I've Been Cultured

Sometimes I need to be cultured by the people I know. I didn't grow up watching a lot of silly movies. Even as a kid it tended to be the more self-serious stuff, unfortunately. But now thankfully, I get to go back and see all the movies I wasn't exposed to as a kid. Whether it's AUSTIN POWERS or ZOOLANDER. Adore them all. But most recently I finally saw the one that had eluded me all these many years. You can now rest a little easier......because I have now officially seen DUMB AND DUMBER. :D

I watched that right after :)

"So you're telling me there's a chance?" Jim Carrey is so brilliant, but "serious actor" Jeff Daniels was the total revelation! Jim fought the studio really hard to keep him instead of recasting with another comedian. Siskel and Ebert's review of this was quite funny too.

Love this film, to this day I still use 'Samsonite, I was way off!' as a catch all exclamation for some intellectual screw up. The sequel they made 20 years later is actually quite a bit of fun too.

One of the few Jim Carrey comedies I haven't and have no interest in seeing. I can enjoy silly movies if they're done without insulting my intelligence and don't rely on bathroom, stereotype, or Saturday morning cartoon level humor which unfortunately a lot of comedies from that era relish in. I'd recommend Eight Legged Freaks if you want to see a good dumb movie from that time which is a satire and love letter to 1950s B movies. Also, Scarlett Johansson is in it when she was a teenager and in one scene she tases her boyfriend in the balls for trying to go all the way with her and later gets tied up by a giant spider.

Review?

Fun fact: Nicolas Cage was originally going to play Harry, the Jeff Daniels role. He and Jim Carrey are close friends. But he dropped out to go off and make a little movie called Leaving Las Vegas.

Jeff Daniels is a national treasure.

And I’ll bet you were thinking where has this hilarious film been all of my life!
