I loved this movie when it came out, and I was 15. I've come to not find it nearly as funny now when I'm 45, especially when I saw the trailer for Dumb And Dumber 2 and wasn't finding myself laughing at those clips. And the one clip I found hilarious was the dream sequence where the waiter had his stones used as a training bag.

@@josh72456 No Clint Eastwood randomly went up to Jeff Daniels and told him that the toilet scene happened to him in real life. While they were at some fundraiser golf tournament thing. Started laughing, and just walked away. Then some years later when Eastwood cast him in a movie he was directing he told Daniels he offered him the part because 'If you can do 2 Days in the Valley and you can do Dumb & Dumber, you can do this.' I love the idea that despite Eastwood on the outside for the past 30 years looks like he's a grumpy old grandpa who has seen it all. Lived during a much tougher era and doesn't seem like the kind of guy who in a million years would watch a movie called Dumb and Dumber and. Not only can appreciate it, but understood exactly why Daniels did Dumb and Dumber to begin with. Daniels wanted to avoid getting type cast and more importantly he wanted to have a career as an actor rather than having to do the work of being a movie star. To use his word it was his way to become a "hired-gun" genre be damned so long as the script is good. And he didn't mention him by name but from an young age he wanted to avoid ending up in a situation like Liam Neeson who after Taken which was great. Got boxed in and had to do more and more action movies each one worse than the next. And in a lot of cases those type of actors having to go under the knife to not look your age and be on all kinds of "medication" to keep on doing it.

In order to ensure a no from him, they offered Daniels $50,000 for the role. He accepted without any hesitation nor did he attempt to negotiate, despite insistence from his agent the film would "kill his career." By 1994, the film was Daniels' most successful.

However, after viewing the dailies and constant insistence from Carrey that a real actor (as opposed to a comedian) play opposite him to "ground him," the studio ultimately allowed Daniels to keep the role.

I think calling it "dumb" is misunderstanding it. I think most of the humor is very smartly done. A lot of the biggest comedians consider it their favorite movie. I think people similarly misunderstand Tim & Eric as just "dumb" because they don't really "get" the anti-humor. I think most anti-humor doesn't work very well, but Tim & Eric have mastered it.

Harland Williams' "dolphin having a stroke" reaction to drinking the beer was actually improvised by him right before shooting. He mentioned it recently on a podcast (maybe his own podcast? I forget). He actually said it *was* a sort of "dolphin" noise that he had done as a random joke earlier on set, and I think one of the Farrellys randomly suggested he do something like that for the scene - they kinda just told him to do whatever, even though this was like his very first movie - I think they happened to notice him doing stand-up shortly before the movie shoot and immediately liked him. He talked about how he basically started getting steady work as soon as he got to Hollywood - people just really loved his stand-up immediately.

Another Fun Fact: Following the release of this movie, Jim Carrey and Lauren Holly did get married in real life, but the marriage only lasted a year.

@nsasupporter7557 Ай бұрын

Not even that long. They were only married like 10 months approximately

15:50 - 16:00 NC: No, really. This might be the most demented character Carrey has ever played! That’s saying a lot considering that what’s looking to be his last role before retirement is a mad scientist wanting to rule the multiverse with a wicked mustache and constantly fighting a blue rodent.

I still quote this movie, i can recite the entire thing from memory. My favorite scene is when Lloyd loses his wallet to the old lady, goes home defeated and shouting "Our pet's HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!" gets me everytime. Honorable mention goes to the Extra Gloves scene, "...extra gloves? You've had this pair of extra gloves this whole time?" "...yeah! We're in the Rockies!"

Fun fact: Jeff Daniels was offered only $50,000 to appear in the film because the executives were trying to get him to turn down the role. Jim Carrey had asked for him personally so they were trying to get away without having him in the film, but to their dismay he accepted immediately and so they were stuck with him in the role. Turns out Carrey was right and Jeff was perfect for the role.

@sramspoker Ай бұрын

About Jim Carrey not shooting the final scene. The version I heard is not getting on the bus was the way the Farely Brothers wanted it, but the studio wanted them to shoot it both ways, giving them power force the less funny ending. The Farelys talked about this over with Jim, and it was kind of a wink wink, "Oh no! Sorry studio! Jim Carrey our big star refused to shoot it the other way! Guess we gotta go with this ending!"

Fun fact(s): Lauren Holly (Mary) actually married Jim Carrey in 1996. Also, Jeff Daniel’s agent begged him not to do the movie because they thought it would “ruin” his career. But several Golden Globes, Emmy, Tony Award nominations later…he seems to be doing alright.
