Harry
Why watch this?
I expected this from the crazy Carrey, but it was Jeff Daniels
who surprised
me.
Plot Summary:
Loyd, a dim-witted limousine driver, falls for a beautiful woman
who accidentally leaves a briefcase at the airport after he
drives her there. Mistaking it for a forgotten item, Lloyd
convinces his equally clueless friend, Harry, to embark on a
cross-country journey to Aspen, Colorado to return it to her.
Unbeknownst to the two, the briefcase was actually intended as a
ransom payment, leading them into a hilarious and chaotic
adventure involving criminals and mistaken identities.

Dad's Preview:
When I first sat through this film, it was painful. These two
dumb-butts and their moronic antics are THAT stupid. On my second viewing,
I relaxed and could appreciate the first-rate performances by
all actors involved. This is no
Ben-Hur for sure, but
there are some
really funny lines... that you'll quote and re-quote for quite some
time. So I stopped fighting it, and gave in. I love this flick,
there, I said it! Go figure. |
