There's Something About Mary

Pros: Acting, Writing, Music, Humor
Cons: Bodily humor may be too much for some

I know what you’re thinking: “David, what do you mean you never saw There’s Something About Mary until last week?!” Well, you said it pretty well. I just never really had the opportunity to see the most celebrated effort of the Farelly Brothers...

Pros: Perfect cast, very funny
Cons: Very crude and rude

What I love about Something About Mary is that if you remove a couple of scenes and change a few lines, it is basically a sappy romance story that could have starred Julia Roberts or Meg Ryan. However, the amazing Farrelly brothers (who brought us...

Pros: There's Something About Mary is HILARIOUS!
Cons: None

There's Something About Mary (1998) Directed by The Farrelly Brothers (Kingpin & Shallow ...

Pros: The concept is OK.
Cons: The delivery is ka-ka.

Peter and Bobby Farrelly (of the “Dumb and Dumber” persuasion) have pieced together a movie that is part comedy and part romance and 100% junior high school, gross out nasty with boogers on top.

There is Something About Mary...

Pros: Wickedly funny script; great performances; skewers "political correctness" mercilessly
Cons: Gave me an ache in my side from laughing too hard

When I sat down to compose an entry for the “Favorite Comedy Movie Write-Off” (details at the end of this review), I had a tough choice. First, I thought about submitting the imrovisational humor of the news organizations on November 7th: Dumb and...

Pros: The characters; the actors.
Cons: Nothing, really. It's just disgusting.

There's Something About Mary is something that can be enjoyed by those who can empathize with it, and those who have no idea what it's like to be in the main character's situation... Yes, some people see this movie and say, "Ha! I've had no ...

Pros: Funny, charming, great performances, original concepts.
Cons: Some of the jokes are very lowbrow and gross, the story is somewhat inconsistent.

If there's any genre that could use improvement, the lowbrow screwball comedy is it. One does not associate such films with authentic romance, intricate plotting, and witty scripting – which, ironically, are all qualities possessed by "There's Something ...

Pros: original, brilliant performances
Cons: Lee Evans is badly cast

I first saw this film just over a year ago. I was in hysterics. Watching it again yesterday, I was reminded why. The script is hilarious, the humour is original and the performances are great. This truly is a masterpiece, from director Peter...

Pros: Very funny, surprises, good love story intertwined
Cons: May be too crude for some

****Reveals Plot Points But Little About Plot Details and Does Not Give Away Any Jokes or Surprises**** “There’s Something About Mary” is one of the best comedies to come out of the 90s. Like most Farrelly Brothers movies, there are ...

Pros: The comedy is well-timed, hip-shooting grotesquerie; the DVD set with copious extras.
Cons: The movie is still disgusting and queasy to watch.

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY is a 20th Century Fox presentation, rated R for strong comic sex ...

Pros: The Cast Was The Only Good Thing
Cons: The Awful Script, Story, And Humor

There's Nothing About Mary is what this film should have been titled. The story was stupid to the point of ridiculous. For a movie to be stupid and funny is one thing, but when it's stupidly ridiculous.. forget about it! In order for me to appreciate...

Pros: Great story and comical
Cons: the soundtrack

The storyline ------------------- Back in his school days Ted was not what you would call good looking or popular, he was a walking disaster. Some how he managed to catch the eye of Mary, who agreed to go to the prom with him. He went to her house ...

Pros: Terrific cast, well staged moments of slapstick comedy
Cons: Offensive....but in a good way

Smart, funny, beautiful and kind, a sports fan, a beer drinker and all round cutie pie, it's fair to say that there certainly IS something about Mary.

The Farrelly brothers' third movie (after Dumb And Dumber and the spectacularly gross...

Pros: Funny as anything
Cons: A little immature

I had the pleasure of taping this movie when it hit HBO last summer. It's one of the funniest movies of the 90's because of little things that you laugh at usually the second time around. Sure, it's "stupid" comedy like Jim Carrey but as long...

Pros: There's something about Cameron Diaz... She's like mmmmm, mmmmm, good ;)
Cons: None that I can think of...

"There's Something About Mary" is a downright hilarious film, one of the funniest flicks I've seen. "There's Something About Mary" was written, produced and directed by that amazing filmmaking-comedy duo of the nineties, the Farley Brothers, and it...

