Are the sequels any good?

(Vader Voice) NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! But the more articulate response: There was one prequel where they hired lookalikes to play the main characters but low-key tried to mislead people in the marketing. I didn't see the sequel, but most of those who saw the movie that I talked with disliked it.
If you're interested in seeing more Jeff Daniels, Terms of Endearment is a must-watch (warning: it's a tearjerker). He was also pretty good in the TV movie Gettysburg (the film takes liberty with some of the history, and is a touch Lost-Causey, but the movie has top-tier acting from a lot of top-tier actors).
@@glenngalloway6191 I agree with your thoughts about Gettysburg. I used to really like it until I read a bunch about the Civil War. I like it less now, but it's still OK.
Honestly... No. The prequel (Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd) wasn't very good. And the sequel (Dumb & Dumber To) is better than the prequel but not as good as this movie.
Off topic does Canada have the greatest gravy fries or has Ryan Reynolds lied? Need a natural Canadian's honest opinion?
No, not really.
The fact that Jim Carrey released this, The Mask and Ace Ventura in the same year is more than most people's entire careers. Absolutely insane!
He he did the final season of in living color the same year. Jim a special talent
A great time to be in the Marine Corps as well. All those movies were quoted so much, we never had a lack of smart-ass things to say.
this is such a brilliant point!
@@crewchief5144 What has being in the Marine Corp got to do with this comedy film?
I bet you're one of those "Thank me for my service" folk who can't help but bring up the fact that they were in some military unit in every conversation.
@@nebularain3338 the comment explained why, you instead chose to be an asshole.
If Mary Swanson and Lloyd Christmas had ever gotten married, her new name would have been Mary Christmas.
Lloyd joked about that in a deleted scene that was found on the uncut version. Funny enough Lloyd and Mary were married in real life. But divorced soon after one year
I’m honestly not as big a fan of the uncut version, except when Harry is trying to dump Mary’s toilet out the window.
@@everyonelovesmajima I didn't like the uncut version as much either because alot of the scenes were either unnecessary or way too disturbing to watch.
When I saw it I thought, you can see why they cut these bits. They didn’t flow right or fit the feel of the movie.
Ironically, Jim and Lauren Holly, got married as they dated while shooting this movie. So technically they could say there were Mary Christmas.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a great example of Jim Carrey’s acting chops.
Man on the Moon is soo underrated
@@mikethemotormouth"Hello. I am Andy. Party time for Latka?"
The Truman Show is still his masterpiece imho, sounds like we're about to get Jen's reaction to that one here soon, can't wait!
@@mikethemotormouth And the documentary called "Jim & Andy The Great Beyond" about the making of it is pretty interesting. 20 years after the movie Jim Carrey voices some regrets about his obsessive acting style for the film. That one is on Netflix by the way.
"I'm sick and tired of having nobody" hits so hard, and out of nowhere. And in THIS movie. He plays it so sincerely that it smacks you in the face a little bit.
😢
"I'm sick and tired of having nobody" was the hymn of 90s proto-Incels.
@@scipioafricanus5871 incels is just terminology created by losers that want to label people they don't know. They obviously have had girlfriends, they talk about them in the film, which means they've gotten booty, so get out of here with that stupid, childish phrase.
"You better not be foolin"
Found the incel simp@@scipioafricanus5871
10:06 "You little pumpkin pie haircutted freak" always kills me! 🥧
I still call my little nephews that sometimes
Harland Williams. Always thought of him as a cross between Norm Macdonald and Tom Green in terms of delivery so must be a Canadian thing
@@adammichener987 💀💀💀💀
“ our pets heads are falling off!” Never fails to make me laugh loudly.
18:39 "Hey guys, woah, Big Gulps huh? Alright...welp, see ya later" was totally improvised by Carrey and they left it in.
Jim chipped his tooth at a young age, and he had the plastic removed for the movie 🙂
I was thinking he chipped it just for this movie.
huh, i thought it happened during filming.
same with Brad Pitt in Fight Club
@@deathtoraiden2080 Nope, it happened during a fight with a classmate in his childhood, he got it capped but removed it for the movie as it fit his character.
