Summary: Very funny movie
Review: This movie was great it was hysterically funny and is no more tasteless and vulgar than low brow movies that have come out since this, movies that make this movie look pretty tame! I don't like movies that I feel cross the line from funny low brow to being too offensive, and while there was one thing I didn't care for in the movie the majority of it was fine but I didn't feel this movie crossed the line and I just thought it was funny and one of the few low brow comedies that I actually don't mind owning on video.

Summary: What's all the fuss about? (1 1/2 Stars)
Review: Most of my friends have told me how funny this movie was and that they were practically falling out of their seats during numerous scenes. They told me that this was a movie that I had to see since I love comedies so much. I watched it, and I thought to myself, "What's the big deal?"I did laugh, but it did not constitute as me falling out of my chair. Some scenes were funny while others dragged out WAY too long and killed the joke instantly. There were funny lines, but I've heard funnier before. This was the movie that everyone was talking about? This is the one that all the critics loved and Roger Ebert gave it a "Thumbs Up?" Sadly, I was a little more than disappointed. The whole movie revolves around Ben Stiller, who is trying his best to find his lost love. Along the way he gets thrown into wild situations and meets characters that make Charles Manson seem almost normal. As he tries to find his lost love, Marry, it seems like everyone else gets caught up in the act. I've seen funnier movies that never got the recognition that this one did. I thought that "Saving Silverman" was funnier. I thought that "Kingpin" was funnier. Even Tom Green's movie, "Freddy got Fingered" was a hell of a lot funnier than this movie. There were funny moments, and then there were scenes that were boring and dragged out. I'm not saying that I hated the movie, but I am certainly not going to say that I liked it. Will you like the movie? Hard to say. Really, you shouldn't let this review affect you. If you want to see it, go ahead. You may even like it. I thought that it wasn't that good, and it certainly did not live up to the hype that was given to it. All I can say is there are better comedies out there. I guess everyone has a different taste and opinion when it comes to deciding what is funny and what is not. It is primarily up to the viewer to decide if the movie is funny or not. If the person laughs a lot and enjoys her or herself, then the movie has succeeded. This movie could've been better and a lot more funnier. Just don't believe the hype and see it for yourself and come up with your own opinions. ***I'm sure there were a lot of special features on the DVD, but since I really didn't like the movie all too much, I didn't bother with them. If you don't like the movie, what good are the special features?

Summary: One of my favorite comedies!
Review: I just had to rent this the other night to watch it again. This is and always will be one of my faves! I'll admit that the "hair gel" scene was wayyy over the top, but the rest of the film is just hilarious! It is a great romantic comedy, and a great feel-good film. I highly recommend it! Rent it or buy it today!

Summary: Movie Fan
Review: This is a great movie......Lots of laughter! Everyone should see it at least once, but I do not intend on adding it to my dvd collection. American Pie is the type of movie you add to your dvd collection! That one is worth watching over and over again! However, There is something about Mary that everyone should see!

Summary: A Classic All-Around, but Dillon Steals the Show
Review: There's Something About Mary is, simply put, one of the funniest comedies of the 1990s. It's not as sophiticated or innovative as Rushmore or Being John Malkovich, but it never attempts to aim this high. The Farrellys only want to entertain their audience, and they accomplish this task ten-fold. A lot of attention was put on the gross-out gags during the film's initial release, but these moments only tell part of the story. What really puts Mary over the edge are the smaller moments, and a lot of that credit has to go to Matt Dillon. As the shady, none-to-bright claims investigator Pat Healy, Dillon gives of the best best performances of his career. Healy is a terrific comic invention, a man so unaware of his repulsiveness he actually thinks he's being sensitive when he tells Mary he "loves to work with retards". Healy is the ultimate Farrelly character, a man who is so completely out-of-touch that he doesn't notice how much a fool he makes of himself. It's a performance that would make W.C. Fields proud. The other performances are solid as well. Cameron Diaz is perfectly cast as Mary, a woman that defines female perfection from a male's point-of-view, and Ben Stiller began honing his screen persona, an everyman up against circunstances beyond his control, with this break-out role. But nobody defines Mary's success as much as Dillon and the Farrellys' innate comedic geniuses. Not every single scene works, but it hits on so many right notes that it remains a bonafide comedy classic.

Summary: I'm sorry...
Review: But this movie was not funny at all. I remember seeing this a month after it came out in theaters and being bored out of my mind. The only marginally funny things that occured in the movie were all in the previews. Everyone hyped this up to be the funniest movie of the year--"Oh you, gotta go see it! It's so hilarious!" "You will never laugh harder in your life!" ...Everything in this movie is overkill, the same stuff we have seen before in many previous, better comedies. I actually feel sorry for Ben Stiller, in all of his movies, you can see him literally struggling to be funny (Anyone seen Zoolander?) Cameron Diaz is good looking, but can't act her way out of a paper bag. Overall, this movie was way overhyped and is very immature. If you've seen the commercials, you've seen the only funny parts of this movie.

Summary: Funny in all the wrong ways!
Review: This may sound cliche, but, this is seriously the funniest movie of the 1990s. Not only was I laughing throughout it, but you'd never think that hair gel, zippers, retards or spying on old women was something to laugh about. "There's Something About Mary" is the definite crown jewel comedy of the 1990s.

Summary: Franks And Beans!!!!!!!
Review: The Farrelly Brothers strike again with this gut splitting, knee slapping comedy that is sure to become a comedy classic. Cameron Diaz stars as Mary, the all around special girl that every guy is immediatley drawn too. As the title says, there's just something about Mary. Ben Stiller plays an old high school friend who was to take Mary to the prom, when an unfortunate zipper accident occurs in her house. We jump forward years later and Stiller enlists the help of private eye Matt Dillon to find Mary for him. While he does this, Dillon falls in love with her himself. Ben Stiller is a master at this. Look at all his work and you'll see why. Matt Dillon shines in a hilarious role that shows his not much seen comedic side. Cameron Diaz is funny, but not the funniest. She also needs to eat something. Fast. The real standout was Earl Brown as Mary's retarded Brother, and Lin Shaye as Magda, Mary's apartment manager. The film goes from one hysterical joke to another. I couldn't stop laughing. It's also always nice to see Chris Elliot on the screen. This is a non-stop gas that is sure to entertain all. Watch out for that hair gel scene. You've been warned. Go ahead and have a good laugh.

Summary: Original comedy featuring bright young stars
Review: The film gets off to a sluggish start when it seems that it's yet another 'who's going to take whom to the prom this year' highschool romp. But It takes off when we flash forward thirteen years to the'present day' when Ben Stiller's character Ted is still obsessed with the one girl he loved during high school. The performers are all charming in their own way, and a clever piece of characterisation in the script avoids the temptation to make all the handicapped people 'cute'. Cameron Diaz is outstanding, although I inwardly sighed when her character misses the irony implicit in the term 'Politically Correct' and actually criticises someone for NOT being P.C. Ben Stiller is annoying as an eighteen year old, but grows on you as he gets older. W.Earl Brown is great as Warren, giving his characterconvincing physical mannerisms and the right mixture of menace and loveability. It's nice to see Lee Evans' talents being used productively too.
