Dumb and Dumber To: The Ultimate Buddy Movie with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels



All three movies in the Dumb and Dumber collection are part of the same series. Dumb and Dumber was the first movie to be released, with Dumb and Dumberer arriving second (as a prequel) and Dumb and Dumber To arriving third (as a sequel).

The Dumb and Dumber movies are the work of three directors. Peter Farrelly directed Dumb and Dumber, while Bobby and Peter Farrelly directed Dumb and Dumber To, and Troy Miller directed Dumb and Dumberer.

Imbecile roommates Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) give up their low-profile jobs and their dreams of opening a worm store to track down a lovely acquaintance of Lloyd's named Mary (Lauren Holly) and return to her the briefcase she left at the airport. Little do they know that Mary ditched the case on purpose, that it's full of ransom money, and that the pair of thugs sent to retrieve it are hot on their tail. Bumbling along in a van revamped to look like a sheepdog, Lloyd and Harry avoid being murdered several times over by sheer dumb luck. They arrive in Aspen, find Mary, and become entangled in a clumsy kidnapping plot, but the true test of their friendship comes when the two friends enter into a competition for the same girl's affection.


In October, we reported that Jim Carrey was set to reteam with co-star Jeff Daniels for the sequel Dumb and Dumber To, but that apparently won't be the case. According to ETonline, Carrey has decided not to reprise his role as Lloyd Christmas. The actor was reportedly "frustrated" by the lack of enthusiasm on the part of Warner Bros. "I would have thought Dumb and Dumber To was a no-brainer," Carrey said in a statement to ETonline, "after all it's implied in the title." Original writer-directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly were going to produce and direct the sequel with Sean Anders (That's My Boy) and John Morris co-writing the script.Hit the jump for more.Without Carrey, it doesn't seem like there's much point in carrying on, especially if WB was never that gung-ho about the project in the first place. Unless the Farrelly came up with some killer recasting or some creative way to bring in a new character, audiences probably won't turn out if they're not going to see both Carrey and Daniels dumbing it up. The prequel, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, absolutely tanked, although its worth noting that no one from the original was involved in that film. Dumb and Dumber To was set to be the Farrelly Brothers' next movie, so now we'll see if the duo plans to move on or keep plugging away at the sequel.For fans wondering when they're going to see Carrey back in broad-comedy mode, he'll next be seen alongside Steve Carell in the magician comedy Burt Wonderstone, which opens in 2013. He's also teaming up with Borat director Larry Charles for the heist comedy Pierre, Pierre.


There have been hundreds of mainstream movies, from Stargate to Day of the Dead filmed in Colorado. See if you can spot any local scenes next time you watch one of the following movies. Check out this eclectic mix of movie locations that you can visit on a road trip, which really make the most of what the state has to offer.


Leaving Las Vegas was in many ways much more aligned with Daniels' earlier dramatic performances that he delivered before he made Dumb and Dumber. The film told the story of a suicidal alcoholic who wants to move to Nevada after losing his family and job - along the way he ends up falling in love with a prostitute. Although the concept of watching Carrey and Cage be ridiculously dumb, take after take, sounds incredibly appealing, Cage would have never been able to make Leaving Las Vegas, which was a film that he was very passionate about.


Dumb and Dumber is a 1994 American buddy comedy film directed by Peter Farrelly, who co-wrote the screenplay with Bobby Farrelly and Bennett Yellin. It is the first installment in the Dumb and Dumber franchise. Starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, it tells the story of Lloyd Christmas (Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Daniels), two dumb but well-meaning friends from Providence, Rhode Island, who set out on a cross-country trip to Aspen, Colorado, to return a briefcase full of money to its owner, thinking it was abandoned as a mistake though it was actually left as a ransom. Lauren Holly, Karen Duffy, Mike Starr, Charles Rocket, and Teri Garr play supporting roles. 2ff7e9595c
