    Dumb and Dumber is a 1994 American buddy comedy film directed by Peter Farrelly, who cowrote 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.

      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.

    Another Fun Fact: According to the Farrelly brothers, Jeff Daniels wasn't wanted for the film, but Jim Carrey wanted him in 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.

To this day, he vows to never go back and won't tell anybody why.

    Fun fact about the film. Sea Bass is played by Cam Neely, a winger who used to play for the Boston Bruins. He even admitted during on a podcast that the scene where he runs into Jim Carrey at the truck stop bathroom, he had to do like 30 takes because the reaction he was given wasn’t surprising enough. After a brief conversation with him, the very next take, Jim Carrey ended up mooning him and Cams reaction to it was the take they used.

    Another Fun Fact: According to Jeff Daniels, none of the scenes between Jim Carrey and himself were filmed during the first week of production because the studio was fully prepared to replace him in the role, even going so far as to have a comedian on standby waiting to take the role. 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 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.
