There's Something About Mary

Rating:
Summary: Not funny and vastly overrated
Review: This movie is plodding and not funny. Each gag is stretched beyond the breaking point, and there is no crackle of comic energy anywhere in the writing or acting. I am bewildered by the continuing fan base this movie has created. It is a witless and tacky movie. Renting it was a waste of money, and buying it would be even moreso.

Summary: Laugh? I WAS IN HYSTERICS!
Review: Hilarious is an understatement! Billed on the DVD packaging as an outlandish 'romantic comedy' but delivering more outrageous gags than the likes of NAKED GUN at times, this brilliant movie should not be missed by anybody! Ben Stiller(who later tarnished his movie career by starring in MYSTERY MEN - blurgh) plays Ted, who thirteen years after a prom date with Mary which never quite got off the ground (or back in his trousers maybe! ) is still infatuated with her. He hires a shady private detective who then stalks her himself and dates her, and this is where the fun begins. Laugh yourself into utter hysteria at jokes sending up mentally retarded people, sexual hang-ups, COPS, shoe fetishes and that dog who is not quite like Benji on amphetamines in a memorable scene! This movie is one of those that is obsessively intent on never letting a gag miss, and you'd be a fool not to miss this winner! A comedy classic.

Summary: damn funny
Review: This comedy is the feel good movie of the year. When I saw it in the theatre, an 80 yr old woman sitting next to me almost died laughing at the infamous "zipper" scene. The movie is filled with nonstop comedy and there isn't a slow moment. Be warned that the humor is rude, so if you are easily offended, I wouldn't watch the movie. Otherwise, buy it today and let the laughter begin. And watch out for the damn dog on speed!

Summary: Love Story wrapped in a series of non-sense situations
Review: The leads in this film are charismatic and believable, but they deserve better than acting out a serious of rediculous situations. The laughs were stricly "high school" and distracted from the sweet love story that was going on inbetween silly jokes. Some of the jokes were beyond silly, bordering on sick. A "Daytona Beach Party Crowd" will love this movie, but serious movie fans would like to be warned to stay away from this 'camp fair'.

Summary: An Anti-Climactic Ending(Brett Favre?) And Unbridled Gags
Review: While "There's Something About Mary" had a lot of laughs there were a lot of moments when I questioned whether it was necessary to overstep the bounds. In scenes like the "zipper scene" when Stiller got his "private parts" caught in the zipper did they actually have to show it? I got the point after the thousandth time the father, the mother, the cop, and the firefighter showed their bewilderment at how Stiller got the zipper all the way up.(Don't show [it] please) I was bewildered at how the "release the tension" scene was filmed. I didn't think it was funny to see Stiller's facial expressions while he was making "fire-by-friction" in the bathroom.(Less is More Sometimes! ) The "hair gel" on the ear was just filthy.(Aye Carumbe! ) The ending was anti-climactic to say the least as it ends like everyone should expect as Stiller got the girl. There was nothing interesting about how he got Mary.(At the end anyway) A decision is not enough to get a laugh out of me. Sometimes more is better! (Imagination)The whole scene when Stiller got arrested did not get a chuckle out of me.(Homosexual jokes are examples of lowest common denominator comedy. They are hackneyed and lack imagination.) The shenannigans of the three men(actually four) were indeed hillarious and the potential was certainly there for an explosion of hillarity in a romantic setting but despite a great performance from Matt Dillon as the pathetically sleazy private eye(with shiny white teeth) and the great performance by the guy who played the pizza delivery boy/architect this movie still didn't deliver. Decent performances from Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz didn't score a touchdown with me either.(Chris Elliot couldn't save it) "There's Something About Mary" is somewhat of a dud. There was a great plan for this movie but poor execution and that translates to an average comedy and an average movie. There's too much slapstick and not enough cerebral comedy. Brett Favre?

Summary: There's Something About Mary
Review: How anyone could NOT love this movie is beyond me. It's priceless. My wife and I were literally screaming with laughter the first time we saw it. Matt Dillon is the absolute show-stealer in this movie. His antics as the ultra-sleazy P.I. will have you in traction for a week! I HIGHLY recommend this movie. Dillon's antics ALONE make it worth the price. Oh, don't get me wrong, the rest of the cast was hilarious as well! This movie ranks in the top 5 of my personal all-time favorites, as comedies go.

Summary: Funny but heartwarming
Review: There's Something About Mary is a romantic comedy for people who really aren't into them. It has love and romance involved, but the Farelly brothers give it enough slapstick humor and tasteless jokes (Cameron's hair)to keep everyone entertained. The men trying to pursue a relationship with Mary are not role models, just weird characters. The weirdest is Chris Elliott and the most normal is Ben Stiller. It's a good date movie if you can't decide between romance and bathroom humor.

Summary: Best comedy From the last 10 years

Summary: Chill out!
Review: Okay, this isn't academy award material, it's not meant to be deep or reflective, it's just a good old make you laugh, forget the real world for 90 minutes, type of movie. Personally, I watched it with my teenage daughter, and I laughed through the whole thing. Ben Stiller is a natural (love his mom and dad); Cameron Diaz is cute and likeable in this movie; Matt Dillon was cast perfectly as a sleeze-ball. The only bad acting in the movie is the few lines that Brett Favre has! Lighten up, critics! You have to admit it was a funny movie. I bought it and watch it whenever I need a good belly-laugh! Actually, I'm very critical of new movies, preferring 30's, 40's and 50's classics to the "stuff" that is produced today; but I still like TSAM!

Summary: Hillarious movie
Review: This is Cameron Diaz's best film by far. I believe that she is a very good young up and coming actress. Ben Stiller does a very good job also. This movie is hillarious, the DVD is packed with cool extra features buy this movie!
