BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

emilyjadeedgar What the heck did I just watch. Such a weird storyline- not only is it unbelievable but it's not even funny. It's just so beyond strange all these men after one crazy girl. And then you randomly had Lee Evans in it??

Mr-Fusion Here's how you know you're watching a keeper: when Brett Favre shows up with his complete lack of screen presence, yet the laughter continues unabated."There's Something About Mary" is every winning virtue of the Farrelly Brothers served up in an oddball love story. It moves seamlessly from an awkward teen movie straight into middle-aged depravity. Just an array of sleazy characters, and they are hysterical; chiefly Keith David, Matt Dillon and Chris Klein. As if the one-liners aren't enough, you've got the story of Ted's prom night from Hell, or the story of Mongo the special kid on a leash.This had me in stitches back in the '90s and it still does today. I can't think of that many comedies from such a hit-or-miss decade that still hold such lasting value. I can't speak highly enough of this.9/10

jacobjohntaylor1 This is not a funny movie. This is just gross. It is badly written. Why did this get a 7.1. I can not believe people think this is funny. It is why comedy it easy. No one ever said that's not funny. So writers can put what ever they want in a comedy movie or show. There are some good actors in this movie. The writers have no talent. They are just people who make there money in cheap laughs. The actors wasted there time being in this awful movie. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this pile of pooh pooh. 7.1 is just overrating it. Do not see this movie it is just vulgar and stupid. Pooh pooh, pooh pooh, pooh pooh pooh, pooh pooh. Just a lot of pooh pooh.

Tweekums Sixteen year old Ted can't believe his luck when the beautiful Mary invited him to the school prom but things go disastrously when he gets caught in his zipper and ends up in an ambulance rather than going to the prom! Sixteen years later he is still obsessed with Mary even though he hasn't seen her since that dreadful night. His friend Dom says he knows private investigator who can find her; Ted hires the man, Healy, and he soon reports that she is now living in Miami, has four kids by three fathers and looks like a whale… only one of these details is true; she is in Miami but she is still beautiful and childless… so beautiful in fact that sleazy Healy sets about wooing her. Having eaves-dropped her conversations he presents himself as the perfect man for her. There are problems for Healy though, a friend of Mary sees that he is a fraud and Ted decides that he'd like to see Mary again whatever she looks like.This is probably not the rom-com to buy your mother for Christmas… unless she enjoys jokes about blokes getting their genitals caught is their zips, a woman accidentally using semen as hair gel or dogs being drugged and nearly dying. If that sort of crudeness offends then it is best to avoid this but if not there should be enough laughs to be had. The story itself is standard rom-com fare; boy loves girl but she is in love with the wrong guy it is just that the laughs along the way are often in poor taste… but some of those poor taste moments are the films funniest; although dog-lovers may disagree. Ben Stiller does a decent enough job as nice-guy Ted, even if he looked ridiculous when playing him aged sixteen. Cameron Diaz shines as the eponymous Mary but it is Matt Dillon who steals the show as Healy making the sleazy character almost likable due to the shear outrageousness of his actions. Overall if you are looking for some lowbrow humour you could do a lot worse than watch this.
