Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFinal credited film appearance of Marian Mercer. She would however continue making appearances on television until 2000.
- GoofsThe bullet hole in Bill's car suddenly disappears when he and Sally arrive at the Jims' house.
- Alternate versionsIn the theatrical version, when Bill is forced to strip, the scene ends with him taking his shirt off and begins with him walking down the street covering himself with the mailbox. But in the TV version, after he takes his shirt off, it continues until he takes his pants off, then shows a far angle of him naked and Sally driving off, then it goes to the scene with him and the mailbox. The television version differs from the home-video version, as well; most notably is a major portion missing from the actual "out on a limb" event, where Bill drops his cell phone onto a leafy branch, where it stays and then starts ringing (probably a call from his business associate to try to close "the big deal", which of course he misses because he cannot reach the phone in time); this hilarious scene adds tremendously to the overall plot, yet it is wholly absent from the home-video release.

Featured review
This movie received a 1 star out of 5 rating (=awful) in the Radio Times but I decided to watch it none the less since it starred Matthew Broderick, looked fun and some of these 'dreadful' films are quite fun.
Well, I loved it, perhaps because I felt sorry for this poor, put upon underdog, but my opinion was genuine, one of the most fun films I'd seen (maybe ever). Dumb and Dumber is similar in some respects but much too brash in my opinion and without the subtlety and charm and downright sense of fun of this effort.
