00:00Welcome back to Movie Recapped. Today I will show you a comedy film from 1994, titled Dumb and Dumber. Spoilers ahead. Watch out and take care.
00:09The film opens in Rhode Island, where a limousine is pulling up next to a bus stop. When the rear door window is lowered, we meet our protagonist, Lloyd Christmas, who asks a girl at the stop for directions to the medical school, he's supposed to give a lecture there and his driver is lost.
00:23The girl explains to him how to get there with a heavy accent, which Lloyd compliments. She tells him she's from Austria, and completely misunderstanding, Lloyd speaks again faking an Australian accent and slang instead.
00:34The girl obviously is turned off by this so she turns him down, and Lloyd pulls up the window again, only to put on the driver's cap and move back to the wheel.
00:41As Lloyd gets back to the road, he drives by a fast food joint where his best friend, Harry Dunn, is getting some food back to his van, both he and the vehicle are dressed up as dogs.
00:50As he hits the road too, he feeds sandwiches to the dogs he's groomed. His driving gets reckless when he gets a call saying that he's late to the show he's supposed to be taking the dogs to, which causes the dogs to slide all over the van.
01:02Meanwhile, Lloyd is arriving at a very fancy house. After parking the limo, he knocks on the door in a rather obnoxious way and it's opened by his client Mary Swanson, whom he immediately gets infatuated with.
01:12A moment later, when both are in the limo on their way to the airport, Lloyd tries to get a conversation going. Mary mentions she's going to Aspen, and Lloyd comments on him and Harry saving money to start their own pet shop that specializes in worm farms.
01:25Mary is incredibly tense during the whole trip, which she blames on flying nerves, but it's obviously a lie.
01:30Back to Harry, after some very intense driving, he finally makes it to the dog show, where one of the dog owners is extremely worried about her pet's looks, but Harry promises he's groomed them all perfectly.
01:40When he opens the door, however, all the dogs are covered in condiments.
01:44In the meantime, Lloyd and Mary make it to the airport.
01:47After giving her all her bags, Lloyd offers Mary a hug, which she awkwardly takes but doesn't reciprocate.
01:52Lloyd returns to his limo and Mary enters the airport, where henchmen Joe Mentalino and J.P. Shea are getting ready to pick up the suitcase Mary will be leaving near the escalator.
02:01Outside, Lloyd is driving slowly in order to be able to look at Mary through the airport's glass walls, which causes him to hit another car.
02:07This delay allows him to see Mary leaving the suitcase behind, and since he thinks she's forgetting it by accident, he runs out of the limo and enters the airport to snatch the suitcase right under the henchmen's noses.
02:18He then tries to take it back to Mary, for which he enters the boarding area, but since the plane has already left, Lloyd falls out of the jetway.
02:24Some hours later, Lloyd and Harry are returning to their apartment in a rather humble neighborhood, and they've been followed by the henchmen, who think they're working for someone powerful.
02:32We see Mental is taking pills for his ulcer. Inside the apartment, Lloyd and Harry share the same news, they've both lost their jobs.
02:39Harry asks Lloyd about the briefcase, he tells him it's a love memento and that he can't get it open.
02:44Their chat is interrupted by the henchmen knocking on their door, and after checking who it is through the peephole, they reach the conclusion they're gas debt collectors, so they take the suitcase and escape through the window.
02:53The henchmen force their way inside and when they don't find the briefcase, they decide to leave a message by decapitating Harry's parakeet.
03:00Night has fallen by the time Harry and Lloyd return to their place after spending their whole day job hunting.
03:05Harry goes back to the apartment with a suitcase while Lloyd goes to the store, promising to only get the bare essentials with their last money.
03:12He ends up buying a lot of knickknacks, and when he stops by a newspaper box, he accidentally leaves his wallet inside while retrieving the magazine.
03:18He doesn't have change to open the box again, so when he sees an old lady passing by, he asks her to watch over his things while he goes back to the store to break a dollar.
03:27A moment later, he returns to the apartment and tells Harry the old lady robbed him blind.
03:31Harry mentions his parakeet died, and this makes Lloyd snap.
03:35Tired of the dump they're living in, he wants to leave and go to Aspen.
03:38Harry turns down the idea when he realizes Lloyd only wants to go after Mary, but after a heartfelt speech from his friend, he accepts.
03:44They hit the road the next day, where Lloyd tells Harry that he got some extra money from selling the dead parakeet to a blind kid.
