Summary: There's something about "There's Something About Mary"
Review: First of all, I can't believe the average customer rating is 3 and a half stars while ridiculous movies like Bring it On and Drop Dead Gorgeous are frozen at a solid 4.This movie is beyond hilarious. The entire supporting cast is brilliant. Chris Elliot, Keith David (Mary's dad, who is WAY too funny in this movie), Harland Williams, Tucker and Matt Dillon are perfect. There's few movies funnier than TSAM. Seems like people nowadays lack a decent sense of humor. I'll admit, some scenes were too immature and stupid for me to laugh at. The dog on speed, the hair-gel scene, and a few others are just too goofy. As far as humor goes, (for me at least) it's all about verbal delivery. Like Chris Elliot in the last scene. He nails every line. The way he says the lines, the look on his face.... I mean, his facial expressions have me busting a gut everytime I watch the damn movie. Slapstick humor is played out and boring. These actors have comedic presence. They do everything right. They don't rely on jumping around like Gumby to get a few cheap laughs. Take Mary's dad for example. The guy's funny without even trying. His damn smile alone has me rolling. His timing and delivery is right on the money. Amazing talent. All of the supporting cast is just pure class. To summerize, TSAM is a refreshing comedy that actually makes you laugh. Not a lot of comedies nowadays do that. This one sure does. Even if you've seen it dozens of times. Pure hilarity. And my opinion is the one that counts. Don't listen to these other 1-star morons.

Summary: Laugh-out-loud-funny!
Review: If you liked the Farrelly Brothers' "Dumb and Dumber," you are going to love "There's Something About Mary." The humor is again on a Junior High-boys' locker room level, but the acting and script are both superior to "Dumb."
Cameron Diaz is Mary, a drop-dead gorgeous girl with a heart of gold. The story opens in high school as dorky Ted (Ben Stiller) prepares for a prom date with the wonderful Mary. They never get to the prom, however, and years later, he is still dreaming about the elusive Mary. At his buddy (played by the hilarious, scene-stealing Chris Elliot)'s urging, Ted hires a private detective to find her. The detective (Matt Dillon) finds her and falls for Mary himself. There is also a crippled man who lusts after Mary. Through all this, the story is "narrated" by two unnamed musicians who pop up now and then and sing about the action. There are so many hilarious scenes; the zipper, the dog, the hair gel, the hitchhiker; you've heard about all of them. This is one time when the movie lives up to the buzz. The video also includes outtakes and a music video made by the cast. Cameron Diaz is so beautiful and funny that you cannot take your eyes off of her. Matt Dillon is billed over the hero, Ben Stiller. Dillion plays an over-the-top sleeze bag and is perfect in the part. Stiller doesn't have hero-good-looks, but he is a likeable everyman and has a great deadpan expression. This isn't the kind of movie one admits to liking, but it is a very funny comedy!

Summary: Frank and Beans!!!
Review: There's something about Mary has been know for its classic scene where Ted's (Ben Stiller) gets his zipper stuck with his, well lets just say Frank and his beans and the hair gel scene, which you've must of heard of you know where Mary's hair is all spiked up, if you don't know how her hair got like that you have to watch this film. The story takes as Ted is in love with Mary in high school. But the incident happened which then she moves to Florida without saying goodbye to Ted. He is still in love with her after 13 years, so then he hires a detective (Matt Damon) to find her. The detective then falls in love with Mary, which the detective gives Ted false information about Mary. Ted then still has a crush on her, which he still goes to Florida. They then find many people who are interested in Mary. It is a hilarious comedy which if you haven't seen, its a must see. The DVD includes great special features. It shows when Ben Stiller won the Best fight award with him and the dog at the Mtv movie awards. This also includes the theatrical trailer and 13 TV spots. It also includes the AMC backstory, which is great, and videos and interviews with the cast. It also shows the origin of the movie of how it came all about. There is much much more in this DVD which you should buy. The commentary with the Farrelly Brothers is hilarious. I also though they should have kept the alternate beginning, which is in clay, but its really cool. They give you 2 options to watch the movie, the theatrical version and the extended version with 15 minutes of never before seen scenes. There are interactive menus, which are in clay that are cool. It also shows 43 minutes of behind the scene footage. This is a must get if you really love the movie.

Summary: Raunchy, Sweet, & Funny--A Winning Combo
Review: Just about the time a character mistakes a certain body fluid for hair gel and decides a little dab will do her, this movie gels. The joke is rude and gross, but it's also funny. Real funny. Rather than taking a stand for good taste and propriety, viewers will be better off surrendering to the outrageous mixture of full-tilt zaniness, ribaldry and freewheeling bonhomie in There's Something About Mary, a romantic comedy with its heart in the right place and its mind considerably lower. Let's just put it this way: The movie's two best sight gags, including the one above, can't be described fully in a family publication. That should surprise no one. Mary is written and directed by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, the skewed sibling duo whose films include the vulgar-are-us comedies Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin. Their latest offering, while more sophisticated and appealing in its plot and performances, is still definitely too crude for prudes. At the center of Mary lies a sweet love story. Stiller, a nerdy writer, has pined for the movie's titular hero (Diaz) ever since they had a single date back in high school. That date ended disastrously when, while using the bathroom at her house, Stiller encountered zipper problems. Now, more than a decade later, he hires an investigator (Dillon) to track Diaz down. A gleefully unscrupulous sleazeball, Dillon promptly falls for the dazzling Diaz himself and begins putting the moves on her. Hilarity, truly, ensues. The entire cast has a blast, especially Dillon, who, sporting the thinnest of pencil-thin mustaches, revels in playing a louse. The scene where he drugs and then desperately tries to revive a passed-out pooch is alone worth the price. And you'll find yourself singing along with everyone else at the end--as the credits roll! A let-yourself-go with it flowing, funny, farcical love story.

