Huh. I only saw it once, in the theater. Laughed a lot. I’ll have to see it again. ---

> [@AncientHumanoid](#): > > The snowball fight was great. I pulled that Jeff Daniels move on a GF on a ski trip once. She didn’t appreciate it. I have a friend who had plans to make his GF watch the original Dumb & Dumber. When I heard that, my reaction was: Excuse me, but what were you thinking? When you retell that story, it can only end with “She hated it and I’ve never seen her again … she must have left me sometime before the ski trip scenes.” or “She hated it and two decades later she won’t let me show it to our kids.” Now, since I had no such admonition, I showed my kids… and throughout their grade school years they would demand we rent the VHS (mid 90’s, remember?) over and over again. We probably watched it 30 times (second only to Rat Race, another lowbrow comedy classic). ---

So you liked it _a lot_. Me too 🙂 It’s one of those that in your mind you feel you \*should \*be ashamed of liking but if you admit it, usually other people admit to liking it (_a lot_ ) too. ---

> [@edwards\_beard](#): > > \*Maybe you should put on these extra gloves. My hands are starting to sweat. > > - Yes! I love the continuation of the action in that scene. When Harry starts choking Lloyd, Lloyd screams “You’re hands are FREEZING!” Not worried about his friend choking him in a rage caused by his selfishness, but distress over how cold the hands delivering the possibility of death are. Kind of sums up the whole movie for me, ymmv. 🙂 ---

I mentioned this in the original thread for the recent, official Dumb & Dumber sequel, but it’s worth mentioning it again whenever the opportunity arises. Remember the dirty old lady in the hospital bed? I didn’t see the movie, but she was featured in the trailers as pretending to hid something under her bed “inside the turkey”? That bit part actress is my kid’s Sunday school teacher. 🆒 ---

“You’re hands are FREEZING!” and “We have no job! No food! OUR PET’S HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!!!” are probably my two favorite lines from that movie. That and after Lloyd spikes that hitman’s food as a prank with hotsauce and he chokes to death on his own stomach acids, how Jim Carrey delivers that pointing HAAAAA!!! at him on the floor is gold. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > \*Hey guys! Whoa, Big Gulps, huh? All right! Welp, see ya later! I read somewhere that Carey adlibbed that line because the guys weren’t SAG workers and they couldn’t talk back. But D&D is a classic movie. One for the ages. “Samsonite. I was way off.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-just-watched-dumb-and-dumber/750169.md?page=1)
