Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Dumb and Dumber is unapologetically crass. The Farrelly Brothers deliver nonstop, gut-churning laughs for adults as well as kids; however, parents of preteens should be advised of slapstick violence and moderate sexual content. It's your call, parents, as to whether you want your preteens seeing this. The PG-13 rating -- for comedic violence, explosive bowels, and sexual situations -- is a sound recommendation for your supervision. Teenagers will laugh themselves sore. Adults who believe they're above this sort of thing may find themselves pleasantly mistaken.
Sexual
Content
A few partially exposed rears, plus plenty of sexual banter and sexual terms like "hooters."
Violence
Some shooting and slapstick violence. In an elaborate fantasy sequence, Lloyd tears a chef's heart out and deposits it in a bloody doggy bag. A practical joke results in death. Lloyd is in danger of being raped by a man in a toilet stall. Off-camera, a bad guy twists a parakeet's head off (the damage is later repaired with tape).
Language
Strong language includes "s--t," "bastard," "d--k," and "crap."
Social
Behavior
Lots of dumb humor, though some messages of friendship.
Consumerism
Not applicable
Drugs / Tobacco /
Alcohol
Some smoking and drinking, plus some pill popping.
