When he said he had a "rapist wit", he meant to say rapier wit. A rapier is a type of sword, so when someone says that, they are essentially saying "I'm so sharp with my words, I can slash you to pieces with them." The thing about eating her liver was a reference to the movie "Silence of the Lambs".
"Rapier wit" is an idiom that describes someone who is very intelligent and quick to make clever or witty comments or jokes. For example, you might describe a journalist as having "rapier wit" if they are known for their quick wit and clever comments
This film was a hit at the time, directed by the Farrelly Bros who's trademark is gross out comedy. "Kingpin" and "Something About Mary" were other great films from them, the second in particular. At the owl fundraiser Lloyd meant "rapier wit", rather than "rapist wit". Rapier wit means to be quick witted, or have a quick comeback in conversation. The scene where Lloyd spikes Harry's drink and we later see him laughing whilst riding the scooter is a reference to "The Wizard of Oz", through a combination of the laugh, being in motion and the music in the background, (only just noticed that). Also the lead actress was Jim Carrey's wife at the time. "Dumb and Dumber", is an old expression to refer to two guys who are as stupid as each other, along the lines of "Tweedledum and Tweedledee"
"So you're tellin me there's a chance" was the funniest thing to me. Growing up as a dorky kid I knew exactly how he felt. A 1 in a million shot with a hot girl was better than nothing
The scene in the beginning where Lloyd goes "Good bye my LooOOVve!" and crashes literally made me piss myself from laughing too hard when I was like 11 years old.
The "Manly love" scene, where he reads the notice then is racing to finish and get out of there..🤣 Being strangled and complaining Harry's hands are cold too.😂
This is the only movie whose world premiere I got to go to. They held it in Detroit, which NEVER happens, because Jeff Daniels is from Michigan and owns a stage theater here, so it was not only the premiere, it was a fundraiser for his theater. All the stars were there except for Jim Carrey because he was doing like Letterman or something that night promoting the movie. And they had the actual Shaggin' Wagon parked in front of the theater. It was awesome. ❤
Sea Bass was played by Cam Neely. One of the greatest power forwards in NHL history. Played for the Boston Bruins who he is now president of. Also started the Cam Neely Foundation after his parents died of cancer. They raise money to take care of cancer patients and their families. Overall great human, and actually pretty funny in this movie
Even with a comedy like this and your own admission that there probably won't be much to say in the Outro/Discussion, you still provide 13 minutes of entertainment, insight, and charm. You're doing a great job, Whimsory.
Yeah that was a very informative outro. What I liked about the big gulp scene was how he paused for a second like he was hanging out with them, then says "see ya later" as if he built a relationship with them in that brief second.
@@Whimsorythis and Team America: World Police are my favourite comedies of all time! Doesn't matter how many times I watch them they always make me laugh "What happened?! His HEAD fell off...yeh he was getting pretty old" 😂
I used to quote the “What’s the soup du jour?” “It’s the soup of the day.” “That sounds good. I’ll have that.” With a gal I worked with that prepared soup and sandwiches. 😊
17:44 There’s a phrase of having a sharp wit, meaning keen intelligence and therefore capable of very clever humour. A rapier is a type of sword with a very sharp blade. The phrase ‘rapier wit’ is used to indicate an extremely clever mind and sense of humour. Lloyd’s speech is full of malapropisms (indicated by the Austria/Australia confusion in his first scene), and so he messes the word rapier with a much more horrifying image.
A classic. Killer boots, man! The Farrely Brothers have a lot of great silly comedies/romantic comedies. Kingpin, There's Something About Mary, Stuck on You, Me, Myself & Irene (also with Carrey). All incredibly fun films with the same overall tone (the Farrely Bros style is consistent). Comedy with a heart.
MY FAVORITE line and one i quote often is the "who are these sick people!?" her delivery and facial expressions are sold so well, it kills me everytime.
Рік тому+22
I was 15 when this came out and it was hilarious! Still laughing to all the jokes. Am I immature? Definitely. Am I proud of that? Surely. :D
28:28 Glad you made this observation Whimsory. It's easy to be misled by these performances. Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey are both super versatile - and great - actors.
A little bit of humor that often gets missed in reaction videos of this movie is when Harry and Lloyd are in the heart shaped Jacuzzi. Harry explains that he wrote her a “John Deere“ letter. This is another malapropism; he’s mixing up the tractor equipment company “John Deere” with “Dear John” letters. FYI, back in World War II, women would write letters to their men who were off of fighting the war in Europe. With “John” being such a popular name at the time, the letters came to be known as “Dear John“ letters. Love your reactions Whimsory.
