I thought Dumber than Dirt was an amazing comedy way ahead of its time. Of-course you cannot forget about Mr. Patrick Warbuton who starred in cult TV shows such as "The Tick" and Disney's "The Emperors New Groove". Tilly was great too.

It's an unlikely tale of two brothers who are on the prowl for a new replacement mom; so they get desperate enough to kidnap a woman from a local supermarket. I won't spoil the entire movie, but the brothers are drawn into a scenario they didn't see coming, and it is full of outrageous laughs and discreet giggles. I absolutely loved this movie and thought it was great for all the actors and actresses.

Dumber than Dirt isn't you're typical comedy; it takes some of the biggest problems in society and puts a funny spin on them.
The plot is about two brothers that have lost their mother, and go on this search to try and find a new one because they simply can't go on without a mom. They ended up finding this woman at a supermarket and basically kidnap her, not knowing that they've actually done her a service. The woman comes from an abusive household with a crazy husband that she doesn't want to go back to. The problem that they have to try and overcome is actually that she already has a child, and she wants to get it back from her crazy husband without getting drawn back into a relationship with him. Of course, out of this situation all the comedy comes, and it's pretty funny. They managed to take a usually dramatic satiation and find some kind of humor in it. I would recommend this movie, it's something different from most of the comedy movies that have been released recently, and it's sort of nice to have something that's set apart from all the others.

A movie that I was able to get into and just enjoy, the camera work was excellent, the characters were totally believable, the story of the adventures of 2 Brothers was totally original.

Good flick, will be watching it more than once, and I'm sure going to turn my friends onto this gem.

My first reaction upon seeing Dumber Than Dirt was that it reminded me of a musical I really love. Well, not exactly, but one of the situations. In this musical ( Seven Brides for Seven Brothers ), seven guys steal seven girls to be their wives, and while at first the girls cry and hate the boys...they end up not wanting to leave when their families come to save them. That's kind of what happens in Dumber Than Dirt. Two brothers lose their mother tragically and can't live without one. So they end up going to the grocery store and stealing themselves a new one. She ends up not wanting to leave, because the only thing she has to go back to is an abusive husband. This movie manages to take a normally serious situation and turned it into something amusing. Obviously, comedy ensues, but you'll have to watch it to find out what happens.

Aw man, this movie's classic~ I was like cracking up the whole way, no joke. If you've ever watched that one French movie crime spree, its kinda like that, the type of humor anyway. Basically its about two country dudes and their queshey t to find a housewife that could replace the role of their mom. Along the way tgo through the most ridiculous and hilarious things. I mean the plot is simple, but the way they put it together was just too funny. If you want a good laugh this is definitely the movie to check out.

My wife and I love this movie! It is unpredictable and hilarious! I keep saying, "So and so needs to see this!"

I finally found a copy here on Amazon. I'd heard about this movie, but never had a chance to see it. I'm so glad I did. Quirky/off beat/real. This is one of the few movies where I actually felt I was a part of the group. I cared about each of the characters, I laughed at odd times because each scene and line would build/feed off of the others beautifully. The music was also a surprising plus. And I've always been a sucker for a serpentine move when getting shot at. The concurrent scene in the truck was hilarious given the kinetic frenzy going on outside and the stubborn calm inside. Each of the character portrayals were wonderful, sad, and real. The cast conveyed their character's flaws/limitations effortlessly, and allowed me to enjoy every single one of them. From the bad guys to the broken ones --I loved them all. Now I'm going to have to watch it again.

I loved American Strays, Michael Covert's first movie, and Patrick Warburton is a favorite of mine so I had to have this DVD. What a surprise to see the always excellent Tara Chocol featured as well. She was great on ER and has been one of Hollywood's undiscovered gems for the last few years. Maybe this film will finally get her the attention she deserves. Check it out.

I mean honestly, have you guys even seen this movie?

Jennifer Tilly only has about a 2 minute part in this movie when she offers her ass for $35 to the 2 men, what a steal that would be...

The lady they kidnap in this movie, DeDe, is the cute Tara Chocol, who looks to be about half of the weight of Tilly, c'mon guys...

This movie is hilarious! Burying their mom in a sleeping bag while drinking a beer, the mean sheriff, the bank jobs.. The younger brother just cracked me up!
