Top ten things about Dumb and Dumber that I either musunderstood or was confused about when I first saw it. Some of it I think I understood after a few viewings, while others took years for me to fully understand (some not until a few years ago).
10. Why Harry wouldn't stop the car when Lloyd had to go to the bathroom (I thought he was just being stubborn/wanted to be conservative about time, just a few years ago I realized that he didn't want to stop because they just drove off after screwing over Sea Bass and didn't want to stop so soon, as Sea Bass could catch up if they stopped somewhere then)
9. Why Mary went out with Harry (not to mention her "one in a million talk" with Lloyd) when she was married (her husband was at ransom and she was told to act like things were normal, including dating)
8. The "one in a million" talk (when I saw the movie I thought there was something bad about it and was confused by Lloyd liking it because that mean's there's a chance, thinking it must be really good then)
7. The restroom scene with Lloyd and Sea Bass (I thought the writing on the wall said "for Manny Love be here..." as opposed to "manly love", first thought Manny Love was the name of a women he could enjoy and later thought that was Sea Bass's name, even after it processed my mind that his name is Sea Bass. It wasn't until I read details about the extended version that says what Sea Bass was doing to Lloyd - I thought he was just going to beat him up - that I figured it out)
6. Even though Harry spent the day with Mary, I thought she really was going to go to the restaurant Harry told Lloyd to meet her at
5. I thought they were going to California instead of Carolina, and was confused about the snow (I thought it didn't snow in California... and a few days ago I was told that it does snow in Northern California)
4. I thought Lloyd's realization at the restaurant ("No... We landed on the moon!") was him realizing that Mary lived at the address that Harry was going to (for some reason it took years for me to really pay attention to that "we landed on the moon!" line)
3. When Harry tells Lloyd that he knew how he felt about Frieda Felcher and that she told him about their relationship, I thought he was referring to the woman Harry talked to at the gas station who kept talking to Lloyd at the restaurant (especially since Harry had just been reunited with her)
2. The ending, with Lloyd and Harry turning down the chance to be oil rubbers on a bikini tour (though I was a little too young to like girls, I felt like they should have wanted the opportunity, and when Lloyd stopped the car to tell them where the nearest town is, I thought they were leading them to the villain, even though he was arrested)
1. How the bad guys knew that Mary would put down her suitcase and when (I didn't realize the whole thing was set up for the ransom, I thought they were just somehow psychic)
Which makes me wonder: Was I as dumb as Harry and Lloyd?