"The wicked witch! Riding on the little motorcycle!"
The fade to Lloyd cackling at Harry's misfortune is such a great joke already, but the wicked witch theme and his little scooter make it all the funnier.
Jen laughing is a joy to behold. 😃
Well that's not negative at all. I agree, very well said!
In case no one's brought this up yet... Clint Eastwood was talking to Jeff Daniels about this movie, he said "The bathroom scene... that happened to me." 🤣
I can honestly say... its happened to me too. Not on a date though, but yeah... not pleasant (although for me it wasnt from 'Turbo Lax' but a bit of the deli belly).
@@NZBigfoot Oh... I thought the other bathroom scene. With Seabass.
You skipped the best line of the movie "we got no food, we got no jobs, our pets heads are falling off!!!" 🤣
Kept getting copyright claimed 🤷♀️
@jenmurrayxo that line did? That sucks but makes sense. It's easily my favorite line lol
What is better than Jen vibing to the music, being happy to see a dog, and/or doing her grampa wheeze? It's seeing her have a good laugh! 😂 You're a great reactor Jen and we appreciate the job you do. Much love from New-Brunswick
"Pills are good... pills are good!!!"
I think about so many random lines from Dumb & Dumber so often 😅
Samsonite! I was way off!
Your hands are freezing!
I quoted lines from this movie for years, still do lol
My favorite is "I thought the Rocky Mountains would be a little rockier than this" and I always have to complete the follow-through with "That John Denver is full of shit"
Just imagine hearing that from a doctor at the ER
I believe this film is a Masterpiece, on par with a Shakespearian comedy of errors
The writing, the subtlety of the performances, the clever stupidity
it all adds up to one of the most densely funny comedies ever written
Dante's Peak is a good movie. My unreasonably attractive science teacher showed it to us in class when we were studying volcanoes. Don't remember a thing about it.
it's awesome you should rewatch it
Just disaster p0rn.
Ace Ventura is absolutely another you have to check out! Total classic Jim Carrey! And bonus, tons of animals in it! Right up your alley for sure!
Fun fact. I hope no one said it yet.
The Big gulp scene where Jim Carrey's walking out of the 7-Eleven type store. Those aren't extras. They were a couple guys just hanging out in front of the convenience store at that moment.
Don’t worry it will be said at least a dozen times In the comment section every dumb and dumber video people have to bring this up
Nobody likes fun facts!
@@pleaseshutup7053because it's iconic and the person watching the movie for the first time won't know that
@@pleaseshutup7053 But did you know that when Aragon kicks the helmet in Two Towers the scream is real because he broke his toe?🤔
@@timhawryluk2436 🤯
The big, tough trucker guy at the cafe…the “Sea Bass” character is played by Cam Neely, an NHL Hall of Famer. One of the best power forwards to ever play…and he was/is huge. 6’3” 235lbs when he played. A no joke, huge tough guy and hardcore player, who also scored a bunch. He was a huge star in hockey when this came out. He’s now the president of the Boston Bruins (the team he famously played for).
These directors are huge New England area sports fans and they put a lot of star athletes (especially guys who play in New England/northeast part of the US) in their movies in small roles.
The cop who drank from the bottles his Canadian comedian Harland Williams. He is also in the movie Something About Mary.
He is also in Down Periscope with Kelsey Grammer and Lauren Holly, a funny screwball comedy.
and Half Baked! Kenny's sweet virgin ass man lmfao
In half baked, plays Kenny, the guy who feeds the diabetic how food to much food and goes to jail.😅
Seven chipmunks twirlin’ on a branch! Eatin’ lotsa sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch!
7 minute abs 😂
That hotel where Harry and Lloyd stay is the Stanley Hotel which was Stephen King's inspiration for The Shining. Jim Carrey even stayed in the infamous haunted room 217.
You got the movie facts correct, the Stanley Hotel was never actually in the Shining, despite what everyone seems to believe.
It was in the made for TV adaption of The Shining. Timberline Lodge in Oregon was used for the outside shots in the movie.
