Cameron Diaz Movie:

Editorial Review:
There's Something About Mary is one of the funniest movies in years, recalling the days of the Zucker-Abraham-Zucker movies, in which (often tasteless) gags were piled on at a fierce rate. The difference is that cowriters and codirectors Bobby and Peter Farrelly have also crafted a credible story line and even tossed in some genuine emotional content. The Farrelly brothers' first two movies, Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin, had some moments of uproarious raunch, but were uneven. With Mary, they've created a consistently hilarious romantic comedy, made all the funnier by the fact that you know that they know that some of their gags go way over the line.

Cameron Diaz stars as Mary, every guy's ideal. Ben Stiller plays a high-school suitor still hung up on Mary years later; the obstacles standing between him and her include a number of psychotic suitors, a miserable little pooch, and, oh yeah, a murder charge. The Farrellys' admittedly simplistic camera work, which adapts easily to a TV screen, and the fact that you'll likely laugh yourself so silly over certain scenes you'll want to replay them to see what you were missing while you were busy convulsing, make this a perfect video movie. --David Kronke

There's Something About Mary [Region 2] Reviews:
The Funniest Movie Ever... A comedic Masterpeice.
2008-09-16 - This was the funniest movie ever. It just MAKES you laugh. You have to laugh. It doesn't have as many funny scenes as some comedies, but the scenes that are funny are UN-forgettable. The thing the makers of this movie did, was they brought on one funny joke after another, so while your busy laughing your head off and hitting your chair as hard as you can, you miss the next joke. It's great. Not only are the jokes as funny as hell, but at the same time there's a very interesting story to watch. This is a cult classic comedy. Better than any other Romantic comedy(Most of which are very predictable and boring). If any comedy can be called a masterpiece, than this is it.

Gut shaking funny
2008-08-11 - 10 years and it's still funny. I've only liked two Ben Stiller films: this one and Meet the Parents. The Farrelly Brothers hit this one out of the ball park. And the gel scene is comedy gold. The writing, direction and even cast are film perfect and makes for some great entertainment. Highly recommended.



is stalking that bad?
2008-07-16 - this movie is so cool becuase it really shows the difference between a bad stalker and a normal person. i was always wondering if looking at facebook pictures of people was bad if you didnt know them. after i watched this movie, i realized its not bad becuase theres much worse things you could do. defenate watch, i hope you enjoy it.

Excellent Comedy
2008-04-28 - This is an excellent comedy movie, and if you ever get the chance to check it out then I would highly recommend it.

There's Very Little About Mary
2008-03-27 - Well, Ben Still is a zero. I knew that. I have never been other than annoyed by him, which, fortunately has not been often. But this one came so highly recommended that I finally plunged in. Oh, is this a dumb film. Oh my. It is stupid and ugly and insulting and creepy and sad. How many laughs can we get from a guy getting his privates stuck in a zipper? 15 minutes worth? Yow--that's more than milking a joke, that's making hard cheddar from a joke that wasn't that funny (and is ridiculously implausible to begin with in every way.) There were rare moments of humor, but few and vary, very far between. This is not a zero film, or even a one, but two is certainly stretching it.

No need to write more on this. This was a film that left me ice cold, not the slack jawed dumbfoundment that anyone anywhere under any circumstances could like it, as I have felt on occasion, but a sad lonely feeling that these jokes could be found amusing by anyone over the age of about twelve.

I bought the Collector's Edition (fortunately, very cheaply) and I cannot imagine circumstances under which I will want to devote any more of my life to this limp, saggy, and stupid movie. Disc 2 will remain unused for as long as I own it.
