There's Something About Mary (1998)

Gut shaking funny

10 years and it's still funny. I've only liked two Ben Stiller films: this one and Meet the Parents. The Farrelly Brothers hit this one out of the ball park. And the gel scene is comedy gold. The writing, direction and even cast are film perfect and makes for some great entertainment. Highly recommended.

is stalking that bad?

this movie is so cool becuase it really shows the difference between a bad stalker and a normal person. i was always wondering if looking at facebook pictures of people was bad if you didnt know them. after i watched this movie, i realized its not bad becuase theres much worse things you could do. defenate watch, i hope you enjoy it.

There's Very Little About Mary

Well, Ben Still is a zero. I knew that. I have never been other than annoyed by him, which, fortunately has not been often. But this one came so highly recommended that I finally plunged in. Oh, is this a dumb film. Oh my. It is stupid and ugly and insulting and creepy and sad. How many laughs can we get from a guy getting his privates stuck in a zipper? 15 minutes worth? Yow--that's more than milking a joke, that's making hard cheddar from a joke that wasn't that funny (and is ridiculously implausible to begin with in every way.) There were rare moments of humor, but few and vary, very far between. This is not a zero film, or even a one, but two is certainly stretching it.

No need to write more on this. This was a film that left me ice cold, not the slack jawed dumbfoundment that anyone anywhere under any circumstances could like it, as I have felt on occasion, but a sad lonely feeling that these jokes could be found amusing by anyone over the age of about twelve.

I bought the Collector's Edition (fortunately, very cheaply) and I cannot imagine circumstances under which I will want to devote any more of my life to this limp, saggy, and stupid movie. Disc 2 will remain unused for as long as I own it. March 27, 2008

Over-rated.

There's Something About Mary isn't funny like people say but it's not horrible either. In my opinion, this film is over-rated. There are some eye-catching moments and Cameron Diaz is a cutiepie in this but Ben Stiller's robotic acting keeps this film at a standstill. Matt Dillon always gives a good performance and the Farrelly Brothers have a great sense of humor, I think their best movie is Shallow Hal rather than this one. I tried many times to like this film more but it just doesn't stick, oh well. March 1, 2008
