Tonight's gonna be really dumb.
Because we're showing the 1994 comedy classic Dumb and Dumber on 35mm in a movie palace with a Q&A with the Farrelly Brothers and co-screenwriter Bennett Yellin to follow.
Gotta dumb question? Wanna say something really dumb? Tonight's the night.
Dumb and Dumber surprised the movie world with its strangely effective mix of really broad heightened comedy (helped of course by Jim Carrey's near pantomime brilliance), raunchiness, heart, and surprising cleverness. It certainly didn't hurt that the movie scored great actor Jeff Daniels to actually take part in some of the wildest gags ever put to screen in the 1990's.
The movie follows well meaning but dim-witted friends Harry and Lloyd as they decide to go on a cross-country trip to return a briefcase of cash they think was accidentally left when in fact it was left as ransom money.
Dumb and Dumber became one of the biggest grossing comedies of all-time, helped cement Jim Carrey in the comedic firmament, and launched the Farrelly Brothers' careers as they would go on to make such movies as There's Something About Mary, Kingpin, The Three Stooges, etc.
Tonight, we get to have our cake and eat it too as we can all just relax and enjoy a really funny comedy then ask the filmmakers how they got it made!
This inaugurates an occasional series Secret Movie Club is curating where the moviemakers come to speak about their movies or movies that inspired them so the next generation of moviemakers can gain inspiration and learn how the sausage was made.
Best always,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR IN-DOOR THEATER SCREENINGS
REFUNDS:
We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.
However if something last minute comes up and you can’t make the screening, for whatever reason, just write us at: community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening.
HELPFUL MILLION DOLLAR THEATER MOVIE PALACE PARKING TIPS:
If you are attending all movies on any given day (the double or triple feature), you can go to ADD ONS and pre-order an all day $6 Grand Central Parking Lot Pass. The Grand Central Parking Lot is at the corner of 3rd Street and Hill Street just 1 block from the Million Dollar Theater entrance on 3rd & Broadway.
Folks just attending one feature can also park at this lot and as long as you grab food/drink from GCM you can get a 90 minute validation stamp that will help the cost of parking.
HOW WILL OUR STAFF MAKE SURE THE THEATER IS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE:
We will have staff in the theater at all times who make sure everyone is wearing masks and obeying protocols. We will have signage at entrance, markings at concessions, restrooms, etc so folks keep 6 ft distance at all times.
Anyone not observing safe protocols will kindly be asked to leave. On top of this, we’ll be making announcements at the head of each screening to make sure everyone understands the rules & regs!