And did you know that all the interior shots in the Shining were an almost *exact* recreation (in England) of the interior of a historic hotel in California(!) that you can visit today?
When Jim came out of the store the two guys with Big Gulps were random people who were not supposed to be there. He played along with it and it made it into the movie! The comment about the moon landing was all him and was not in the script~!
Ironically, he did the movie 'Man on the Moon' five years later.
That was Jim Carrey's real front tooth! He chipped it when he was a teen and had it capped. He thought he would look even 'dumber' if he removed it for the film. 😁
"Were the Monkees really and influence on The Beatles?"
no...
"an" influence
When I was a kid, whenever a Monkees song came on the radio, I would say "OMG I love the Beatles!" just to irritate all the Beatles fans. Works just as good the other way around too.
That song at the beginning which creeped you out was Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
The female lead was Carrey's GF, soon to be wife at the time.
Daniels was also in Speed and Arachnaphobia.
When Lloyd & Harry call the waitress Flo, that was a reference to an old TV sitcom called Alice (1976-1985) It was about 3 waitresses working @ a diner. Loved it when I was little
Jeff Daniels is also an extraordinarily versatile actor. This is the same man who plays the uptight humourless director of NASA in The Martian.
When Lloyd & Harry call the waitress Flo, that was a reference to an old TV sitcom called Alice - it was about 3 waitresses who worked in a diner. It ran from 1976 to 1985.
"His head fell off"
"Well, he was old"
I still use this all the time
There is nothing better, and no better end of the day and workweek pick-me-up, than watching Jen react to a comedy. This was exactly what I needed today.
Another perfect reaction. You are one of the best in the biz.
Thanks! :)
Imagine the sound guys doing “research” and editing the toilet scene! 😂
"OUR PETS' HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!!!" gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣
I've now watched this reaction at least six times. The best part of the reaction is when the guys are in the dog van with "Mental," the hit man -- and the absolute best Jen moment OF ALL TIME is her reaction to Jim Carrey's "most annoying sound in the world." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jen, "should I watch Dante's Peak?"
Yes, please
You're one of my favorite reactors and you clearly enjoyed this one. Great stuff, Jen! Your laugh is so infectious!
The step-mother Helen is played by the amazing Teri Garr. You should definitely see her in "Mr. Mom" with Michael Keaton, with Richard Dreyfuss in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Tootsie" with Dustin Hoffman and with Gene Wilder in "Young Frankenstein".
Unfortunately, she confirmed in 2002 that she has MS and has worked very little sense.
She is one of my favorite actresses and has had several memorable roles. Also, catch some of her amazing interviews with David Letterman. They had wonderful chemistry.
Close Encounters is on Jen's channel. Agreed, Teri Garr was always great as a frequent guest on Letterman.
Absolute peak of Jim Carrey. This one, Ace Ventura movies, Cable Guy and Mask.
Actually Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Dumb And Dumber and Mask all came out in 94. Freakin insane.
He can be very good in dramatic roles. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Number 23, Man On The Moon and The Truman Show. He can act.
Both the "Hey Big Glups" and the "We Landed on the Moon" were just added by Carey improve style. In both cases it was suppose to be shot of him walking by. They both made it in the final film and are quoted by fans often.
18:39 "Hey guys, woah, Big Gulps huh? Alright...welp, see ya later" was totally improvised by Carrey and they left it in.
Not only was Jim Carrey in a Dirty Harry movie, as someone mentioned, so was Felton Perry who plays Detective Dale in this. In Magnum Force, he was Harry’s partner, and had a little trouble when he opened his mailbox…
I don’t know if I like watching this more or hearing you laugh 🤣🤣 You crack me up🤣🤣
My favourite moment is the most annoying sound scene, watch back and look closely at Jeff Daniels about to corpse (as it was improvised) and see how they quickly edit it!
Jim Carrey is an incredible actor, it'a worth watch ALL of his dramas, even the bad ones lol
Great Ones to watch:
Truman (obvi)
Eternal Sunshine (obvi)
Man on the Moon (Amazing)
I Love You Phillip Morris (great)
The Majestic (good)
Also Comedies just in case: Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty, Liar Liar (All the same Director)
The Truman Show is coming next week!
