Dumber than 'Dumb and Dumber': Stupid Criminals

This is ‘The Rejected Playing’ ripping on current events and relationship issues.  What’s even dumber than ‘Dumb and Dumber’?  How about stupid criminals.

Yes, I’m taking this off from Jay Leno’s playbook, but you can’t help but smirk at the stupid criminals whether it’s shoplifting a turkey between your thighs or showing a stolen credit card directly at a security camera.  In most cases, it’s makes law enforcers lives easier.  

So what criminal act they committed in ‘Dumb and Dumber’?  Holding a ransom at an International Airport during broad daylight!

There’s a reason why ransoms occur at night at an undisclosed location:  You won’t get caught!  I’m sorry, but if you’re going to make a plotline about kidnapping, think harder next time!  

So let’s break down why it’s a terrible idea to have a ransom at an airport.  Leaving a suitcase in the middle of the airline check-in would definitely raise a red flag for both airport security and the state police!  It’s not like an unmarked luggage would suspect a terrorist attack or something.  Oh wait, yes it does!

Not to mention, if there was a security breach, cameras are everywhere at the airport, which would’ve no doubt detected the two ransom suspects.

But wait, it gets ‘better’.  Because Lloyd had an infatuation with the passenger, he decided to run after her to return the package.  

How he bypass security checkpoint is beyond me.  By that time, the airport would go on a lockdown, review some of the cameras, and start arresting suspects.  

Instead, we get a plotline with Lloyd convincing Harry to go on a road trip to return the suitcase.  If his IQ was 30 points higher than ‘Forrest Gump’, he would have sent the suitcase to authorities for inspection instead.  

Yep, that’s pretty much the plot device for ‘Dumb and Dumber’, a stupid criminal act gone wrong that lead ‘Dumb and Dumber’ on a road trip.  That’s pretty much dumb.  And I was dumb enough to point all of these flaws out!

Say what you want about ‘The Stupids’, but at least the crooked arms dealer gets the idea about holding a deal at an undisclosed location.  ‘Beavis and Butthead’ are also stupid, but at least the crooks knew how to take advantage of their lowly intellect.  As for….(Miss march) nope, I won’t talk about that!

So next time, if you’re going to do a road trip movie, try to make it ridiculously plausible.  National Lampoon’s ‘Vacation’ got that one right.

This is ‘The Rejected Playboy’ saying:  Having an obsessive crush is indeed destructive.  I mean that both figuratively and literally!