Summary: "All I got are these coins from Nepal. . ."
Review: Hats off to the Farrelly brothers. These guys can take off-colored humor, outrageous sight gags, sophomoric gimmicks, recycled comedy, a hopelessly nerdy leading man (Ben Stiller), and still put together a very funny movie. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY is pure tongue-in-cheek, towel-popping comedic bliss that makes fun of anything and everything--and offers no apologies. This movie is a celebration of in-your-face sight gags: a johnson caught in a zipper, a petrified dog revived by an electric jolt, a dash of "all natural" hair gel. The visual comedy assaults you, wave after wave, and never lets up. It's comedy you would expect to find in the third stall of the locker room, comedy so off-the-wall and immature you can't believe the sound of your own laughter. Matt Dillon surprised me; this actor can flat out play a humorous role. Cameron Diaz is perfect as Mary, the title character, while Ben Stiller is just. . .Ben Stiller. While THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY doesn't break new comedic ground, it darn sure enhances the genre. Granted, some of the stuff was lame, but I'm game.

Summary: The best comedy of the 90s, new story, crazy comedy.
Review: Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon, Chris Elliot, Lee Evans and Cameron Diaz are great in this hillarious comedy with lots of great scenes and interesting plots that lead to a series of slapstick disaster. There are so many scenes, including my favorite, where the dog (Puppy) and Stiller (Ted) fight that are hillariously funny and keep you laughing. If you like what the Farrelly Brothers bring to the comic, comedy world, this movie has it. I loved the fact that they mixed up comedy and romance to make a huge hit. The pure gem of comedy, this will be the funniest rated comedy you'll come accross.

Summary: Great 2 disc collection!
Review: I'll leave it up to others to tell you about the movie if you havent seen it already. This edition is filled with great bonus features, 2 versions of the film, both the theatricle version, and the choice to watch un uncut version that does have some scenes that continue to add onto the hillarity of the film! Also theres an option to view it in clay mode, which is pretty much just the opening credits. Nothing to rave about there. The second disc is filled with interveiws, behind the scene featuretes, some goofy side things, and theres a hidden egg if you go to the trailers index, and press left to highlight the man closest to the toilet, you get a little 30 second clip of Woogie watchign the news and the news broadcasters saying they liked the movie ect.. Some parts of the bonues features are pretty boring, theres about three featurettes about 30 minutes long, maybe only the die hard fan of the movie would be intrestedt in it. I did skip those, but there is some insighfull and cool things on there! Only by this edition if you liked the movie in the first place, and the added extras will satasfy your Mary needs! But if your not intrested, just go with the normal edition, or dont pay alot for it.... but for the SAM fans, this DVD's pretty good!
only down fall is the gag reel isnt really funny!

Summary: "The greatest love story of our time..."
Review: I must've seen this movie a hundred times, and it's still on my top 10 list. It truly is laugh-a-minute stuff for anyone with even a vague sense of humor, while the gags run the gamut from ridiculous to sublime, the plot twists ands turns, and the characters are actually well-developed and distinctive, more so than you'd expect for what is essentially, a romantic comedy. In my opinion too much attention has been paid to various scenes in the movie (I'm talking about clearing the pipes here...) and that shouldn't overshadow the many other hilarious bits. I think it definitely is a movie you need to watch repeatedly to pick up on all the running jokes and more subtle humor.
It also helps that Cameron Diaz is pretty much every man's dream - beautiful, low maintenance and willing to date nerds. Ker-ching!
Stiller is fabulous as usual, gamely getting humiliated movie after movie, but I think this movie was his zenith, the peak of his powers and so-on. he brings a smile to our faces, and at least once, tears to our eyes.
The supporting cast is also used effectively, with Lee Evans and Matt Damon in particular standing out.
The Farrelly brothers are the kings of skating the thin line between good and bad taste, funny and irritating. Here they come down solidly on the side of solid gold entertainment, although it appears many people here beg to differ as to which side of the line that is!
I think I'll go hit that 101st viewing now...

Summary: You either hate it or love it. ...."I work with retards"....
Review: The first time I saw this movie I thought it was a pathetic piece of junk. But I guess I wasn't in the mood for this kind of humour. I caught it afterwards in cable and I started to love it, there are so many funny -and in your face- scenes. And it is a well written sick romantic comedy, also.
I thought the "hair gel" part was not that funny and was maybe too much, but all in all, this is one hilarious sick movie.