Don't forget Me, Myself and Irene
His movie "Cable Guy" seems to get not much love from fans who think it was a bit dark compared to his other comedies but I think it's one of his most iconic if underrated film and it even has Matthew Broderick, Ben Stiller and Jack Black in it. But "The Number 23" is his darkest movie yet.
@@johnlloyddy7016 Yep. Two of his best.
The guy that played the baddy, Charles Rocket, lived half a mile from where I grew up. In junior high I was close friends with his younger brother. I visited the house one time, and it scared the s**t out of me. My friend claimed the house was haunted, and said the family would hear footsteps in the attic and doors closing on their own.
My friend also claimed that the family were descendants of Abraham Lincoln. My friend had a portrait of Abraham Lincoln in his bedroom, and the eyes would follow you as you walked. That was enough to convince me that something was deeply wrong with the house, and I never visited again. One and done.
I remember being introduced to one of his older brothers; I'm pretty sure it was Charles.
What a shame that Hollywood chewed him up and spat him out.
I worked with Jeff Daniels in 1999 on a film made exclusively for A&E called "The Crossing" in which I played one of the soldiers for his George Washington.
I see this the movies twice. I was 13 when it came out. It’s still the hardest I’ve ever heard a movie crowd laugh.
I heard the "most annoying sound in the world" was a dig at a Steven Tyler performance 😂
Love it when you get the giggles, Jen! Yes, watch the 2 Ace Ventura movies, but I think the funny Jim Carrey movie for you is The Mask. I strongly recommend that one for you. See ya Sunday!
Hi Jen and happy Friday!! This is one of Jim Carrey's 3 BIG hits from 1994; Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, Ace Ventura. The year that made his career.
Have fun and a great weekend!
Jim Carrys best performances can be found in Man on the Moon, Eternal Sunshie of the Spotless Mind, Lemony Snickets and a Series of Unfortunate Events, and Kickass 2.
Special mention - Earth Girls are Easy.
Not sure if anyone already told you... But yes.. Jim Carey chipped his tooth when he was younger and he had it fixed. So Jim Carey had the Idea that it would be funnier if he had his chipped tooth again for this role.. so he had that piece removed just for the movie and re-fixed it after filming. So yeah.. real chipped tooth.. and he was right.. Made it that much funnier! lol
Jen, I was just about to go and get productive, then I saw this reaction. Drat!
I love the moment when Carrey turns the mood 180 degrees in a second with that "Im sick and tired of having nobody" bit. That boy can act, I tells ya.
Last time I saw this movie is over 20 years ago, I forgot how funny it is, thanks Jen
How have you not watched this??!! Can’t wait!
The Farrelly Brothers have done this movie, Kingpin, There’s Something About Mary, and Me, Myself and Irene to name a few.
And the woman getting her dogs from Harry, Lynn Shea, has been in almost all of the Farrelly Brothers movies.
Great reaction, Jen. The sequel and prequel are both good fun as well. Yes, please do react to "The Mask", another winner from Jim Carey.
Hey there Jen, two of the cast in this one Lauren Holly and Harland Williams (the "beer" cop) work together in the Kelsey Cramer film "down periscope".... a great comedy.
Kelsey Cramer?
@@USCFlash I stand Corrected. Kelsey Grammer
@@adm.petercowell9573
No prob! 👍
It's the perfect comedy. Not a wasted scene or moment. So many amazing throwaway gags that are quite subtle as well. This is Carrey at the peak of his comedy for me. Nothing else he's done makes me laugh like this one does.
The Monkees were a direct parody of the Beatles, but Lloyd is of a Reddit level of intelligence.
I would imagine spicy food isn't as popular in Mooseland as it is in the southern USA. Most of us eat Tex Mex for 80% of our meals.
Bathroom scene: welcome to a Farelly Brothers movie.
