Dumb and Dumber ______ REVIEWS Dumb and Dumber ________________________________________________________________________ BY ELLIOT BUCKLEY, 4th grade NEW YORK CITY — If you think you have had your “dumb” moments, you are nothing compared to the people in this movie. Trust me. Dumb And Dumber is a really funny movie about two men, Harry Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels Dunne [Acted by Jeff Daniels] and Lloyd Christmas [Acted By Jim Carrey] moving from Providence, Rhode Island to Aspen, This movie is not appropriate for Colorado. The only reason they’re everyone, but overall this movie review is moving is because Lloyd had a part time a 9.6/10. This is because the movie is job as a limo driver and then he was funny but when I watched it a month driving someone he liked named Mary later, it wasn’t as funny. I knew all the Swanson [Acted by Lauren Holly]. One jokes. But still this movie was my day, she dropped her suitcase for Joe favorite. Mentalino [Acted by Mike Starr] and Dumb and Dumber is a great then Lloyd picked it up. Then, this guy movie. In fact, on November 2014 Dumb followed him because the suitcase was and Dumber 2 came out. It was funny, his! but I have to agree with the other reviews, This movie might not sound funny, but the 1st was much better. But the worst is Lloyd and Harry are actually really funny the one I haven’t seen, it was Dumb And and dumb. For example, they traded their Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd. I custom car for a bicycle with training have been researching about it and it got wheels. In another scene, they were in the a 20/100 on rotten tomato. And it’s not middle of the desert and Lloyd sprayed even an official movie, it’s a fan made mouth spray in his mouth, but he did it movie. It doesn’t even have Jeff Daniels the opposite way! or Jim Carrey in it.

The younger sister, who had a boyfriend named Ned, always seemed to be dancing to the absurd music of her boyfriend (so funny!), and her sister, the star if there was any, was the only one who was embarrassed about her family. She wanted to become an actress, and was trying to really hard.

  • Who's Dumb? Who's Dumber? Beck Or Yates?
    Who's dumb? Who's dumber? Beck or Yates? Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune Not since Jim Carrey hooked up with Jeff Daniels have we seen a pairing quite like Bonneville County Republican Party Chairman Doyle Beck and state GOP Chairman Steve Yates. As in, you know, "Dumb and Dumber." First there's dumb: Beck has accused Yates and several other eastern Idaho Republicans of creating a "secret society" with the aim of ousting him from the local GOP chairmanship. Beck wanted to compel Yates and the others to answer questions under oath about a three-page outline titled "The Idaho Prosperity Project," which talked about raising $100,800 and spending it to "change the balance of power in Idaho politics to favor a stable, constructive majority." Had senior 7th District Judge Richard St. Clair last week not wisely blocked those attempts, it would have transformed a law meant to preserve the testimony of gravely ill witnesses into a political weapon and undermined the First Amendment. So Beck came up with Plan B - releasing a 39-minute videotape he surreptitiously recorded of his Nov. 22 conversation with Yates. Legal? Yes. Creepy? Definitely. But how weird is it to have Beck - who accuses other people of engaging in untoward clandestine behavior - going one better in the skulduggery department? And where's the smoking gun? Stick with this for 39 minutes and all you wind up with is a water pistol. Throughout their Q&A, Yates sounds like he may know some details of the insurrection against Beck and his supporters. Then Beck bores in on the key question: "But you're not a part of it." Yates: "I'm not.

Plater * Abstract: Surveying the history of citizen environmentalism in the context of environmental law and politics over the past fifty years, this essay hypothesizes five different categories of corporate, governmental, political, and individual actions that deserve to be called “dumb,” and the societal lessons that have been or could be learned from each. If there is truth to the wistful aphorism that “we learn from our mistakes,” then our society is in position to learn a great deal about our world and how it works, which perhaps provides some ground for hope for the years to come.

