Summary: stupid, gross, and not funny
Review: This is an awful comedy. THe only originality in it is the way it goes to extremes, which means its vulgarity - and it is vulgar. Don't bother.

Summary: Very Funny
Review: Something About Mary is full of humour which will cause everyone to fall into a fit of laughter. Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller play the main two characters who bring the characters alive and fulfill the roles perfectly. Cameron plays Mary who is adored by many, with Ben being one of them. Ben 13 years on still has a huge crush on Mary and sends a private detective after her, the only problem is that he too falls in love with Mary.(and everybody else too). This film will cheer up anybody so if you still havent seen it yet then at least hire it out as you are missing out on so much entertainment

Summary: Horrible, some funny parts
Review: Not very funny, went to the movies thinking it was going to be hilarious from what the previews looked like but iwas misss led. Waste of money! Stupid plot with only the occasional funny part mainly the part with the dog attackin Ben Stiller. Don't recommend it, the age group that would most likely enjoy this is 13 - 15 year olds. Too tupid for adults and to rude for younger kids.

Summary: Cameron Diaz's Best Performance
Review: This being the third of the farrelly brothers movies, they started to get the hang for what they were doing, and thus the output was positive. Brilliant performances from both diaz and stiller, and a very funny performance from matt dillon. If you like toilet humour, this is the one for you.

Summary: There's Little about this Film
Review: I now appreciate what people mean when they use the phrase "I didn't get it." Quite frankly, the only thing going for this movie is the fact that we get to see Cameron Diaz as often as we do. I postponed watching this for quite some time, over suspicion that much of the hype around it at the time of release was overrated. However, after its survival through the first couple of years as some sort of classic, I figured the Farralley brothers must have gotten something right. Furthermore, their earlier works were quite impressive, and so I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps the pumped up expectations made the disappointment worse. The film was simply not funny. The endless array of slapstick and phallic humor, while initially mildly entertaining, became monotenous. Carefully placed, such moments can add greatly to a comedy's enjoyment, as in "American Pie." Furthermore, in this film, besides the dull, repetive "humor" scenes, it was very difficult for the viewer to relate to the characters. Obsession over lost high school love can work successfully as a humorous plot until the utter implausibility and stupidity outweighs any sort of comical value. At best, it was a poor backdrop to introduce the subsequent drama. Despite what Ms. Diaz may say about her character, the "idealization" of Mary is a message the Farralleys are eager to convey. From the days of Figaro operas and perhaps into ancient Greece, "ideal" women and moronic suitors have been the centerpiece of comedies. Such an idealization is in and of itself quite harmless. Yet it fails when the foolishness of this character is treated as naivete, rather than blunders on a par with those of her male counterparts. Mary is ever-so good natured in her view of people, and to be frank comes across as childish. She is never given the opportunity to be remotely canaving or scheming as the other characters. This creates a dull, onesided portrait even for a comedy. To be sure, the film had its good moments, as when Stiller's character is interrogated. This was, sadly, the last of such clever maneuvers. The film is unmistakably one of the most overrated films I have ever watched.

Summary: The funniest movie of 1998!!!
Review: This is one of the Farrelly brothers' best movies. It's uproarious!This movie has everything: a good story, superb acting, a hot woman, and a retard. What more could one ask for? The "hair gel" scene is classic. We all know what Stiller must have felt in that situation. I certainly did. That sort of thing has happened to me numerous times in the past. Also, Chris Elliot is great in this movie. He is definitely one of the most underrated comics of the past 10 years. He really adds to the story. Buy this movie. You'll love it.

Summary: What's wrong with the hair gel scene?!
Review: I decided to watch this movie, after I realized that every single one of my friends had seen it besides me. As I picked up the movie, they set me off with a handful of comments about the movie, and then I sat down to watch "There's Something About Mary". The first thing I'll mention about this movie is the plot itself. My friends warned me that it was "eye-rolling annoying how PER CHANCE every guy in the movie was in love with Mary". (I noted that, in fact, this was the point of the film). And since in annoying American movies (no offense), the girl who everyone is in love with in is annoyingly (that word again! ack! sorry, I will try to use it less) sweet, hot (but doesn't know it, OF COURSE!), smart, a real goody-goody... blah, blah, blah. The kinda girl you wanna punch, if I were to be frank. But likely Mary wasn't like that..too much. I mean, there was that "I don't need men I have my viberator" comment, and she DOES go see sports. So, hmmm.... I'll give her a second chance. How generous of me. The plot could be a snore. A girl who everyone is obbsesive about? A guy who sends a detective to find her? The dectective falls in love with the girl> Girl and boy live happily ever after? Snore, right? WRONG!!! This movie is funny! Besides the hair-gel thing (I myself loved it... but this is a heated arguement), the other great scenes were the first date, (people, thank your gods or whoever you want to thank, that this did NOT happen to you. surely, you'd die.), the "are-you-gay" scene, the scene with the hitch-hiker.... of course, you don't have to have a very sopistcated sense of humor to laugh at the jokes in this movie. Defintly pick this movie up, but first see Road Trip, American Pie, and, most important(!) Dude, Where's My Car? Oh yeah, and Scary Movie is also a must. But that, my friends, is a diffrent story...

Summary: Not JUST another Farrely Brothers Movie
Review: If you were sick of all the Farrely jokes to begin with, There's Something about Mary defnitely has it's way for humor. It has a feel that no comedy I've seen before has. I guess since it's more of a ROMANTIC COMEDY. Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Dillon give their usual funny performances. It's not just any romantic humor, there's also the usual sex humor. Anyway, There's something about Mary just sparked my interest, so I recommend this movie for any Farrely fan or comedy fan. A good DVD.

Summary: Good warmhearted comedy....
Review: OK, the hair gel scene was dopey as hell, but it only lasts about ten seconds. Unless you have been living in a bomb shelter since 1959 there's really nothing too shocking about this move. Not for kids though...be warned.
