Mental and Shay follow Lloyd home from the airport in pursuit of the briefcase. Her Aspen-bound plane has already departed, leading to Lloyd running through and falling out of the jetway.įired from his job for leaving the scene of his accident, Lloyd returns to his apartment and learns that Harry has also been fired from his dog-grooming job after delivering dogs late to a show and accidentally getting them dirty. Lloyd sees this while driving away and crashes into a nearby car, but nonetheless retrieves the case and hopes to return it to her, unaware that it contains ransom money for her kidnapped husband, Bobby, and that she intentionally left it for her husband's captors, Joe "Mental" Mentalino and J. Upon arriving and saying goodbye to Lloyd, she leaves a briefcase in the terminal. Lloyd, a chip-toothed limousine driver, immediately falls in love when he meets Mary Swanson, a woman he is driving to the airport. Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, two kind but dimwitted young men, are best friends and roommates living in Providence, Rhode Island.

The film also spawned an animated TV series, a 2003 prequel, and a 2014 sequel. The success of Dumb and Dumber launched the career of the Farrelly brothers, established the range of the heretofore dramatically acclaimed Daniels as a gifted comedic actor and vitalized his Hollywood career, and solidified Carrey's reputation as one of the most prominent actors of the 1990s. It grossed $247 million at the box office and has developed a cult following in the years after its release. The film was released on December 16, 1994. Lauren Holly, Karen Duffy, Mike Starr, Charles Rocket, and Teri Garr play supporting roles.
