Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas travel hundreds of miles, unaware that they are being pursued by kidnappers and the police in search of a mysterious briefcase
Harry: I don't gamble, you know that. Never have and never will. Lloyd: Yeah, sure. I bet I can get you gambling before the day is over. Harry: How much? Lloyd: Twenty bucks. Harry: You're on! Lloyd: I'm going to get you. I don't know how, but I'm going to get you.
Me: ...
Anyway, sudah lama sekali sejak aku menonton film ini, jadi sudah lupa jalan ceritanya. Dengan membaca novelisasi filmnya aku jadi diingatkan bahwa kedua karakter utama film/buku ini memang bego. Dan begoer.
I like the idiotic jokes/situations but it's waaaay too much even a kid or a teen might not read this book then dropped it immediately because even the simplest of things can be solve as soon as possible. They're like the iconic three stooges but worse.
This book is excellently written, maintains attention. Laughs throughout. Only takes an hour to read. If I were an English teacher I'd absolutely include this in my coursework for creative writing. I plan to outline the book myself as an exercise. 5 Stars!!!
One side note is... I'm imagining, since it was published in 1994 this was a legitimate alternative to actually seeing the movie in the theaters and before it hit VHS. Perhaps even a kid-friendly alternative because I'm not sure this includes some of the more adult style jokes the film includes. I can't be sure I've seen the movie uncut before, only on TV many years later.
hell yes I found a novelized version of "dumb & dumber" in a cardboard box on the street, brought it home, and read it in the bathroom. damn straight!
i chuckled at various points, but my favorite line was totally left out. after driving to what they expected to be Colordao but was actually mid-west America, the immortal words are spoken, "That John Denver is full of shit..."
and the description of Sea Bass wasn't clear enough for me to picture Cam Neely.
