I am a cringelord, I know. -but I had an idea for the live action Sonic movies where Princess Elise is a divorced mom in her 40’s who lives in Montana and runs an antique mall. One of those “secretly a princess from another world” stories! She has a chaos emerald and Eggman is after both it and her heart *sparkles*
Anyway, I’m gonna crawl in a hole now and die, bye bye
The third Jim Carey lead comedy of 1994. If his performances in The Mask or Ace Ventura weren’t going to solidify him as comedy mainstay then Dumb and Dumber would.
It was the first feature directed by the Farrelly brothers, who would go on to direct 11 featured over the next 20 years including There’s Something About Mary.
This is my favorite comedy of all time. It is endlessly quotable, the story is always moving forward, and they just pack so many jokes per minute. But here’s the thing. The brilliance of Dumb and Dumber, isn’t the big quotable lines, it’s the smaller ones. The ones right after that make the film perfect.
The line,“We’ve got no food. We’ve got no jobs. Our pet’s heads are falling off!” is the one everyone remembers. but Jeff Daniels saying “yeah, he was pretty old” that’s the line that gets me. It’s that subtlety. That makes this movie the best.
Dumb and Dumber was one of the highest grossing comedies of 1994 grossing over $247M worldwide, which wad quite a return on a $16M budget.
Yes Man: In which Jim Carrey discovers that he can say “Yes” to any strange suggestion without fear of reprisal because he’s a white man whose safety and power can never be undermined.
Is Zooey Deschanel a Manic Pixie Dream Girl? (Are you really asking this question?)
