Summary: Outrageous, slapstick humour with an actual plot!
Review: There's Something About Mary is one of the funniest modernmovies I've seen - I haven't laughed this much for some time. Some of the funnies could be classed as "tasteles" or worse but they are funny enough for you to fall off the sofa. Directed and written by the Farrelly brothers (Dumb and Dumber & Kingpin) but don't hold that against the movie - it is far funnier and far better crafted than either of those movies. Mary (Cameron Diaz) is a sexy, intelligent & a consistent character in this "romantic comedy". I'm not going to give away any of the sight gags like other reviewers but I will say they are not the whole movie... by a long shot. As for the extra features on the DVD the outtakes and the music video clip are worth it - after you've watched the movie. END

Summary: What a stupid movie!
Review: This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Why did they have to make a movie about a geeky kid trying to get a guy hired to go look for his old girlfriend. I think that's a dumb idea. Cameron Diaz is pretty hot in this movie but the whole movie is just plain dumb. When I first saw this movie in the theater I thought it was allright but now that I watched it so many times on video it has gotten boring and stupid. If you want to see a movie that's more funnier go rent American Pie that movie's hilarious. Stay far away from this movie it's dumb!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The NC-17 rating would've been appropriate
Review: Kudos to the Farrelly brothers for fighting for the R rating and for keeping the hiliarous scenes (especially when Ben gets his privates caught in his zipper)in this movie. However, I feel that TSAM should've gotten the NC-17 because of its explicit nature. But this is a really goofy movie and I suggest to those with kids, KEEP THIS ONE LOCKED UP IN BEDROOM! Otherwise, just have a good time with this!

Summary: Finding out where "it" went...
Review: I first saw There's Something About Mary at the local drive-in with a friend, and it was there that one of the movie's most infamous scenes would haunt me forever.

Ben Stiller's character was, um, relieving himself of some stress in his bathroom prior to a date with Mary (Cameron Diaz), using newspaper lingerie ads as visual aids. After his 'relief', he looks around and says, "Where did it go?"

After hearing his statement, I turned to my friend and asked, "Where did WHAT go?"

His answer was a torrent of maniacal laughter.

A few moments later, I would make the disturbing discovery about just what "it" was (no, NOT hair gel). When I did find out, I was in such a state of shock I couldn't bring myself to laugh at the scene that unfolded before my eyes, despite everybody else around me doing so.

Since that fateful night, my friend has discovered several ways of torturing me for my naivete concerning that one moment in the film. He's also told me that thanks to my momentarily having no clue as to what "it" was, it made that one part of the movie ten times funnier than it originally was.

Since then, I purchased the DVD of There's Something About Mary. I watched it at home with the same friend that caught it with me at the drive-in, and saw yet another brief scene that would never leave me. We glimpsed two seconds of new footage contained in the "caught in the zipper" scene at the beginning of the movie, specifically the shot of "the beans above the frank" (if you don't know what I'm referring to here, just watch the movie and you will always remember this moment, no matter how hard you try to forget). My friend and I paused this shot, and made snide remarks and sports announcer-style commentary about the "frank & beans". We deconstructed this brief moment for our own personal amusement, all the while laughing nearly to the point of losing consciousness from lack of oxygen intake.

These two scenes alone made There's Something About Mary one of the most unbelievable, unforgettable, and enjoyable moviegoing experiences in my life. And, now that I know where "it" went, I can sleep a lot easier at night.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the comic highlights of the 90's!
Review: "Mary" is a wonderful little film that just happened to hit it big thanks to word of mouth. Comic Ben Stiller played very well opposite the charming Cameron Diaz in this Farrelly Brothers production. A good supporting cast in Matt Dillon and Chris Elliot adds another dimension to this somewhat bizarre, but highly enjoyable romantic comedy. The film features what will certainly be considered classic moments such as "The Zipper Incident" and Puffer's fight with Stiller. Wonderful scenery in and around the Miami area is also a plus! Highly Recommended!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Hmmm...
Review: My, my, my... What a disappointment that was... I never got around to seeing the film while it was in theaters, but I kept hearing from friends how great it was. Finally, a nice friend loaned me her DVD and I just watched it. Plain and simple: IT WASN'T FUNNY! It wasn't all that interesting either. Everything about it was so predictable. This turned out to be one of those the-previews-tell-the-entire-story pictures. At least I got some laughs out of the previews.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than dumb and dumber
Review: If you want an outragous comedy film then this is the one for you. Did you like dumb and dumber ? I did but this is twice as good in my opinion. The same director has created yet another comedy masterpiece the basic plot is as you see from the movie trailer which is Ben Stiller has an infatuation with cameron diaz(mary) so after a very imbarassing pre prom incedent which is very funny, Ted(Ben Stiller) goes into therapy and keeps talking about mary he eventually decides to hire a so called PI (matt Dillon) to track down mary but he falls for her and fills Ted full of lies about her. Matt Dillon plays a typical schmuck ! he is hillarious along with the rest of the film. This film is not for everyones humour but if you enjoyed dumb and dumber then you will love this film. The DVD is jam packed with special features.....music video....documentary etc.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A waste of time
Review: This was one of the crudest movies I have ever seen. I watched it because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I am sorry I wasted my time on such a stupid movie. This movie was designed for a fourteen year-old's mentality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was fun!
Review: I saw this movie because Cameron Diaz in it, and by god, is she hot or what? Many friends recommended, so I decided to give it a try. I was laughing from the very beginning. The film is about romance, but it revolves around comedy all the time. Cameron Diaz is just aweseome, and seeing all this characters going through different lies and techniques just to get to her, made me realize that there is truly something about Mary.