I think I laughed more from your facial expressions than from the film lol. When D&D first came out, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE loved it. It didn't matter what age you were; it was a riot. It still holds up today as one of Jim's best comedies. Seeing your reactions to the ridiculousness of everything made me laugh too. Thanks for brightening my day.😊
@@jamesfield1674 I’m so ready for their next movie! They better not follow in Quentin Tarantino’s steps and only plan on releasing a limited amount of movies. I need more!
There was several lines that were quoted a lot from this at the time, which seemed to be a focus in films Carry was a primary lead. 'So your telling me there is a chance' might have been the one quoted most often.
32:45. The ending made this abundantly clear, when Loyd had a chance to undo Harry’s missed opportunity with the Hawaiian Tropic models, and simply doubles down on the moronic blunder.🌿🌸
Harry might be baseline less dumb, but I think Lloyd has more cleverness due to him exhibiting guile (even if it doesn’t always work for him), which Harry doesn’t seem to possess quite as much.
Jim Carrey released Ace Ventura, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber all in the same year. That's more success than most actors entire career. I highly recommend Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's a favorite of mine. Absolutely legendary.
"I fell off the jetway again." One of my favorite sleeper lines. This movie is extremely quotable. The way Lloyd wobbles on the scooter is classic Jim Carey. Harry launching a full blast snowball into Mary's face is a classic scene. An absolute classic. The other movies are meh at best compared to this first movie.
The fact that the snot frozen on their faces on the motor scooter was hilarious to me makes me question what I thought was a slight intellectual slant in myself. Oh, well - I’ll be better next life. Thanks for brightening my day today, Whimsory.
When I was a kid, I remember my grandmother who was in her 70's at the time watched this movie and thought it was hilarious. She liked it so much she watched it a few more times with her friend. Also my go to movie quote is: " Hold on to your butts"
For a "1st movie" director and bro made a masterpiece imo. The terminator of comedy movies Seabass was a great actor when i was a kid i was afraid to look at him
The "fava beans and a nice chianti" line is a reference to the movie The Silence of the Lambs, another classic that I'm sure you'll get to eventually (no 23). Oh and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! is amazing! :D
Oh man, I so wanted that to still be right! SotL is currently sitting at #24, which is crazy, seeing some of the movies ranked above it. But when you wrote this, it was #23 on the 250 List? Which means when you wrote this...Jim Carrey had quoted Silence of the Lambs in this movie; Silence of the Lambs was ranked #23; Jim Carrey STARRED IN THE FILM "THE NUMBER 23"!!! IT REALLY IS EVERYWHERE!!!
I’ve seen this movie so many times it’s one of those movies each time you pick up a new joke- the one that still bursts me is Mary playfully throwing a snowball and harry just unloading at point blank to her face each time I can’t help but laugh
The guy who plays “Sea Bass” is Cam Neely, an NHL Hall of Famer & the current president of the Boston Bruins. He was one of the best power forwards in hockey history. He was a legit ‘tough guy’. 6’3” 235lbs, but also was a great scorer. He’s a legend & he was a huge star in the NHL when this movie came out. The directors are from New England fans of the sports teams there. So in a lot of their movies they cast pro athletes from the Boston area in small roles.
You definitely have to be able to push self-consciousness way off the side (if not abandon it outright) to achieve those comedic moments of hilarious ugliness.
I remember from an interview of a co-star or director, someone said when you put those two together on set you could see their IQs dropping as they got into character. 😆
I am EXACTLY who this movie was for! lol.. I was 13 when it came out.. and it was perfect for my sense of humor! haha.. Oh.. and don't feel alone.. I am 42.. and still have a child like sense of humor.. it's the best way to live IMO. lol.. Stay young at heart is my motto. 😋 One last thing.. That is one of the biggest reasons I love your channel/reactions... you have a very fun personality.. that's what makes your reactions very fun to watch! Every one!! So thx!! 😊
Well, I mean, yes, Jim Carrey has really good _comedic_ chops, but he's also an actor with _range._ Like, the movie _Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind_ is a _drama_ in which he delivers a really solid _performance._
First, I wanted to say that you are getting very comfortable in front of the camera and it's great. 2nd, I'm 46, have seen this movie probably 100 times, and I still laugh 😂🤣. So don't apologize for your sense of humour 😋
i've used the line "he must work out" a lot through the years. Often do "the most annoying sound in the world" bit. and you often mentioned the odd music... this is one of my favorite soundtracks.
