The movie follows two friends Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dune as they attempt to return a briefcase to Marry Swanson who left it there under mysterious circumstances.

While Lloyd is working at his job one day he meets a woman named Marry Swanson who seemed to be very sad about something Lloyd brushes it off as she’s going to the airport to go to Aspen, but as she is about to get on an escalator she puts a briefcase on the ground. Lloyd sees this and takes the briefcase before the two who were supposed to take the briefcase did. In an attempt to return the briefcase Lloyd and his roommate/best friend go on a road trip from Rhode Island to Aspen Colorado in an attempt for Lloyd to return the briefcase and to try a chance at love. Along the way, they get up to many antics as they try to return the briefcase.

Some of the strengths of the movie include Carrey’s and Daniels’s chemistry throughout the film, the over-the-top and absurd humor, the soundtrack that perfectly complements the story of the film, and it became a timeless comedy classic that influenced seen some modern comedies today. The movie will leave viewers laughing as they think about the shenanigans Lloyd and Harry get up to on their road trip to Aspen.

Some of the flaws of the movie are it relies heavily on crude humor which may or may not appeal to everyone’s taste and the plot is predictable which may make it less enjoyable. Most of the movie is about those two doing something or getting into a stupid situation which could lead viewers to yell at them on the screen for even thinking something dumb they did was smart. If people don’t enjoy the dumb comedy then it’s best to not watch as it gets dumber and dumber as it continues.

Overall the movie has very few flaws and many strengths. The movie is great if people are looking for something funny to watch with friends and family or bored with nothing to do. It’s become a classic comedy over the years.
