Comedy When best friends Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne both get fired, Lloyd convinces Harry to travel to Colorado to search for his dream woman, Mary Swanson. Little does Lloyd know that Mary's in Aspen trying to find her kidnapped husband. Soon the two have gotten mixed up in the crime, and their wacky exploits are leading the FBI straight to the crooks. The Farrelly Brothers are at the peak of their twisted craft with this gutbusting comedy. [+]

	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The percentage of [jokes] that score is fairly high (...) Since the jokes are based over and over on the fact that Lloyd and Harry are really, really dumb, a certain repetitive factor sets in."	NEU
United States	Richard Schickel Time	"[It] makes you laugh out loud for almost its entire running time."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It] made me laugh so loudly I embarrassed myself (...) In 'The Mask', [Carrey] had the screenplay and production to back him up. Here, the filmmaking is more uncertain (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Leonard Klady Variety	"The wholeheartedness of this descent into crude and rude humor is so good-natured and precise that it’s hard not to partake in the guilty pleasures of the exercise"	POS
United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"An uneven collection of bodily function jokes, facial gyrations, sexual jibes and pedestrian slapstick"	NEG
United States	Peter Stack SFGATE	"Inspired, irreverent, spark-driven comedy that takes you places you never thought a movie would go"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"Comedy doesn’t get much lower than this, but I defy anyone not to erupt into giggles watching Jeff Daniels’ face enact the five stages of bowel emergency."	NEU
United Kingdom	Caroline Westbrook Empire	"[It] is a delight: 102 minutes of non-stop, toilet-fixated, pant-wettingly daft humour (...) It's indisputably the funniest film since 'Airplane!' (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"While I won't claim to have gone through this entire film without laughing, there are some long periods between chuckles."	NEU