5:33 this is Lloyd in a nutshell, too dumb to know that you don't thank someone by insulting them 😂 this is one of my favs, these two make a dream team for comedy! another great reaction! 👍
When you mentioned that Lloyd and Harry are not afraid to look ugly, it reminded me about Carrey's tooth. That is an actual chipped tooth that he has had since childhood; he usually has a dental cap on it.
When Loyd and Harry are feeding the pepper to the assassin the background song “the bear song” by Green Jelly is a song I still sing to myself when ever I am by myself. I have 2 of their albums and have fond memories of it as a kid. “Kick his ass sea bass!” Is some thing me and my friends used to yell at each other in high school.
When they did "Dumb and Dumber To" in 2014, they had someone driving that Mutt Cutts van around various cities for promotion. It drove past me while I was waiting to cross the street in Toronto and I nearly died laughing.
The Jim Carrey gagging as he's fighting back tears made me laugh so much when I first saw that as a child. It was one of those moments when I realised nobody else can do what this guy does. I love your post analysis btw. I was about to write "you've never gagged when you are fighting back tears?", and then you explained the odd reaction
The movie is still funny even today! Not many comedy movies are like this one! I liked the connection between the two actors! No mistake! Freaking perfect! They were like brothers in this movie! And yes! Your right! The soundtrack is pretty cool and very recognizable!❤
My dad and I used to go watch movies at our favourite theater (now long gone), and can attest that a 14 year old me and my dad both were laughing hysterically through out. I don't think some people ever tire of "juvenille" humour if it's done earnestly and if everyone is fully committed to the act. For myself, this is a landmark film of the Nineties, from the music to the comedy. I absolutely love the song that starts the film from Apache Indian "Boom Shak-a-Lack"; I can't help but dance. The song that you said seems familiar is also a personal favourite, and has been heavily featured in films throughout the years. It is from the amazing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and is called "Red Right Hand" and you probably know it from "Scream". Finally, you also made mention of the inestimable song "New Age Girl" by the band Dead Eye Dick. I had a friend in grade 10 that was absolutely obsessed with the song and I have fond memories of us sitting in Chemistry 10 and him playing the song for us on repeat on his yellow Sony walkman. Your reaction reminds me that like most things in life, moments are best shared and it was so great sharing this comedy with my dad, and now with you. Off topic but I really hope to see you react to the teen witch drama "The Craft" from a few years after this was released. It also has a Nineties soundtrack that I still have on repeat.
In the bathroom scene, that was a genuine reaction. The actor who played Sea Bass was having a hard time with the scene, so in that take, when he opened the stall door, Jim Carrey was there, mooning him.
Lauren Holly doesn't get enough credit for this movie. She's hilarious and classy and total "girl in the white dress". When are you seeing Citizen Kane? It's great.
"Superbad" is a classic 2000's immature highschool type movie with some very big names, which I would love to see you react too and discuss in your outro. And a wildcard from me would be "Bad Santa" which is a much darker comedy, not sure if you like darker comedies as well yet but again would love to see your reaction and outro. 😊
Quotable is an understatement. No one would shut up with it. Ever since Jim Carrey hit the comedy blockbuster scene, he's probably the most quoted/copied/meme-ed funnyman from the movies, ever. Most certainly from his era (don't quote me on that. Seriously). He's been meme-ed to death. That's why some people, myself included, have a hard time watching his older stuff. It's not even his fault. The guy is pure magic on screen.
You should really watch the first Ace Ventura. It was his break out role. Along with Liar Liar, and Me, Myself and Irene, it's his best work. Definitely his most '90s' movies.
17:37 "Don't say that! What did you even mean by that?!" He intended to say "rapier wit." A "rapier" is a thin, light sword good for fast and agile movements, so a "rapier wit" is quick and sharp.
Hi Whimsory another great reaction,This is one of my top comedy movies of all time for other lowbrow comedies I recommend Kingpin (also from the Farrely brothers), Austin Powers, American Pie and The Naked Gun and Hot Shots The last 2 are spoofs of Cop movies and Top Gun respectively in the style of Airplane.Glad you had fun I did too.
