all day, and there's not a single job in this town. There is nothing, nada, zip!

Lloyd: Yeah! Unless you wanna work forty hours a week!

Harry: Huh! I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.

Lloyd: I was thinking the same thing. That John Denver's full of shit, man.

Officer: Pull over!

Harry: (shows his sweater) No, it's a cardigan, but thanks for noticin'!

Lloyd: Yeah! Killer boots, man!

Officer: Pull your vehicle to the side of the road!

Harry: Look at the buns on that.

Lloyd: Yeaaaah...he must work out.

Lloyd: The first time I set eyes on Mary Swanson, I just got that old fashioned romantic feeling, where I'd do anything to bone her.

Harry: That's a special feeling, Lloyd.

Lloyd: Uh, what is the Soup Du Jour?

Waitress: It's the Soup of the Day.

Lloyd: Mmmm. That sounds good. I'll have that.

Lloyd: Hey Harry.

Harry: Hey Lloyd. How was your day?

Lloyd: Not bad, fell off the jetway again.

Harry: So you got fired again?

Lloyd: Yeah, they always freak out when you leave the scene of an accident, ya know.

Harry: Yeah, I lost my job too.

Lloyd: Man, You are one pathetic loser. No offense.

Harry: No, none taken.

[after accidentally killing Mental with rat poison]

Harry: He blamed me...those were his last words. You heard him.

Lloyd: Not if you count the "gurgling" sound.

Lloyd: So, where ya headed?

Mary: Aspen

Lloyd: Mmm, California. Beautiful!

Lloyd: That's a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

Harry: Skis, huh?

Woman: That's right.

Harry: They yours?

Woman: ..Uh huh.

Harry: Both of them?

Woman: Yeah.

Harry: Cool!

Harry: That's a lot of luggage for a little vacation.

Harry: Well, you know I--

Harry: [hands mirror to her] Here. It's a little loose.

Lloyd: Isn't this incredible? What more could two single guys ask for?

Harry: No! Wait. Do me first. I stole your girl, Lloyd, I deserve it.

Lloyd: No, you don't.

Harry: Yes, I do.

Lloyd: No, you don't. No, you don't!

Harry: Yes, I do! Yesterday was one of the greatest days of my life! Mary and I went skiing, we made a snowman, she touched my leg.

Lloyd: (faking) Okay. Kill him!

Lloyd: What's going on, Harry? Your name is "Harry", isn't it?

Harry: Yeah, she grabbed down at the lobby, explained what was up, then they slapped this bullet proof vest on me and gave me a gun.

Lloyd: But what if he shot you in the face?

Harry: [to detective] What if he shot me in the face?

Beth: That's a risk we were willing to take.

[bus pulls up, a girl comes out]

Bikini contestant: Hey, guys. We're going on a national bikini tour and we're looking for two oil boys who can grease us up before each competition.

Harry: You are in luck...there's a town about three miles that way. I'm sure you'll find a couple guys there.

Bikini contestant: Okay..thanks..

[bus pulls away]

Lloyd: Do you realize what you've done?! Hey! Wait!