Pros: Cameron Diaz is charming
Cons: Too low brow, wallowing in the cinematic toilet just doesn't appeal to me

"There's Something About Mary" is the Farrelly brothers' third exercise in excessive toilet humor. These two men wallow in the humor that makes 8-year-olds squeal with delight and parents blush crimson.
Dumb and Dumber was strike one on...

Pros: So dumb its funny
Cons: Moose shot in the hair - nasty

If you take a lot of things to offense, this movie is not for you! But if you like comedy, funny, crazy stuff this movie is just right for you. "There's something about Mary" puts the funny back in funny. Parts of the story can be taken...

Pros: The story, if anyone paid attention to it, is actually fairly original and well plotted
Cons: It's really not as funny as it was supposed to be

This is a stupid movie.

Actually, it's not as stupid as it'd like to think.

I heard that it was laugh out loud funny, but the funny that comes from grossing you out to the extreme, from being totally irreverent. I watched it....

Pros: Highly amusing, light hearted, simple.
Cons: None.

THE PLOT

The story is about "Ted" (Ben Stiller) who fell in love with "Mary" (Cameron Diaz) in high school. The only date they had was their senior prom, but unfortunately due to extremely painful circumstances, the...

Pros: Hysterical, Off-Color Humor That Just Doesn't Stop
Cons: Some Politically Incorrect and Sexual Content

I did not want to see this movie (like most "hyped out flicks"); however, my daughter received it for Christmas, so on a boring moment I watched it.

I can not remember laughing so much through any movie in a very long time. Each new...

Pros: Plotline, Well written, humorous moments
Cons: regular unbelieveable slapstick coincidences

The Farrely Brothers have kinda of molded the current brand of senseless, perverted, and often obscene slapstick comedy. Not that that's a bad thing, because films like "Kingpin", "Outside Providence", and "Dumb and Dumber"...

Pros: good theme song; some funny sight gags; good ending (it did end, thank god)
Cons: There is not enough room in all of internet to post what is wrong with this foul flick.

This crude comedy makes "Dumb and Dumber" seem "Bright and Brighter". This is scatological humor (sh-- wit, for short) at almost its lowest. I sometimes like vulgar humor, but it must be backed up with cleverness.

If...

Pros: funny
Cons: none

I didn't like the commercials and I thought the title was dumb. But when I actually got there, it was sort of a shock. The basic plot is that this guy wants to get together with his long-lost high school sweetheart (Cameron Diaz), but complications...

Pros: Lots of exciting laughable moments.
Cons: It will leave a smile on your face. Though may not be suitable for all viewers.

I could not believe I enjoyed this movie as much as I did. It may not win any awards. But for laugher the votes are in. There's Something About Mary is total hilarious.

I just love Ben Stiller. He reminds me so much of Steve Martin, John Candy...

Pros: funny
Cons: I don't own it yet

Very seldom do I see a movie that I can watch over and over again. There's Something About Mary is one of these movies. This is definitely one that will be added to my small, but great movie collection.

I will refrain from going into great...

Pros: originality, humor, story
Cons: characters, sometimes too silly

Bobby and Peter Farrelly directed, co-wrote, and executive produced this highly successful slapstick comedy. The Farrelly brothers continued their winning streak, which began with "Dumb & Dumber" and "Kingpin". The
comedy,...

Pros: Good Base Story
Cons: Cheap Humor that smothers the story

I found this movie in the bargain bin of my local video store and thought "Wow! What I Deal!" Especially when you think of all of the raving reviews this movie received. So, I bought it and took it home. I popped it in the VCR and pretty...

Pros: The laughs never stop
Cons: too few to even say here

I went to the movies to see this expecting a usual comedy. Instead, I laughed a LOT harder than I ever thought I would. This was one of those movies where you actually laugh so often and hard, that it hurts. I can remember gasping for air between the...

Pros: Funny, Entertaining, Fun
Cons: Boring Music

The Movie, "There's Something About Mary", is one of the funniest movies I have seen in my days. This comedy is surprisingly amusing and it will keep you entertained for an hour and a half. I saw this movie mostly out of boredom, but when it...

Pros: Quirky & Funny
Cons: Humor is a bit crude

"There's Something About Mary" is a romantic comedy about a normal guy (Ben Stiller) who decides to look up his high-school dream-girl (Cameron Diaz) about 10 years after their senior prom date. There's just something about her that he can't...

Pros: Funny, slapstick, talented cast
Cons: drawn out at points

I knew I would love this movie. All of my friends had told me about it and said I HAD to see it (they know my humor).If you love stupid humor and slapstick comedy like me, this is a good movie for you. My boyfriend prefers dry humor so he hated this...