One of my favorites. My buddies and I used to quote this movie all the time growing up. One line that I still say to this day is "suck me sideways!" And I remember that pooping scene used to have me in tears laughing. The faces and sounds he makes, so hilarious. And yes, the soundtrack for this movie is great. I love that "New Age Girl" song, the 'Mary Mo' song.
20:50: Here's a depressing thought if you're old enough to appreciate it: It was 25 years between the moon landing and Dumb and Dumber. It has now been 30 years since Dumb and Dumber came out.
Mary Christmas... that has a nice ring to it! If you can believe it, back when Dumb and Dumber was released in theatres there was a novelisation published, written by Madeline Dorr, that softens some of the raunchier jokes and adds a few more dabs of clever wordplay. Lloyd imagining Mary will marry him and take his last name is something Madeline Dorr included in her book.
Hi Whimsory, somehow I managed to miss the notification of your last review so I have had the great [pleasure in watching you two days in a row. Dumb and Dumber is the first of your reviews that I hadn't seen before and I am encouraged to watch the whole film myself. Thank you for another great video and keep up the excellent work Whimsory.
The two follow-up movies, Dumb and Dumberer (the prequel) and Dumb and Dumber To, are not well regarded. But this one is fondly remembered. Good, lasting humor has to be intelligently written, so while the characters are dumb, the writing isn't. I've been recommending on every video of yours the Princess Bride and Imagine Me & You. Both are absolutely fun watches.
I cannot wait for you to react to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Not a comedy, but IMO one of Jim Carrey's best movies, and one of my favorite movies ever.
I've been watching this movie since I was 2 years old. My whole immediate family loves and quotes this movie. As a kid the toilet scene was my favorite, but as an adult it's way too hard to just pick one. "How's your burger?" And "Pretty bird" is quoted a lot for me. My mom and I both have a cat, and their named Harry and Lloyd, and are brothers. I went to my senior prom in the blue suit, as my brother was in the orange. This movie is such a nonstop funny movie. I was in Salt Lake City for a long weekend and found out most of the movie was shot there so I went to a lot of locations like the hot tub motel, Mary's house, the apartment, the 7-11, etc. I loved watching this because I love seeing the genuine reaction if some reacting and loving something the same way I did when I first watched or listened to something that became such a part of my life. The sequel is ok to watch once or twice. It's funny but not that rewarchable. The prequel Dumb & Dumberer is a good watch once movie but is a lite cringey. If you love 90's alternative music, the soundtrack of this movie is sooooo good. I have a CD and vinyl copy. Some songs in the movie are not in it sadly. Ihigh suggest to check it out.
7:42 I'm glad you pointed out the weird song. When we were very young, me and my brother used to giggle about that song everytime we watched this movie. Something about a "butt crack?" LoL wtf is this song?? 😂
hey I just want to say I saw you getting emotional during the having nobody part, and just want to say your going to make someone so happy someday and hopefully you will be as well. trust me

I am EXACTLY who this movie was for! lol.. I was 13 when it came out.. and it was perfect for my sense of humor! haha.. Oh.. and don't feel alone.. I am 42.. and still have a child like sense of humor.. it's the best way to live IMO. lol.. Stay young at heart is my motto. 😋 One last thing.. That is one of the biggest reasons I love your channel/reactions... you have a very fun personality.. that's what makes your reactions very fun to watch! Every one!! So thx!! 😊
Well, I mean, yes, Jim Carrey has really good _comedic_ chops, but he's also an actor with _range._ Like, the movie _Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind_ is a _drama_ in which he delivers a really solid _performance._
"T-he... t-he... t-he..." - "the..." - that line kills me every time.
Greetings from Finland girl!!! Loved your reaction and even you had me laughing😂 cannot wait to see your reaction to the sequel!! "I'll be back" 😎
I say “killer boots, man” all the time. The cardigan pull over line is just so funny to me
First, I wanted to say that you are getting very comfortable in front of the camera and it's great. 2nd, I'm 46, have seen this movie probably 100 times, and I still laugh 😂🤣. So don't apologize for your sense of humour 😋
"I'm sorry"
. . .
"No, I'm not"
Straight savage there, love ya Whimmy!
"I'll do a quick outro" 14 minutes later . . .
i've used the line "he must work out" a lot through the years. Often do "the most annoying sound in the world" bit. and you often mentioned the odd music... this is one of my favorite soundtracks.
