About Say It Isn't So

Say It Isn't So is touted as being from the Farelly brothers, who wrote and directed the movies Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, and There's Something About Mary. And though they didn't write or direct this movie, it certainly has the same elements: charming lead actors (in this case, Heather Graham from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Chris Klein from Election and American Pie) put through all sorts of comic grotesqueries, ranging from having an ear cut off to getting a hand stuck up a cow's rectum. Orphaned dogcatcher Gilly (Klein) and incompetent hairdresser Jo (Graham) fall in love, only to discover that Gilly's long-lost mother is Jo's own white trash momma (played with gusto by Sally Field). Unfortunately, they'd already slept together, so Jo flees in shame to go back to her ex-boyfriend in Beaver, Oregon. But when Jo's real brother shows up, Gilly sets out to win Jo back--only her mom wants her to marry the ex and tells the Beaver police that Gilly is a sexual predator. Say It Isn't So doesn't have the crude wit of There's Something About Mary, but there are several laugh-out-loud moments, and both Graham and Klein are sweet and engaging. Orlando Jones has a zestful turn as a legless seaplane pilot. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

rating: 5 QuoteSick - Extremely Funny!!Quote
Okay, I'll admit that I have a very warped sense of humor!! The more stupid - far out things are, the funnier it is to me. I am not into corny humor that so many people think is funny!!

There are times at the theatre when I will be the only one laughing, but I laugh at off the wall stuff!!

I can think of two movies that will give the idea of contrasting humor!
Raising Arizona and Ruthless People
Of the two Raising Arizona was by far the funniest of the two to me!!

This movie was funnier than Raising Arizona in my warped mind!! LOL November 18, 2008

Say it isn't so was a decent movie. I had seen it a few years ago and decided that I should rent it again for a laugh at 3am because I couldn't fall asleep. The concept is sick and funny at the same time and I always love Heather Graham movies, she has just a cute innocence about her in every movie she is in. September 22, 2007

Despite all the gross-out jokes, this winds up being a fairly endearing romantic comedy. Though it is odd watching Sally Field in such a sleazy role. September 12, 2007

rating: 5 QuoteGood for a laughQuote
This movie is funny. Is it a classic? No. But good for a laugh from a person who is in need of putting the brain in neutral and laughing at visual and adult sexual material (not hard core). A person taking themselves very seriously would not enjoy this video, but someone with a sense of humor and open mind will laugh out loud at the antics. June 27, 2007
