I mean, I never understood the hype about this movie. I seen it like 2 times, & I didn't like that much the 2nd time around either.

Can someone explain to me how this movie is so funny & how is it praised so much. I don't get it? People say that this is Jim Carrey's best comedy, But I seriously think its his worst. Is it supposed to be funny that they are both retarded & always messing stuff up? Sorry, but Pink Panther did it better.

Anyways, Jim has WAY BETTER comedies than D&D. Like the Mask, Ace Ventura 1 & 2, Me, Myself & Irene. But best comedy is Liar Liar, in my opinion.

Why is Jim always getting put against his free-will in movies? Liar Liar, he was forced not to lie. In Yes Man, he was fored to say Yes to everything. In Me,Myself & Irene, his 2nd personality was just forcing him to do crazy sh*t against his will. Whats up with that?

Why don't you wear these extra gloves. My hands are getting sweaty.

You like Ace Ventura but not D&D?!

Does not compute.

The scene where the hitman thinks he's going to murder the two just as he bites down on the hamburger laced with hot peppers makes me laugh so hard I almost pass out.

I personally agree, I never found this movie particularly funny or appealing. I watched it when I was a kid and didn't find it that funny. Then after all the hype I decided to give it another try as an adult, still no much.

Jim Carrey had done way better comedies.
