Summary: Forget the hype...... this movie is horrible.
Review: This is one of the most atrocious attempts at filmmaking that I have ever witnessed in my life. This movie was even worse than, "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion". That is saying alot since I would rather have my face rammed into a brick wall 100 times than see that again. Anyway, this movie is just dumb. The jokes and gags are not funny, the characters are annoying and basically you can get more entertainment from staring at a blank wall for 6 hours. I don't know why everyone keeps dumping out their love for this movie on me. Just stop it. Now.

Summary: Funy but a tad crude
Review: This movie is a true side spliter. Its hard to say anything else about it. It had me rolling in the isles the first time I saw it and every time since. It is a bit crude with some serious issues underplayed (treatment of the mentaly handicapped, homosexuality and stalking) but all in all its not that bad. In light of some of the things that pass as comedy now (like "American Pie") this is relatively clean humor. If you're not easily offended I would sugest this for a good night of diversion, but not with the kids.

Summary: One four letter word can ruin a movie.
Review: I wanted to like this movie. I wanted to recommend this movie. I wanted to slap the director in the head with a shovel for using the "F" word in complete idiotic fashion. Not that there's ever a GOOD time to use that word, but what was the point of just randomly throwing it in there almost a couple dozen times? Some of the slapstick comedy is absolutely side splitting, fall out of your chair; laugh until you pee, really funny stuff. Some of it really could have been funny if it hadn't been so blatantly "in your face" crude. I think the comedy would have been there, without the obvious attempt to garner an "R" rating. There were about four scenes that made the mood so uncomfortable that my wife and I almost shut it off before it finished playing. Then when it was over, my wife commented that "That's sure not a take your date out movie!" translated "You don't get any brownie points for picking out that trash!!" Don't watch this movie if the "F" word offends you.
Don't watch this movie with your kids, unless you don't care about the masturbation question, premarital sex, or the "F" word.
Don't watch this movie with your girlfriend or wife thinking it's a "chick flick".
Which leaves me trying to ascertain, when it might good to watch this movie... Maybe never?

Summary: Crudeness and Bad Taste Over Sweetness and Wit
Review: Now that I'm much calmer ... It's not that I mind bad-taste gags in movies -- I like Dumb & Dumber, the 1996 version of The Nutty Professor, the first Austin Powers movie, and Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life. What bugs me is when bad taste is the only facet of a movie's humor, and when the gags are poorly timed. (That early scene in which Ted gets his "franks and beans" caught in his zipper goes on a little long, doesn't it?) I admit I chuckled at the dog scenes (Puffy tongue-kissing Magda, beating up Ted, and getting revived by Pat) and the ..."hair gel" scene, but for the most part we just have a lot of crude language and "shock" humor in place of any real wit. Also, I could not find one likable character. Mary is nothing more than an adolescent male's fantasy: She's a jock and an orthopedic surgeon, she swears a lot, she undresses in front of open windows, and she has the impossibly perfect body of Cameron Diaz. (Of course, if I weren't a woman, it wouldn't bother me so much ...) Plus, the writers and directors here seem more interested in humiliating Ted -- the guy we're supposed to be rooting for -- than in playing up his redeeming qualities. By the end of the movie, I didn't care which guy ended up with Mary because I didn't like any of them! It's also a shame that two of There's Something About Mary's best bits are nicked from other, better films. The idea of Pat listening in on Mary and then posing as her dream guy echoes a subplot from Woody Allen's 1996 musical-comedy Everyone Says I Love You. And the idea of the traveling minstrel/troubadour/Greek chorus/narrator comes from the 1965 western-comedy Cat Ballou. Speaking of that narrator ... I didn't know WHO Jonathan Richman was when I first saw TSAM on video in 1999, but I thought he had a genuinely sweet and romantic presence that felt out-of-place in such a crass and sour story. (I wonder if the directors thought so, too, since Jon only appears a few times and takes a bullet in his last scene.) I thought Richman's songs were the best thing about the movie, and I also thought he was the best-looking man on-screen. It's good that this movie brought Jonathan a lot of mainstream exposure, but I think his fans would do better to stick with the movie's soundtrack or his I'm So Confused CD (which came out the same year as TSAM and also features the song "True Love is Not Nice").

Summary: But what IS it about Mary?!
Review: I don't get it! Did all these people who gave There's Something About Mary four and five stars see a different movie than I did? I found nothing clever or groundbreaking about its sexual humor; it just lowered the bar for everyone else! (For example, compare 1997's mildly racy Austin Powers to 1999's [post-Mary] excessively raunchy Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.) I didn't find anything heartfelt or romantic about it, either; I wonder if the people who say they did are actually responding to Jonathan Richman's songs?

Summary: Hilariously Clever, Inspirating Film
Review: Have you been looking for a film that makes you laugh out loud? Well, you've found it. There's Something About Mary is that rare film that is grotesque, funny, and clever while at the same time filled with heart-felt emotion. Also, the addition of Jonathan Richman as a "greek chorus" is a finely added touch that shows the Farrelly Brothers at the top of their game. The director's commentary is a great addition to this dvd. Most commentaries don't float my boat, but the real human warmth and humor of the Brothers shines through here.

Summary: Best Farrelly Brother's Film yet!
Review: This is one of my favorite movies. It is so hilarious, I think I have seen it about 50 times. It is about a lonely writer, Ted(Ben Stiller), who has been thinking about his high-school crush, Mary(Cameron Diaz), for 13 years (the last time he saw her). He longs to see her again so much that he hires a private investigator, Pat Healy(Matt Dillon), to track her down and spy on her a little bit. Unfortunately, while Healy is spying on her, he falls in love with her. Healy then starts dating Mary and when Ted asks about Mary, Healy makes up lies and says things like, "She's a mail order bride and she has 4 kids". With all this bad information about Mary, Ted still wants to see Mary, so he goes down to Miami and meets up with her. Soon, Ted and Mary are good friends again. However, Mary is so beautiful and charming, a lot of other people are willing to screw up Ted and Mary's relationship so they can date her. I am not going to spoil any more of the film. Just go see it or your self!
