They've just lost their jobs, are late on the gas bill again , and make the best of a bad situation by returning a briefcase they've recovered to its rightful owner, an attractive woman named Mary Lauren Holly. And Lloyd Carrey , has fallen madly in love with Mary after driving her to the airport. It just so happens that Mary lives all the way across the country, in Aspen, Colorado or is it California?
Sure its crazy and stupid, but they've got nothing to lose, so they take off in their 84' sheepdog. And let's face it, if we were them, we'd go too. Dumb and Dumber was not pretentious, the actors never made you feel like they were in on the joke.
No, they played it with a straight face the whole way through, and that's really the best way to do comedy. Even when they aren't speaking, their body language alone is enough to elicit huge laughs. The reactions and facial expressions are perfect. The film wasn't warmly received by a lot of critics, but only because they couldn't lower their snouts long enough to realize that this was not another movie about dumb guys, but really a film about earnest guys.
And they are pathetically funny just being themselves. They play stupid games in the car to pass the time, and sing aloud to keep from getting bored, and have crazy dreams of one day opening up a worm store. The movie plays out with a high spirit and feel good attitude that can't be matched. And the soundtrack is perfect; it really sets the tone and never feels out of place.
Really, truly, without a doubt, the best comedy ever made. I will treasure this movie forever, and even when I watch it the st time, I know it'll make me laugh The film is well paced and has a spontaneous nature that lacks in most comedies. Behind all the stupidness, there is a real glow of brilliance.
The fact is, more than all the goofiness and crazy antics, "Dumb and Dumber" is a film full of smarts, and that's what we end up admiring the most. FAQ 8. What is Dumb and Dumber about?

In , he accompanied his best friend and roommate Lloyd Christmas on a cross-country trip to Aspen to deliver a briefcase to Mary Swanson.
Twenty years later, he and Lloyd would travel on the road again in search of his potential long-lost daughter. Harold Avery "Harry" Dunne is an incredibly nebbishy, oafish, giggly, cute, danger-prone, ignorant, infantile, bubbly, ditsy, and naive gentleman.
He is a best friend to the doubly immature Lloyd Christmas. However, at his core, he is sweet towards others, and has a loving, sweet, kind, gracious, free, and gentle spirit. In the second film, his skinnier frame transforms into a rather pudgier one. However, the change of his appearance does not hide his charisma and beauty. On some things, he is a tad smarter and more logically minded than Lloyd. Not only is he more literate, as shown in the first film , he is quite aware that it would be inappropriate maybe even illegal for Lloyd to date , never mind to marry , a woman 20 years his junior as shown in the second.
Harry is also a breathtakingly alluring and handsome man, and it shows, as he charms Beth Jordan, a woman who worked with the FBI, posing as a desperate lady running from her boyfriend , and even Mary Swanson, much to Lloyd's chagrin, of course!
He and his friend also allure several swimsuit models on the Hawaiian Tropics Bus as demonstrated at the end of the first film.
