Dumb & Dumber

Dumb and Dumber is a 1994 comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. It was written and directed by The Farrelly Brothers. It is a modern example of slapstick comedy and gross-out humor. Some of its' most controversial scenes include the imbibing of urine, a dream sequence in which a man's privates get repeatedly punched and later bitten and another man's heart gets pulled out of his body, and a scene in which one of the main characters has painful and violent diarrhea. Thus the movie has received much criticism. Since its release, the film has become what many consider a comedy classic and the source of countless humorous quotes. Dumb & Dumber contributed to the launch to stardom of Jim Carrey and set the foundation for many Farrelly Brothers films yet to come.

Trivia

• Jim Carrey took out the cap in his chipped tooth for this role.
• The hotel suite that Lloyd and Harry stay in is the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.
• Jim Carrey refused to shoot an alternate ending of Harry and Lloyd getting on the bus with the girls.
• There is a scene in which Harry and Lloyd pick up Mental who is pretending to have car trouble and Lloyd decides to "go with his instinct" and give him a ride, then Lloyd asks him does he want to hear "the most annoying sound in the world". Also, when Lloyd is leaving the bar at the hotel after waiting on Mary for hours (she is really going out on a date with Harry that was arranged by Mary's step-mother), he sees a sign by the door that about the United States landing on the moon and says "We've landed on the moon!" (proving his lack of intelligence yet again). Both of those lines were ad-libbed by Jim Carrey.
• Production in Salt Lake City, Utah was completely shut down due to Jim Carrey having gallstone surgery.
