Rating: Summary: Exxxxxcellent !!! Review: Pour s'exploser de rire... simplement le film le plus drole des années 9
Rating: Summary: Very funny and the whole cast is great Review: I thought the "hair gel" part was hilarious. Also the infamous "zipper incident". This is the comedy to see.
Rating: Summary: it was bitchin! Review: I thought the movie was excellent. There was maybe too much cursing, but I looked over that. I love the way Cameron Diaz laughs. She is so cool!
Rating: Summary: There's something about Mary--Something foul about Mary! Review: This movie starts out with a lot of promise, with lots of laughs, but by the second half-hour, one is just clamoring for it to be over. It's an extremely uneven movie (although it must be noted that none of this is Cameron Diaz' fault, who does the best she can despite a poor script). The movie is a bore, and a waste of time. What a silly movie- just skip it!
Rating: Summary: Buenisima!!! Review: Esta es una comedia con situaciones muy comicas,es muy buena para verla en grupo y pasar un buen rato.
Rating: Summary: An All-Time Masterpiece! Review: My only complaint with "There's Something About Mary" is the liberal use of the f-word. Otherwise, this is the most perfect comedy since the glory days of Monty Python.There are so many wonderful things to say about this movie. Peter and Bobby Farrelly not only produce their funniest moments ever (i.e. Ted in Mary's bathroom, Pat setting a dog on fire,7-minute abs, Ted's "hair gel", and one of the greatest endings ever.) but also slide in a heartwarming romantic story. The direction is also superb, as the brothers capture the important stuff in every scene. A film like this requires a sterling cast, and the Farrellys deliver on this too. As Ted and Mary, Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz are perfect straightmen(women) in a world inhabited by jokers. I mean, you wouldn't let Matt Dillon, Lee Evans, and Chris Elliot in your house at all after seeing them bring total hilarity and/or panic in every scene they appear in, and no other characters appear to be taking anything seriously. And did I mention that Johnathan Richman writes and sings five brilliant songs as the film's musical Greek chorus before the film's finale when he...but I can't give that away. So if you're looking for a film that will eternally bust your gut while at the same time reaffirm the power of true love, buy "There's Something About Mary". Unless you have zero sense of humor, it will be a film you'll never forget.
Rating: Summary: GREAT EXTRAS! Review: This funny, slapstick movie from the Farelly brothers has Ben Stiller hunting down a long lost High School love, with the usual crude gags and sharp turns along the way. Get the widescreen 2-disc director's cut, because it's loaded with special features like gag reels, behind the scenes stuff, interviews, etc. Rated R (contains language, semi-nudity, crude humor relating to sexual content, slapstick violence-- no blood and references to drug abuse) Starring Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon and Cameron Diaz
Rating: Summary: There's Something About Mary You Just Can't Describe! Review: There's Something About Mary is a hilliarous dim-witted comedy great for the teens and guys in your life! One of my favorite movies of all time but, not one I would share with the kiddies on family movie.
In this movie you a young boys infatuation with the one who got away in high school-- the new girl Mary(Diaz) who is the girl in high school that just has it all sensitivity, looks, and charisma. She actually goes to prom with Ted(Stiller) who has the geeky hair and braces. Only problem is prom never happens after Stiller has a problem in the bathroom when he accidently hits the "frank" when zipping up his fly. Many years later still consumed with Mary-- Ted decides to her down hiring a dective who also falls for Mary. The dective makes up a story about Mary to Ted about her being 200 pounds and in a wheel-chair to turn Ted off while he moves to go be close to Mary. Mary hasn't changed at all and when Ted learns about where Mary is he decides to see her. Things haven't changed and their still is a connection with her. Then, the world comes crashing in when Ted learns that is not the only one who sees there is something about Mary-- her admirers include someone obssesed with shoes, a pro-football player, a class a- jerk, a pizza guy, and Ted who never got over Mary. All in all this a hilliarou comedy! One to have in your collection!
All admit the storyline is a little too dim-witted at times jumping around from a axe-murderer hitchhiker, to a trip to the emergancy room on prom night, to a dog set on fire-- to the guy that loves Mary's shoes. I've watched this movie over a 100 times and I still laugh everytime I see it-- I guess there is Something About Mary you just can't describe. Rent or buy this one and laugh yourself silly!
Rating: Summary: Step into my office. What? Your f_cking fired!!!! Review: A man gets a chance to meet up with his dream girl from high school, even though his date with her back then was a complete disaster, which is perhaps the funniest sequence ever placed in a movie. "Franks and beans." "He was masturbating."
"How did you get the beans above the franks? It wasn't exactly a well thought out plan."
This is seriously one of the funniest movies ever created. "There's something about Mary" is probably tied with "Dumb and Dumber" as the best movies the Farrelly brother every created. Me, Myself, and Irene was also fantastic, and a very close third, while King Pin was also very good. They also made Osmosis Jones, Shallow Hal, and Stuck on You.
I can't really say enough good things about this movie. It really launched the career of Ben Stiller, who usually had bit parts in movies at the time. Something about Mary propelled Stiller to the Meet the Parents role. Stiller is now a box office draw off the power of his name alone. He can thank the Farrelly brother for bringing him to the worlds attention with this great character.
The cast of this movie was magic. You need to give Farrelly brothers a lot of credit for their utilization of Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, and Chris Elliott. All three played major roles in the movie, however, none of them stole any light from Stiller's character, and were utilized to perfection.
There's something about Mary is a must have in your DVD collection, no questions asked. If you haven't seen it, shame on you, and just buy it, do not waste your time renting it. I seriously believe "There's something about Mary" is one of the greatest comedies of all time along the lines with Coming to America, Animal House, and Dumb and Dumber.
Grade: A
Rating: Summary: There's something about the '90s, huh? Review: I was about 13 or 14 when my family and I checked this flick out at the theater (I have hip folks, what can I say!). Zippers, hair-gel, Ben Stiller, and that crazy bro. Mary had - it's the late '90s, so put on your zoot suit, and pull a comb through your coal-black hair!
Much of "Something About Mary's" humor is about "sticky" situations, and I mean this literally and figuratively. . . It's crude (what other movie ends with the dialogue, "I was only bonin' you to get to Mary?"), you bet - but it also has a charming good-naturedness about it that later, more cynical exercises in gross-out comedy (i.e. the "American Pie" trilogy) would lack. In fact, remember that guy from high school who was always trying way too hard to be the class clown? "American Pie," and especially its sequels, are like that guy. His freshness wore out quickly, and he eventually became a self-conscious parody of himself.
The plot of "Mary" essentially revolves around a group of love-hungry boobs who desperately want to hook up with Mary. Stiller was her high-school prom-date; Chris Elliot was her college boyfriend, etc. Each guy tries to sabotage the other guys, and Mary is stuck in the middle of their kooky antics. Simple? Yes - but "Mary's" not supposed to be a weighty Oscar juggernaut steeped in critic-baiting societal metaphors - it's supposed to be fun. And trust me, it totally succeeds, here.
So, why should you check out "There's Something About Mary" now, instead of the more recent "Pie" movies, and such? "Mary" goes down like a bubbly can of sparkling Cherry Coke (or Surge, if you remember that! Damn, that was good stuff!), complete with a nostalgic buzz. Think blue skies, and an optimistic, pre-Bush America. "Pie," and recent movies like it, go down like hard swallows from a plastic bottle of some over-syruppy, hyper-commericalized carbo-beverage. Think smart-allecky smirks, and greasy foreheads. Which would you prefer?
Anyways, check "Mary" out! She was hot then, and she's still hot today!