Fun fact, the movie they got the scam from that they pulled on sea bass was Something Wild with Jeff Daniels
The best thing about this movie is Jeff Daniels. Jim Carrey had blown up at this point, but this was his first feature film where he shares the spotlight with someone else, and Jeff Daniels (who wasn’t know for comedy) keeps up with him the entire time, and never plays second fiddle. That said, the Big Gulp line was always my favorite, and from what I remember, it was completely improvised by Carrey.
The Truman Show was Jim Carrey’s break-out drama role, and kind of blew a lot of peoples’ minds, both with its story, and Carrey’s performance. Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind is also worth a watch. I’m a little biased on that one, because I absolutely adore Kate Winslet, and think she and Jim Carrey had great chemistry, though it’s not really held in as high of a regard as The Truman Show these days.
Since I brought up Kate Winslet, I’d recommend The Reader, Little Children, Iris, and Heavenly Creatures. The last of which came out the same year as Dumb and Dumber (1994 was an amazing year; we’re lucky to have grown up when we did), and was Peter Jackson’s first real foray into drama, after doing low budget body horror up until that point (and going on to do the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Get Back).
This is completely random, but “The Reader” reminded me of “The Believer”, from 2001. It’s one of Ryan Gosling’s first dramatic roles, in which he plays a Jewish neo-nazi (based on a true story). It’s probably a little too heavy and political to watch on your channel, but I think it’s one of the best films ever made about modern antisemitism and Jewish identity.
Oh yeah, and the best film of the aughts (just my opinion - but I’m correct in this instance) is Lost in Translation. You need to watch Lost in Translation.
I'm not going to disclose how I know this, but I can confirm that you can indeed ignite a fart with a lighter...
Hey Jen! Jim Carrey had actually chipped his tooth in grade school. He had the idea to take off the bonding revealing the chip, to make his character more deranged. The same thing happened to me. Same tooth, true story.
The Farrelly Brothers (Peter and Bobby) are also well known for their next three comedy films "Kingpin" (1996), a cult classic sports comedy starring Woody Harrelson, Bill Murray, Randy Quaid and Lin Shaye from the Insidious franchise, "There's Something About Mary" (1998), a well known romantic comedy classic starring Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon and Lin Shaye again, and "Shallow Hal" (2001), a pretty good but controversial gross out comedy starring Jack Black, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jason Alexander and Laura Kightlinger. Peter Farrelly would go on to direct "Green Book" (2018), which actually won Best Picture at the Academy Awards that year!
Jeff Daniels was in Speed from 1994. If you haven't seen that one it's absolutely great. It started the "Die Hard on a ..." trend by spending most of the movie in one place and just taking that to the limit.
The soundtrack for this movie is an alt-rock classic.
The rare film that literally lives up to its title. Carrey had a capped front tooth - hence the damaged one in the film. The Monkees was a pre-Fab Four - *(so no not an influence for The Beatles - just the opposite). Re: Jeff Daniels in comedy (you need to see SOMETHING WILD with Melanie Griffith & Ray Liotta, Stat) When Daniels worked with Clint Eastwood on BLOODWORK Clint confessed the bathroom scene actually happened to him IRL.
"Would that really work?" Yes, Jen. Yes it really works!
16:59 "They were driving an '84 Sheepdog."
Probably the most _conspicuous_ vehicle on the road.
Hilarious! 😂 Great reaction. 💜
I like 'Kingpin' (1996), which is a Farrelly Bros sports comedy, it's a bit gross at times though. Sweet at other times. Good cast.
Oh.. one more thing. Me personally.. I still like the sequel.. it's a fun watch! Also... To me... the prequel is Hilarious! The two younger guys playing Harry and Lloyd do a DAMN GOOD JOB portraying the characters and how Jim and Jeff played them! You would enjoy that one as well in my opinion! Still lots of laughs!! I hope you watch them!!
It is so hard to believe this film is now 30 years old. Another comedy classic worth a look is Me, Myself and Irene
We were eatin' good in the mid 90s with all these comedy movies with special thanks to Jim Carrey. I remember him being a guest on SNL in 1996 and it had to be one of the funniest episodes I had ever seen. He is a master of comedy.
