December 16th 1994 - Dumb and Dumber The third Jim Carey lead comedy of 1994. If his performances in The Mask or Ace Ventura weren’t going to solidify him as comedy mainstay then Dumb and Dumber would. It was the first feature directed by the Farrelly brothers, who would go on to direct 11 featured over the next 20 years including There’s Something About Mary. This is my favorite comedy of all time. It is endlessly quotable, the story is always moving forward, and they just pack so many jokes per minute. But here’s the thing. The brilliance of Dumb and Dumber, isn’t the big quotable lines, it’s the smaller ones. The ones right after that make the film perfect. The line,“We’ve got no food. We’ve got no jobs. Our pet’s heads are falling off!” is the one everyone remembers. but Jeff Daniels saying “yeah, he was pretty old” that’s the line that gets me. It’s that subtlety. That makes this movie the best. Dumb and Dumber was one of the highest grossing comedies of 1994 grossing over $247M worldwide, which wad quite a return on a $16M budget. -- source link
