About Dumb And Dumber

Dumb and Dumber (also as Dumb & Dumber) is a 1994 American comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. It was directed by the Farrelly Brothers and written by the Farrelly Brothers and Bennett Yellin. It is a prime example of a classic "road movie" and features slapstick comedy and gross-out humor. Dumb and Dumber contributed to the launch of a successful career for Jim Carrey and set the foundation for many Farrelly Brothers movies to come. It has a devoted cult following.

Lloyd Christmas is a limo driver who becomes infatuated with his passenger, Mary Swanson, as he drives her to the airport. Mary is heading home to her family in Aspen, after dropping off a briefcase with a large sum of cash at the airport terminal, as ransom money for her husband. Lloyd witnesses the drop-off, and, thinking Mary had lost the briefcase by mistake, intercepts the package before the kidnappers pick up their pay, dashing ahead of them to snag the briefcase. Lloyd is unable to catch Mary in time, and is left on the runway of the airport with briefcase in hand.

Harry Dunne, Lloyd's roommate, is in the pet grooming business, and has recently spent his life savings converting his van into a sheepdog. Both Lloyd and Harry quickly lose their jobs due to preventable accidents, and the two are distraught over their situation. Thinking Lloyd is a "professional" hired by the Swansons, or perhaps an FBI agent, the kidnappers exact revenge on Harry and Lloyd by tearing the head off of Harry's pet parakeet. Lloyd convinces Harry they should leave their messed up lives in Providence behind and head for Aspen to return the briefcase to Mary, unaware the locked briefcase contains enough money to support them both.
