Hilarity, chaos and a masterclass in slapstick ensues.ĭumb & Dumber is the kind of film you can bond with strangers over. Little do they know that they have unwittingly thwarted a ransom drop. However, I Got Worms becomes a distant memory when Lloyd gives beautiful stranger Mary a lift during his short-lived career as an (it's OK! I'm a) limo driver, and after seemingly rescuing her abandoned suitcase from the airport, the two friends embark on a mission to track Mary down to Aspin in order to return the luggage. The only dot of light on the horizon is their mutual desire to start a worm farm business in their home town of Providence, Rhode Island, but in reality this is nothing more than a pipe dream.

I concur.įor those who have not yet succumbed, Dumb & Dumber centres around oafish best friends Lloyd Christmas (played by Jim Carrey, his real-life chipped front-tooth proudly on display) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) who are scratching their way through life with nothing but each other, Petey the parakeet and Harry's shaggin' wagon for company. Indeed, one commenter on a Guardian piece recently described the film as 'the masterpiece against which all other cinema must be judged'. Since then I have watched Dumb & Dumber – the Farrelly brothers' timeless roadtrip farce – dozens of times, mainly with my brother for quote-along company. Little did I realise that what I was about to witness would become my favourite film of all time. It was a friend's birthday and we didn't know much about the film we'd booked to see at our local cinema in Bristol, except that it was a comedy with that funny actor from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in it. It was without doubt the most hilarious moment of my 13 years on planet Earth. Glancing over my shoulder in the cinema almost 20 years ago, I clearly recall my friend's mum recoiling in horror as the effects of Lloyd's Turbolax prank on Harry reached Mary's broken lavatory.
