Harry and Lloyd are two wonderful buddies who both happen to be idiots. The two embarked on a cross-country journey from Providence to Aspen, Colorado, in order to return a briefcase stuffed with cash to its rightful owner, a lovely woman called Mary Swanson. The two eventually make it to Aspen after a trip filled with mishaps. However, the two quickly learn Mary and her bag are the least of their concerns.
'Dumber And Dumber' was a box office surprise, generating more than $240 million against a $17 million budget, and is widely regarded as one of the finest comedies of the 1990s. It also generated a short-lived Hanna-Barbera animated TV series, a 2003 prequel film concerning Lloyd and Harry's high school days, and a 2014 sequel with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprising their roles.
In ‘Dumb And Dumber’, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels teamed-up as Lloyd Christmas (Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Daniels).
Along with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask, 'Dumb And Dumber' was one of a trio of 1994 films that helped put Jim Carrey on the map. Carrey went on to star in numerous more blockbuster comedies after playing Lloyd Christmas, including The Truman Show and Bruce Almighty, but he also received critical recognition for his tragic performances in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Man On The Moon.
Jeff Daniels,on the other hand, has acted in numerous films since his role as Harry Dunne in the Dumb And Dumber ensemble, including the lovely fantasy comedy Pleasantville and the psychological drama The Hours, as well as Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs biopic and Ridley Scott's sci-fi film The Martian. Daniels has also been praised for his roles in television dramas such as The Newsroom and The Looming Tower.
