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.