03:51Meanwhile, back in their building, the henchmen are visiting again, only to find a note on the door apologizing to the gasman.
03:57This makes them think the friends are pros that have been following them, because they know about mental ulcer.
04:02They decide to follow them to Aspen.
04:04Back to Harry and Lloyd, they've stopped at a diner to eat.
04:06When Harry accidentally spills some salt, Lloyd tells him it's bad luck and he should counter it by tossing salt over his shoulder.
04:12Lloyd throws the entire shaker and hits a man, C-Bass, who angrily comes over to the table and spits at Harry's burger as revenge.
04:19The guys finish their meal but are still frustrated by what happened, so Lloyd gets an idea.
04:23They go to C-Bass' table to apologize and offer to buy beers for C-Bass and his friends, which they accept.
04:28However, when they talk to the waitress, they tell her C-Bass has agreed to pay their bill and when the waitress looks at his table,
04:34the men nod, thinking she's wondering about the beers.
04:36That's enough for her to put their bill under C-Bass' name.
04:38Shortly afterward, the guys are successfully driving away from the diner as C-Bass, his friends and the waitresses try to go after them to no avail.
04:46Back on the road, Lloyd asks Harry to pull over when possible because he needs to pee.
04:51Harry refuses, since he thinks that would give C-Bass the chance to catch up with them,
04:54and tells Lloyd to pee into some empty beer bottles, he ends up filling quite a few of them.
04:58A motor cop sees them drive by and follows them to ask them to pull over.
05:02After parking, he asks Harry for his license and notices the open beer bottles, which are illegal to have in a car.
05:07He tells them to hand them over and as soon as he grabs one, the cop takes a sip, not listening to the guy's warnings.
05:13The taste is obviously disgusting, so the cop lets them go before he retches on the road.
05:18We then cut to Aspen, where Mary is chatting with her father Carl Swanson and her stepmother Helen Swanson.
05:23She doesn't understand how the money she left at the airport hasn't reached the kidnappers yet.
05:27At that moment, a friend of the family arrives, Nicholas Andre.
05:30He thinks they should cancel the preservation gala they were planning, but Carl disagrees,
05:35they should continue to act normally not to alert the authorities and the press,
05:38otherwise the kidnappers could do something drastic.
05:41Meanwhile, night has fallen on the road, Harry sleeps while Lloyd drives and daydreams about Mary.
05:46He imagines himself arriving at Aspen, getting together with Mary after returning the briefcase to her,
05:51impressing her friends with jokes, fighting some waiters at a restaurant for her honor,
05:55and taking Mary to his room to make love to her.
05:56He's snapped out of it by an incoming truck that he dodges just in time.
06:00They decide to spend the night at a love hotel,
06:03which Harry tells Lloyd it brings back bad memories about an ex-girlfriend that left him for another guy.
06:07He doesn't know whom, but Lloyd's faces tell us it was him.
06:10Outside the hotel, we find the henchman.
06:13Mendel is on the phone with his boss, who turns out to be Nicholas.
06:16While he talks to him, a stranger keeps asking him to hurry up and free the phone,
06:20so Mendel punches him through the booth glass before promising Nicholas he'll get that briefcase back.
06:24The next morning, the guys go back to the road and find Mendel next to his car pretending to be a hitchhiker
06:29while Shay hides to follow them later.
06:31They accept to give him a ride, which means Mendel ends up sitting between them and being incredibly annoyed
06:36by their bickering, weird noises and bad singing.
06:39He's about to take out his gun when the guys pick up even more hitchhikers,
06:42so Mendel has no other choice but to endure.
06:44Some hours later, they stop at another diner, where Mendel convinces the guys to try the chili papers.
06:49While they freak out over how spicy they are, Mendel goes outside to call Nicholas and tell him
06:54he'll kill the pair with rat poison.
06:56Then he returns to his table, where the guys have secretly put a bunch of chili papers on his burger.
07:01After discovering their possession of the briefcase is a coincidence, he bites the burger,
07:04causing him to react adversely because of his ulcer.
07:07Twitching on the floor, Mendel asks for his pills, which Harry searches for while Lloyd tries to give CPR.
07:13Harry grabs the wrong bottle, however, and ends up giving Mendel the rat poison, effectively killing him.
07:17The guys rush out of the diner before the cops arrive.
07:21They talk to the waitress and find out they must follow a sheepdog car.
