Gross to the max but very funny, this succeeds through energy, ingenuity and -- against all the odds -- the charm of its dopey leads.

Top Critica bit too dumb
06/29/05
Given American cinema's current obsession with innocence and ignorance, at least this never romanticises its protagonists. They are genuinely, irredeemably, 100 per cent no-hopers.

Top CriticA gross-out classic.

Maybe it's indicative of my end-of-the-year brain-fry, but this dopey comedy about two of the dumbest guys in the universe on a road trip to misadventure is a hoot.

This is a long way from the social comedy of Jerry Lewis. The characters here are ultimately turned into punching bags or punch-line dispensers.

Carrey, I am now convinced, is a true original. In The Mask, he had the screenplay and production to back him up. Here, the filmmaking is more uncertain.

Top CriticDespretensiosamente ingênuo, 'Débi & Lóide' é a maior prova de que um filme nem sempre precisa ter uma trama elaborada para agradar.

Gone are the days of John Belushi, where rudeness was raised to an art form.

This virtually laughless movie makes rude junior high school pranks seem positively sophisticated.

...it tickles the funny bone often enough to merit serious consideration among lowbrow comedies.

Dumb and Dumber, which features Carrey and Jeff Daniels as nitwits traveling cross-country, is a frayed string of gags posing as a movie. Carrey, though, does literal-minded doofdom with peerless enthusiasm.
