The Rise and Fall of Farrelly Brothers Comedies

In the 1990s, the Farrelly Brothers reigned supreme in the comedy genre with hits like 'Dumb and Dumber,' 'Kingpin,' and 'There's Something About Mary' captivating audiences and dominating box offices.

Are the Farrelly Brothers, much like the Coen Brothers, more successful when working together?