I think you will LOVE the criminally underrated tucker and dale vs evil
This movie elevates pure idiocy to brilliance! Still my favorite comedy ever.
This movie is literally my childhood/teenage years captured in a bottle, so good to see it reacted to.
just popping by to leave a comment and a like . 10/10 reaction Jen loved this one , your laugh should be known as the eighth wonder of the world and it's in abundance in this awesome reaction 🔥" a dog " that always makes me smile Jen youre the kittens mittens ✨
The fantasy fight i the restaurant always makes me lol. 😂
8:25 funny how guilty Carrey acts here despite not actually having done it
Seabass was played by hockey player Cam Neely. The Farley Brothers are from Boston and often have players from those teams cameo in their films. Tom Brady is in Stuck on You.
I was a Sophomore in High School when this came out. It shaped my sophomoric sense of humor to this day.
This movie definitely won the annual wheeze award from Jen.
Your laughter in this reaction tops all others. True laughter is always appreciated.
The two guys drinking Big Gulps outside the convenience store actually wandered into the scene and Jim just interacted with them. 😂 Some UA-camr actually recreated the ride to aspen on a mini bike!
It's my favorite comedy movie of all time! It's brilliant.
Dante's Peak is a great overlooked disaster movie, featuring Linda 'Sarah Connor' Hamilton and Pierce 'Hello Jennypenny' Brosnan. It's lots of fun.
3:54 "Oh, god. Oh, man. He ran _right_ off there."
Yeah. When the ticket agent said, "Wait! Sir, you can't go in there!" what he meant was "The plane's not _there,_ anymore!"
There's a ton of great Farrelly Bros movies. This one is by far their dumbest, though we do love it. Most of their stuff is just as funny but with more heart. You almost have to ignore descriptions though, because their movies sound like they'll be awful and mean spirited, but they absolutely are not. Most are really heartfelt, but still hilarious. My favorites are the Ringer with Johnny Knoxville and Katherine Heigl,, and Stuck on You with Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear.
Jim Carey, actually has a chipped tooth, he went to his dentist and had the cap removed, just for the movie.
This movie was everyone's favourite back when I was at school.
Speaking of masks...
For a touching based-on--a-true-story film, Mask (1985), starring Eric Stoltz, Cher, and Sam Elliot.
The most ANNOYING thing EVER,not watching this reaction! 😊 thanks Jen, LOVED this one ❤ 😊...Eric
Great fun wasn't it, Eric? 😄
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. Sorry Adam, I had to leave the house. Yes, I love Jen's reactions to good comedies. How are things with you?
@@e.d.2096 Things are okay with me, thanks, Eric, how are things going with you my friend?
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. All is well. Somewhat staying in lately. The price of fuel is ridiculous. Starting to prepare for the hot months ahead. Other than that, nothing really going on.
@@e.d.2096 I'm so glad that all is well, the cost of fuel here is terrible too so, it's totally understandable you using your money wisely.
thats a big yes to Dantes Peak such a good film 😁
! A serious jim Carey film Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind with Kate Winslet a fantastic film.
Dante's Peak is awesome yes please watch it :)
0:21 Fun Fact: Jim Carrey actually chipped his tooth years ago and it was crowned/capped. The cap was removed for this movie.
yes! jen coming with a comedy banger this has to be top 5 can't wait to watch this with you
My dad and I both became big Jeff Daniels fans in the early 90s for completely different movies. He hated this one but Daniels played his favorite Civil War general, Joshua Chamberlain of the 20th Maine, in the film Gettysburg (1993). Some of my dad's ashes were even scattered at the 20th Maine monument in Gettysburg by his request. Jeff Daniels is an accomplished dramatic character actor. One of the best.
If I remember correctly, the movie Lloyd mentions after the Seabass scene was actually a reference to movie Jeff Daniels starred in previously.
My sister and I would quote "His head fell off!" all the time LOL!! I think that slip at the bar was real. You could see Jim Carrey look down at the ground after LOL! Also, the car ride scene, that anger in the dude was genuine. He was really mad during that shoot, because they kept having to do it over and over.
