I’m going to try to keep this one short, it’s later
than I’d like it to be and I have to get up early tomorrow. But Basically Dumb
and Dumber To (yes that is how it’s spelt) is coming out tomorrow and I had not
yet seen the original from start to finish in one sitting. So I decided to
finally watch it and do a review. Let’s begin shall we?
Plot Summary – Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry
Dunn (Jeff Daniels) are two friends who live together in Providence Road Island.
When Harry drives a woman named Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) to the airport and
notices she left a bag behind, he sets out to find her and return the bag along
with Harry, while being unknowingly pursued by the people who Mary
intentionally left the bag for.
Pros – For the most part it’s actually pretty funny.
It doesn’t try and go for the obvious gags most of the time, and both Carrey
and Daniels are pretty good in this.
Cons – For me at least, while the beginning had its
moments, the humour didn’t pick up better until about halfway through the film.
Final Score – 7/10
It didn’t have me rolling in the aisles, but it did
have quite a few good laughs.
I’m not sure when I’ll be able to see the sequel, as I
have two other films I planned to see ahead of it.
But until then, I’ll see you guys at the movies.
