Dumb and Dumber is a 1994 comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. It was directed by The Farrelly Brothers and written by them and their friend Bennett Yellin. It is a modern example of slapstick comedy and gross-out humor. Some of its most controversial scenes include the imbibing of urine, a dream sequence in which a man's privates get repeatedly punched and later bitten and another man's heart gets pulled out of his body, and a scene in which one of the main characters has painful and violent diarrhea. Thus the movie has received much criticism. Since its release, the film has become what many consider a comedy classic and the source of countless humorous quotes. Dumb & Dumber contributed to the launch to stardom of Jim Carrey and set the foundation for many Farrelly Brothers films yet to come. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dumb & Dumber"