The toilet scene gets me every time.🤣🤣🤣
The same with the camp fire scene in Blazing Saddles.🤣🤣🤣
5:33 this is Lloyd in a nutshell, too dumb to know that you don't thank someone by insulting them 😂 this is one of my favs, these two make a dream team for comedy! another great reaction! 👍
When you mentioned that Lloyd and Harry are not afraid to look ugly, it reminded me about Carrey's tooth. That is an actual chipped tooth that he has had since childhood; he usually has a dental cap on it.
The line I’ve used most since first seeing this as a kid would be. “So your saying there’s a chance…”
When Loyd and Harry are feeding the pepper to the assassin the background song “the bear song” by Green Jelly is a song I still sing to myself when ever I am by myself. I have 2 of their albums and have fond memories of it as a kid. “Kick his ass sea bass!” Is some thing me and my friends used to yell at each other in high school.
When they did "Dumb and Dumber To" in 2014, they had someone driving that Mutt Cutts van around various cities for promotion. It drove past me while I was waiting to cross the street in Toronto and I nearly died laughing.
The Jim Carrey gagging as he's fighting back tears made me laugh so much when I first saw that as a child. It was one of those moments when I realised nobody else can do what this guy does. I love your post analysis btw. I was about to write "you've never gagged when you are fighting back tears?", and then you explained the odd reaction
Funny fact..
"Want to hear the most annoying sound?" Was improvised too. The other actor wasn't expecting it, but played it good.
Nice reacting, please continue :) Also, you gotta watch Cableguy and Me, Myself and Irene, they're great Carrey movies.
The movie is still funny even today! Not many comedy movies are like this one! I liked the connection between the two actors! No mistake! Freaking perfect! They were like brothers in this movie! And yes! Your right! The soundtrack is pretty cool and very recognizable!❤
My dad and I used to go watch movies at our favourite theater (now long gone), and can attest that a 14 year old me and my dad both were laughing hysterically through out. I don't think some people ever tire of "juvenille" humour if it's done earnestly and if everyone is fully committed to the act. For myself, this is a landmark film of the Nineties, from the music to the comedy. I absolutely love the song that starts the film from Apache Indian "Boom Shak-a-Lack"; I can't help but dance. The song that you said seems familiar is also a personal favourite, and has been heavily featured in films throughout the years. It is from the amazing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and is called "Red Right Hand" and you probably know it from "Scream". Finally, you also made mention of the inestimable song "New Age Girl" by the band Dead Eye Dick. I had a friend in grade 10 that was absolutely obsessed with the song and I have fond memories of us sitting in Chemistry 10 and him playing the song for us on repeat on his yellow Sony walkman. Your reaction reminds me that like most things in life, moments are best shared and it was so great sharing this comedy with my dad, and now with you. Off topic but I really hope to see you react to the teen witch drama "The Craft" from a few years after this was released. It also has a Nineties soundtrack that I still have on repeat.
There is a sequel, it came out recently, a 20 year gap, same two main actors Dumb and Dumber Too, great reaction!
In the bathroom scene, that was a genuine reaction. The actor who played Sea Bass was having a hard time with the scene, so in that take, when he opened the stall door, Jim Carrey was there, mooning him.
So that's what convinced Whimsory that a non actor hockey player was a great actor 😂
Lauren Holly doesn't get enough credit for this movie. She's hilarious and classy and total "girl in the white dress". When are you seeing Citizen Kane? It's great.
"Superbad" is a classic 2000's immature highschool type movie with some very big names, which I would love to see you react too and discuss in your outro. And a wildcard from me would be "Bad Santa" which is a much darker comedy, not sure if you like darker comedies as well yet but again would love to see your reaction and outro. 😊
This movie came out when I was 12. My friends and I constantly quoted this movie!
I watched this dozens of times with my best friend growing up. We aren’t as close now but still text with lots of dumb and dumber gifs 😂
Quotable is an understatement. No one would shut up with it. Ever since Jim Carrey hit the comedy blockbuster scene, he's probably the most quoted/copied/meme-ed funnyman from the movies, ever. Most certainly from his era (don't quote me on that. Seriously). He's been meme-ed to death. That's why some people, myself included, have a hard time watching his older stuff. It's not even his fault. The guy is pure magic on screen.
You should really watch the first Ace Ventura. It was his break out role. Along with Liar Liar, and Me, Myself and Irene, it's his best work. Definitely his most '90s' movies.
