2011年，芭芭拉史翠珊勉強同意出演一部公路喜劇，但有一個條件：所有場景都必須在她位於馬里布的住所方圓45分鐘車程內拍攝。最後成片橫跨美國，但畫面卻像是用手搖式漢納-巴伯拉動畫佈景拍攝的。然而，對大多數藝術家來說，製作和觀看公路電影的樂趣在於有機會逃離熟悉的環境，探索無垠的公路，並迷失其中。公路電影本身就充滿矛盾：它既是視覺效果最迷人的電影類型——莫哈韋沙漠的日落、霓虹燈招牌、身著牛仔服的年輕布拉德·皮特——又是最簡潔的類型，將角色塞進車裡，讓他們用幾個小時的漫無邊際的對話填滿整個空間。The road film is something of a paradox: It is both the most visually ravishing of movie genres — Mojave sunsets, neon signage, a young Brad Pitt in head-to-toe denim — and the most stripped-down, sticking its characters in a car and letting them fill it with hours of rambling talk.本著這種交流的精神，也正值許多美國人準備在夏末進行長途自駕遊之際，我們邀請了一系列富有創造力的人士，向我們講述他們最喜歡的以公路為背景的電影。
身為一個娘娘腔的同性戀男孩，我曾經覺得法雷利兄弟的電影很噁心，所以一直避而遠之。但當你不再受制於那個時代時，重溫舊時光也別有一番樂趣。一年半前，我第一次看了《阿呆與阿瓜》。As an effete gay kid, I thought the Farrelly brothers’ movies were gross. I avoided them. But there’s a pleasure in dipping back into an era when you’re not hostage to it. I saw “Dumb and Dumber” for the first time a year and a half ago. 作為一部公路電影，它獨樹一格。大多數公路電影講述的是旅程如何徹底改變一個人，但《阿呆與阿瓜》卻並非如此。勞埃德和哈利（分別由金凱瑞和傑夫丹尼爾斯飾演）沒有改變，也沒有學到任何東西。他們活在自己的世界。他們的愚蠢中蘊含著一種幸福，只需要一個情境就能點燃。這部電影是對男性友誼的一種詮釋。法雷利電影提出的問題是：「一個愚蠢、笨拙、令人作嘔的男人，能被一個美麗的女人愛上嗎？」很多情況下，答案是：「也許可以，但在這裡不行。」但在《阿呆與阿瓜》中，這些都不重要；他們彼此擁有對方。

The success of Dumb and Dumber launched the career of the Farrelly brothers, established the range of the heretofore dramatically acclaimed Daniels as a gifted comedic actor and revitalized his Hollywood career,[5] and solidified Carrey's reputation as one of the most prominent actors of the 1990s.[6] It has since developed a cult following.[7] The film also spawned an animated TV series, a 2003 prequel, and a 2014 sequel.
《阿呆與阿瓜》的成功開啟了法雷利兄弟的演藝生涯，確立了此前以戲劇表演聞名的丹尼爾斯作為一位才華橫溢的喜劇演員的地位，並重振了他的好萊塢事業[5]，也鞏固了金·凱瑞作為 20 世紀 90 年代最傑出演員之一的地位[6]。此後，這部電影發展出了一群忠實的粉絲[7]。該片還衍生出了一部動畫電視劇、一部 2003 年的前傳和一部 2014 年的續集。

- To depart: Leave a gathering, home, or current location.