07:24Lloyd and Harry continue their road trip, and when night falls, they stop to at a gas station.
07:29While Lloyd goes to the bathroom, Harry refills the gas tank and chats with Beth Jordan,
07:33who is parked next to him and is also going to Aspen.
07:36He's so distracted by her that he spills gas on his legs and the floor.
07:40Meanwhile, Lloyd finds out the stall he's at is used for intimacy and someone arrives right in time for it,
07:44it's sea bass.
07:45We cut back to Harry, who is still chatting with Beth and lends her a match to light her cigarette.
07:50He throws the match to the floor and accidentally starts a fire on his wet pants,
07:54which makes him snap at Beth, so she leaves.
07:57Harry runs to the bathroom, where sea bass is making Lloyd fall to his knees to use his mouth,
08:01but Harry knocks him out when he pushes the stall door open to put his burning leg in the toiler water.
08:05Moments later, we see the police waiting for them on the road to Colorado.
08:09But Lloyd has taken over the driving, and he's too distracted to notice he's taking the wrong turn,
08:13which at least helps him avoid the cops. In the morning, Harry wakes up and finds out about Lloyd's
08:18mistake. They stop the van and have an argument, Harry is angry because they have no money for gas
08:22or food, so he decides to leave Lloyd and walk back home. Some hours later, he's suddenly approached
08:28by Lloyd riding a minibike he traded for the van in town. This is enough for Harry to forgive him
08:33and climb on the bike, resuming their trip to Aspen. They make it to Aspen a couple of days later
08:37and they're almost freezing. They want to return the briefcase, but Lloyd doesn't know where Mary
08:41lives and has no way to find out. When night falls, the guys are at a park, trying to stay warm next
08:47to a fire. When Lloyd reveals he's been wearing an extra pair of gloves and didn't share, Harry gets
08:51angry and decides to get rid of the briefcase. Lloyd fights him for it and in the struggle,
08:56the briefcase falls and finally opens, revealing tons of cash inside. The guys decide there's nothing
09:01wrong with borrowing just a few bucks and leaving I.O.U.S. promising to pay them back later.
09:05But they end up going crazy with the expenses. They choose a presidential suite at a hotel,
09:10buy a fancy car plus expensive yet ridiculous clothes, and overtip the hotel employees. While
09:15enjoying the luxury of their room, they find out about Mary and her gala in the newspaper and
09:19decide to attend. After a montage of them getting groomed and buying weird suits, they arrive at the
09:24gala, where they pay Nicholas extra money and accidentally spray his eyes to get in. After they're
09:29gone, Shay approaches Nicholas and tells them those are the guys that killed Mendel. Lloyd and Harry go to
09:34the bar and have a drink while on the stage, Carl introduces the latest species his preservation will
09:38be housing, the snow owl. After the presentation is over, they finally see Mary, but Lloyd is too
09:43nervous to talk to her so he sends Harry to do the talking for him. Harry approaches Mary and after
09:48chit-chatting about animals, he tries to introduce her to Lloyd, but Helen interrupts them. She's very
09:53amused by his weird suit, and since Mary hasn't left the house for a while, she arranges a date for her
09:57in Harry the next day. Harry accepts and goes back to Lloyd, telling him the date is for him.
10:02Lloyd decides to celebrate this by opening a bottle of champagne, and the cork he shoots ends
10:06up killing one of the owls. The next day, Nicholas and Shay come to the conclusion that the dead owl
10:11was revenge for the parakeet and a message. Meanwhile, the guys are ready to go out. Harry tries to make
10:16Lloyd change his mind about Mary, and when he can't, he gives him the wrong meeting place. While Lloyd goes to
10:22the hotel bar to wait, Harry joins Mary at the slopes. They get on the ski lift and when he sees Frost on
10:27the pole, Harry tries to lick it and gets his tongue stuck on it. Back in the bar, Lloyd is starting to
10:32accept he's been stood up, so the bartender gifts him a pity beer as Beth suddenly shows up and sits
10:36next to him. In the meantime, Mary pulls Harry's head to unstick his tongue from the pole, then they
10:41have some fun together playing in the snow. We cut to the bar again, where Lloyd is getting sick of
10:45Beth's whining so he asks the bartender if he knows Mary. The bartender tells him where she lives, so Lloyd
10:50leaves the place to visit her. Some moments later, Harry and Mary are arriving at her place.
