“Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?”
I sat down and watched a movie that I probably haven’t seen since I was a little kid. I remember renting the film and watching it with the family on the living room television. Of course, I am talking about the goofy buddy comedy known as Dumb and Dumber, and I have to say that this movie still holds the test of time as a classic comedic adventure.
Here’s the thing about this movie. It’s quotable as fuck. But also, once you get through the first act and you get the premise and you’ve suspended your disbelief and you are in the state of a watching a film, once you’re in the thick of watching this movie, you are straight up belly laughing at the goofy shit these two are doing.
“So you’re saying there’s a chance?” is by far one of the funniest lines in cinema history. The line, itself, has become a part of Internet culture. Out of context, it’s a hilarious line to break out. But in the context of the film—you are in stitches. That, my friends, is the magic of storytelling.
“Hey guys! Oh, big gulps, huh? Alright…welp! See ya later!”
Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey take on these roles in such a funny way and the best part is that you aren’t supposed to be taking any of it seriously. Jim Carrey actually had a cap removed from his front tooth for the film so he could look goofier. This film is a gift and that’s all there really is to say. An entry point into Farrelly Brother’s films and a gateway into slapstick comedy in general.