17:37 "Don't say that! What did you even mean by that?!" He intended to say "rapier wit." A "rapier" is a thin, light sword good for fast and agile movements, so a "rapier wit" is quick and sharp.
1:33 » BOOM SHACK-A-LACK(A)!!! // (when a child, I ran around playing and singing this song all the time 😆)
Nice reaction. An under-rated Jim Carrey comedy to consider is "The Cable Guy," directed by Ben Stiller.
I love this movie, one of my favs.The comedic timing is just perfect.
Whimsory's delightful out-tro style is perfect for this movie and fun watching movies with Whimsory.
I remember watching this on a Sunday morning when I was a bit wee kid. Around what, 25 years ago. So many fun movies I've watched growing up 😊
I don't think I've heard such a thoughtful review of Dumb and Dumber before. Nice work. :)👍
I love watching your reactions Feels like I'm watching with you it's awesome so happy you enjoyed it love from France.
Hi Whimsory another great reaction,This is one of my top comedy movies of all time for other lowbrow comedies I recommend Kingpin (also from the Farrely brothers), Austin Powers, American Pie and The Naked Gun and Hot Shots The last 2 are spoofs of Cop movies and Top Gun respectively in the style of Airplane.Glad you had fun I did too.
One of my favorites. My buddies and I used to quote this movie all the time growing up. One line that I still say to this day is "suck me sideways!" And I remember that pooping scene used to have me in tears laughing. The faces and sounds he makes, so hilarious. And yes, the soundtrack for this movie is great. I love that "New Age Girl" song, the 'Mary Mo' song.
20:50: Here's a depressing thought if you're old enough to appreciate it: It was 25 years between the moon landing and Dumb and Dumber. It has now been 30 years since Dumb and Dumber came out.
Mary Christmas... that has a nice ring to it!
If you can believe it, back when Dumb and Dumber was released in theatres there was a novelisation published, written by Madeline Dorr, that softens some of the raunchier jokes and adds a few more dabs of clever wordplay.
Lloyd imagining Mary will marry him and take his last name is something Madeline Dorr included in her book.
Hi Whimsory, somehow I managed to miss the notification of your last review so I have had the great [pleasure in watching you two days in a row. Dumb and Dumber is the first of your reviews that I hadn't seen before and I am encouraged to watch the whole film myself. Thank you for another great video and keep up the excellent work Whimsory.
The two follow-up movies, Dumb and Dumberer (the prequel) and Dumb and Dumber To, are not well regarded. But this one is fondly remembered. Good, lasting humor has to be intelligently written, so while the characters are dumb, the writing isn't.
I've been recommending on every video of yours the Princess Bride and Imagine Me & You. Both are absolutely fun watches.
I saw this in the theater and it was non stop laughing by the audience.
I cannot wait for you to react to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Not a comedy, but IMO one of Jim Carrey's best movies, and one of my favorite movies ever.
I didn't know you were a plumber. This is now one of my favorite plumbing channels.
Had a friend in college who constantly quoted "So you're saying there's a chance!"
The ending with the tour bus is hilarious 😂
I've been watching this movie since I was 2 years old. My whole immediate family loves and quotes this movie. As a kid the toilet scene was my favorite, but as an adult it's way too hard to just pick one. "How's your burger?" And "Pretty bird" is quoted a lot for me. My mom and I both have a cat, and their named Harry and Lloyd, and are brothers. I went to my senior prom in the blue suit, as my brother was in the orange. This movie is such a nonstop funny movie. I was in Salt Lake City for a long weekend and found out most of the movie was shot there so I went to a lot of locations like the hot tub motel, Mary's house, the apartment, the 7-11, etc.
I loved watching this because I love seeing the genuine reaction if some reacting and loving something the same way I did when I first watched or listened to something that became such a part of my life. The sequel is ok to watch once or twice. It's funny but not that rewarchable. The prequel Dumb & Dumberer is a good watch once movie but is a lite cringey.
If you love 90's alternative music, the soundtrack of this movie is sooooo good. I have a CD and vinyl copy. Some songs in the movie are not in it sadly. Ihigh suggest to check it out.
7:42 I'm glad you pointed out the weird song. When we were very young, me and my brother used to giggle about that song everytime we watched this movie. Something about a "butt crack?" LoL wtf is this song?? 😂
hey I just want to say I saw you getting emotional during the having nobody part, and just want to say your going to make someone so happy someday and hopefully you will be as well. trust me