10:55She's enjoyed herself a lot, so she asks Harry to pick her up tonight, which he accepts. After she
11:01enters her house and Harry leaves on the car, we discover Lloyd saw it all and is hurt by the
11:05betrayal. Later in the evening, in their hotel room, Lloyd tells Harry he's been stood up, and Harry
11:10pretends to be outraged. But suddenly he gets an idea for another lie and tells Lloyd that Mary
11:14probably meant 10pm, not am. Lloyd pretends to accept this and when he hears Harry is leaving for
11:19the movies, he prepares a toast by slipping laxative into Harry's cup. Harry drinks it without
11:24suspicion. Harry gets in his car and drives to Mary's, already feeling his stomach gurgling.
11:29Mary lets him in and asks her to give him a minute, during which he cannot take it anymore
11:32and decides to go to the bathroom to relieve himself of his diarrhea. Mary knocks on the
11:37door and tells him the toilet is broken, but Harry panics and tells her she's just shaving.
11:41While waiting for him to be done, Mary hears the doorbell and goes to open the door, it's Lloyd,
11:45who has finally come to tell her he has the briefcase and invites her to come over to his hotel room
11:49to retrieve it. Mary accepts, so she goes to tell Harry, who is desperately trying to fix the toilet,
11:55that she must cancel their date because something important came up. Lloyd and Mary take the minibike
11:59back to the hotel. Once they make it to his room, he returns the briefcase to her. Mary is very touched
12:05by the gesture and thanks him with a kiss on his cheek. After cutting to the hotel lobby to show us
12:09Nicholas and Shayev also arrived, we return to Lloyd, who is practicing his love confession while Mary is in
12:14the bathroom. When she comes out, Lloyd tells her he likes her after stumbling over his words. Mary
12:20tells him his chances aren't good, and after Lloyd asks her to be specific, she says he has one in a
12:24million chance, this makes Lloyd think he does have a chance. They're interrupted by Nicholas, who
12:29reveals the kidnapped person is Mary's husband Bobby. Lloyd is hurt by this but he doesn't have time to
12:34complain, because Nicholas is threatening them with a gun. Meanwhile, in the hotel lobby, we see Harry arrive
12:39and coming across Beth. Back in the room, Mary is upset to find out Nicholas was the one who
12:44kidnapped her husband. When Lloyd mentions reimbursing, Nicholas makes them open the briefcase
12:49and discovers all the money has been spent and replaced with IAUS. A moment later Harry enters
12:53the room and discovers Mary and Lloyd have been handcuffed to the bed. Nicholas threatens him with
12:57the gun too and throws him on the bed with them. While Nicholas makes a phone call to buy a plane ticket,
13:02Lloyd and Harry argue over betrayals, turns out Harry had always known Lloyd was the one his ex cheated on
13:07him with. Their bickering gets on Nicholas' nerves, so he comes over and asks who wants to die first.
13:12Lloyd offers himself first, but Harry jumps in and says it should be him, which Lloyd accepts when
13:17he hears how much fun he had with Mary. Nicholas shoots Harry and for a moment they believe him
13:21to be dead, but suddenly he stands up and shoots Nicholas, though he fails. Nicholas is about to
13:25shoot again when the FBI suddenly bursts into the room, lead by Beth, who turns out to be an agent that
13:30has been following them around pretending to be an airhead. Back when she saw Harry in the lobby,
13:35she filled him in and gave him a bulletproof vest, and a gun to pull off this plan. Moments later,
13:39everyone is outside the hotel. Nicholas and Shay get arrested, and Mary gets to reunite with her
13:44husband Bobby Swanson. While seeing them together, Lloyd daydreams about shooting Bobby, but plays
13:49nice when Mary brings him over to introduce them. The next day, the guys are walking on the road,
13:54trying to find a way home and wondering when they'll catch a break. A bus filled with gorgeous
13:58girls in bikinis suddenly stops next to them and the girls tell them they're looking for two guys that
14:02will go with them to rub oil on their bodies while they travel around the country on a bikini tour.
14:06The guys tell them they're in luck because they can find men in a town very close by,
14:10the direction of which Harry points at. The now-confused girls leave then, and the guys
14:14barely take another few steps before Lloyd realizes what they've done. They run after the bus and ask
14:19it to stop, only for Lloyd to tell them Harry has pointed at the wrong way. Lloyd points in the
14:23correct direction then lets the girls leave again. The movie ends with the two friends walking down the
14:28road, bickering. Make sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so you can watch more videos like
