I LOVE Dumb And Dumber! And I hope the guys can get their comic chemistry back for a new one. By the way...have you ever seen Ishtar? I think Warren Beatty & Dustin Hoffman were the original dumb & dumber!

ISHTAR (1987) was produced by Warren Beatty. He wisely chose Elaine May to write and direct, and then, unwisely placed no restrictions upon her wild and crazy directorial decisions. The result is a modest comedy film with the production pricetag of a Hollywood epic. It simply went so far over budget that it was ridiculous at the time. Once the press got wind of all this, they unfairly labeled the film "a box-office bomb" before it was even released! I think the film is hilarious, and yes, I think it's the original "Dumb And Dumber", because Beatty & Hoffman portray two terrible songwriter/performers who are stoopid enough to think they will make the big time. Paul Williams wrote a bunch of hysterically funny songs for these two terrible singers to butcher their way through. I laugh out loud just recalling some of those. For instance: Beatty has been hired to perform at an old folks home. It's either an anniversary or a birthday, I don't remember exactly, but the couple he's singing to look to be in their nineties. He's so proud to perform the song he wrote just for them: "I'm Leavin' A Little Love In My Will".

I love DandD. The film cracked me up in the theater. I can't remember how many times I saw it in the theater with friends and my cousin. One particular spot and musical cue is when he's riding away from giving Jeff Daniels character, ex-lax I believe and the witches theme from Wizard of Oz is playing, just added to Jim Carey's facial shenanigans!

"Glad to see SOMEONE besides me is aware of Paul Williams' existence. Mention of his name usually only brings the sound of crickets!" Octoberman, Paul Williams has always been a favorite of mine. I loved all of his songs in the film, Phantom Of The Paradise.
