    With Jim Carrey, there are no half measures. So you'll either love this as one of Carrey's finest moments or loathe it as a perfect example of mind-numbing Hollywood cinema. However, even the harshest critic will find it hard to suppress at least a couple of chuckles during this cheerfully moronic mix of slapstick, sight gags and toilet humour. Carrey and Jeff Daniels play two of the world's stupidest people who set off on a chaotic road trip when they try to return Lauren Holly's missing briefcase. Disengage the brain and enjoy.

    "Outstanding Comedy"

    This has to be one of the best comedies of the last decade; Jim Carrey plays this character spot on, and I think it's one of the best films he has made.

    Each time you watch it, it is just as funny, and never gets boring - just good all round comedy!!! This film doesn't come close to the sequel, so don't judge it on that, too.

    The Farrelly's Best

    It's not mature or clever, but the Farrelly's first (and best) outing is incredibly funny. The plot, a thinly-veiled cover for allowing Carrey and Bridges as many fart & piss jokes as possible, is that Lloyd Christmas (Carrey), a limo driver, falls in love with a woman, Mary Swanson (Holly) he drives to the airport. As he leaves, he sees her accidentally (or so he thinks) leave her suitcase in the airport. Being the hero that he is, he decides to follow her to Aspen, California (or is it in France?), to return the suitcase to her. He goes home to his friend Harry Dunn (Daniels), who just lost his job as a.. dog transporter? and convinces him to go on the road trip with him. So ensues many mishaps, arguments and the death of a man. But don't worry, that doesn't darken the tone in the lightest, in fact, it's quite funny. You may feel like it's wrong to laugh (out very loud) at the toilet humour on show here, but go ahead, it's not frequent that a movie lives up to it's moronic title.

    The Farrellys have tried, and failed, even with their bigger hit 'There's Something About Mary' to top this. How they managed to get a great comedic performance from typically, a dramatic actor, Jeff Daniels, I'll never know. This was also the movie that catapulted Jim Carrey into stardom, before 'Ace Ventura' and 'The Mask'. A comedic gem.

    Still cracking...

    Still a great, great film, although it almost seems tame now after all the gross-out movies that followed it.

    I must have seen this movie 15 times now and I still laugh out loud. Jim Carrey at his idiotic best, and Jeff Daniels is superb as his dim-witted sidekick.

    Classic buddy road trip film!

    This is the quintessential buddy film.

    Two idiots on a road trip to find a girl. Jim Carey at his ridiculous best. A perfect film to watch after a hard days work, when your brain no longer works!
