The Big Lebowski vs. Dumb and Dumber

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Dumb and Dumber.

Absolutely adore it..  though definitely not a fan of Jim Carrey..  (but in this one.. 'Lloyd Christmas',  oh come on!)  ...nor this type of movie…  but this one makes me laugh..  and I love what I find to be this 'idiocy', but that deep inside has much to do with 'innocence'..  (IMO)  and that is perfectly portrayed in the movie and the performances.  Like the soundtrack and all..  

Big Lebowsky yeah.. good..  'Walter' kills me laughing..  but somehow I find it looses focus on the plot with the nihilist thing.

	"Dumb and Dumber" has exactly the kind of "humour" that I absolutely hate. I don't find it funny at all. Not that I don't like screwball comedies; I love comedies like "Bringing up Baby", "Arsenic and Old Lace" or "Some Like it Hot". But I hate comedies that are based on the idiocies of people. I want my humour to be intelligent. "The Big Lebowski" is on a completely different level, so my vote goes there. Edited by BaldFriede - July 01 2020 at 15:27
	BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

	I love The Big Lebowski. Dumb and Dumber is, well, not nearly at the same level, even if I did enjoy it.

	2 of the most popular comedy movies of the 90s. Choose your favourite or one of the other options. In fact, The Big Lebowski is my favourite movie irregardless of the genre(s). But I'll again go with the "both" option as Dumb and Dumber has no match regarding sheer hilariousness. I think its sequel is also quite good, displaying the merits of being a deserving continuation. Anyway, The Dude abides. Edited by Shadowyzard - July 01 2020 at 12:39