  • Green Book the Movies Love an Odd Couple; Dozens, If Not Scores, Of
    Green Book The movies love an odd couple; dozens, if not scores, of films have explored the opening friction and the eventual connection between two disparate characters. The latest, and it is a most satisfying one, is “Green Book,” a road movie showing how, in 1962, a lug from the Bronx and a Jamaican jazz pianist roamed the American South in a weeks-long concert tour. Viggo Mortensen as the tough guy and Mahershala Ali as the pianist carry off their contrasting roles with, respectively, raw charm and taut grace. The set-up is simple. A nightclub bouncer, Frank Vallelonga (Mortenson)—better known as “Tony Lip”--needs a job and hooks up, somewhat implausibly (although this is based on a true story), as a chauffeur for an erudite pianist, the real composer and performer Don Shirley. Their first encounter is a job interview at Carnegie Hall, where Dr. Shirley (Ali) resides, nicely presenting the gulf between the two men. Shirley’s tour will take him and his high-toned jazz trio for their first bookings in the South, still seriously segregated. Segregated enough that Tony must bring along the “Green Book,” a cautionary listing compiled for African-American travelers of where they will be welcome in the South. The film then becomes a road picture that takes us through the vagaries of their travels, where they encounter casual racism, blatant bigotry, appreciative audiences, and themselves. They fence, they bicker, they bond. They ultimately contribute to each other. Tony loosens Dr. Shirley up and protects him bodily in tense stand-offs and during breakdowns, while the latter introduces the former to artistic genius then also helps Tony to write touching letters to his wife Dolores (a lovely Linda Cardenelli).

  • Hall Pass – Bios for Prelim Notes
    HALL PASS Best buds Rick and Fred (Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) have both been married for many years. When they begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalize their marriages: they grant the guys a “hall pass,” one week of freedom to do whatever they want. No questions asked. At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred, but they quickly discover that their expectations of the single life—and themselves—are completely and hilariously out of sync with reality. “Hall Pass,” a new comedy from the Farrelly brothers (“There’s Something About Mary,” “Dumb and Dumber”), stars Owen Wilson (“Wedding Crashers,” “Marley & Me”) as Rick, and Jason Sudeikis (“What Happens in Vegas,” “Going the Distance”) as Fred. Jenna Fischer (TV’s “The Office”) stars as Rick’s wife, Maggie; Richard Jenkins (“Step Brothers”) as the guys’ old friend, perpetual bachelor Coakley; and Christina Applegate (“Going the Distance,” TV’s “Samantha Who?”) as Fred’s wife, Grace. “Hall Pass” is directed and produced by Peter Farrelly & Bobby Farrelly, from a screenplay by Pete Jones & Peter Farrelly & Kevin Barnett & Bobby Farrelly, story by Pete Jones. Re-teaming with the Farrellys are producer Bradley Thomas and executive producer Marc S. Fischer, who collaborated with the Farrellys on their hit comedies “There’s Something About Mary” and “Shallow Hall.” Also serving as executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Merideth Finn, with co-producers Mark Charpentier and John Rickard.

  • Dumb and Dumber: Reckless Encouragement 649
    D UMB AND DUMBER: RECKLESS ENCOURAGEMENT TO RECKLESS WRONGDOERS Daniel G. Moriarty* This paper discusses compound recklessness, i.e. situations in which one person’s heedlessness helps another to commit a reckless offense. The conviction of the second party, who actually commits the offense, poses no unique problem. Offenses committable through various forms of criminal negligence and recklessness, such as involuntary manslaughter, are routinely available in every jurisdiction. But conviction of the first party who recklessly provided the means or opportunity for the second party’s acts poses significant problems. Part I of this paper looks at several cases which present illustrations of the kind of situations encountered. In Part II, the paper considers some of the complications involved in reaching an appropriate resolution of this dilemma. Part II A considers complicity as a possible solution but concludes it is unavailable as it requires an intention to aid another, which is absent in cases of recklessness and negligence. Part II B considers whether principles of causation might be utilized, but concludes they, too, are unsuitable. The second party’s criminally reckless or negligent activity is apt to be considered an intervening, superseding cause, leaving the first party free of any criminal liability for harms caused by the final actor. Part II C considers the relatively new offense of Reckless Endangerment, an offense pioneered by the Model Penal Code which could, unlike complicity or causation, provide a means to criminally sanction the initially reckless individual who aids another in committing a reckless offense. Reckless endangerment is ultimately unsuitable, however, for while it may well be available in most states (sixty percent), it is by no means available in all, and where it is available is generally graded as a misdemeanor only, with a maximum imposable prison term of about a year.