Pros: the cast is so funny and Diaz is oooh so gorgeous!!
Cons: : the jokes are a bit dirty, i guess

There’s Something About Mary’’ is one of those movies that I heard a lot about but was able to shrug off. it was released on video.Afterwards, I realized waiting was my mistake.

When a prank involving a mentally retarded boy named Warren (W....

Pros: Nice cast, Bret Favre (if you're a 49ers fan, they diss the Packers.)
Cons: Acting, Bret Favre (if you're a Packer fan, like me), cursing, plot.

This movie never made me fall out of my seat laughing, but it did bring a few snickers out of me, I've got to admit. Ben Stiller is SO not funny in this movie, which surprised me, he's usually very funny. Cameron Diez is terrible in this movie. Sure,...

Pros: Hilarious
Cons: A couple of disgusting jokes

There's a very good reason why this movie was in the theaters for so long: it's hilarious! Sure, some people say they don't like it due to "distasteful humor" but I feel that the humor simply tests the limits and it's always important to do...

Pros: Hilarious
Cons: Must be in groups of people to enjoy

There's Something About Mary was a hilarious comedy not suited for children under the age of 16. It is a romantic tale with a twist of sexual idioms. It features aspects of life that we can only hope and pray never happen to us. Disasters of zippers,...

Pros: FUNNY
Cons: not for kids

Okay so I know it is lame "toilet" humor but it is so funny. It is those funnies in the way, I can't believe he did that funny. You know like getting your manhood caught in your zipper...man I can't believe he did that funny. I laughed a ton at...

Pros: Hilarious, politically incorrect.
Cons: Some gags are milked way too long.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY: Romantic (black) comedy. Hilarious. Grotesque. Politically incorrect. Outrageous. These are the adjectives that have come to define the films of Bobby and Peter Farrelly ("Dumb and Dumber", "Kingpin")....

Pros: laughed so hard thought I'd pee my pants
Cons: saw it in the theatre next to males who were too empathetic about plight of the star

Saw this movie in a huge theatre where the seats are 13" wide. To my left was my girlfriend on the aisle and to my right were two men who had come together to see the movie. When the star's penis was caught in his zipper and all were in the...

Pros: Comedic Aspects
Cons: none

This is a completely delightful romantic comedy, though, by the looks of it you'd never guess it as such.. Stars Ben Stiller, playing the part of a heart broken man who lost his only true love in life when she moved away in high school out of state..15...

Pros: The funny parts are hilarious
Cons: The funny parts are sporadic and not enough, all together to keep this a film worth seeing

I was so psyched about seeing "There's Something About Mary", because the previews made it appear to be a comedy that would be, for once, a movie that would have you rolling on the floor start to finish.

The beginning of the film...

Pros: had a few funny parts
Cons: no story

There may, indeed, be something about Mary, but I can't see anything
about this movie which has caused so much hype and excitement. I
have friends who have watched this multiple times in the theatre and
claim to love it. And, although...

Pros: absolutely hilarious
Cons: some sensitive material for younger children

This movie is absolutely one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. Carmen Diaz is a very talented young lady and I can't wait to see more of her in the future. Ben Stiller is also a talented young man.

There's something about Mary...

Pros: Cathartic for young guys
Cons: Dumber than dumb, at times

Yeah, There's something about slender, slinky blondes with affable countenances. They'll get you every time...as Cameron Diaz does in this ribald, low comedy farce.

Matt Dillon and Ben Stiller play a couple of her hapless admirers but there...

Pros: Great movie.
Cons: none

Last year I went up to New Hampshire with a large group of friends . Ok you may be thinking what does this have to do with the movie by now. Well one night we went into one of our friends condos to watch this movie. After the scene where Ben Stiller...

Pros: Several laugh-out-loud moments
Cons: Sometimes too gross

I thought Dumb and Dumber was tasteless. I thought Kingpin was even more tasteless. Little did I know the Farrely Brothers' most conventional comedy, There's Something About Mary, would have the least taste of all. This is a movie where a woman uses...

Pros: Hilarious
Cons: Not for all tastes

Romantic comedies have been out for a long time. They're conventional now. Until Mary. It's a low-brow hilarious comedy. With a bit of romance.

And, boy, is it hilarious. From the indoor wrestling match and *ahem* zipper accident, to the...

Pros: great all the family
Cons: i didn't have nothing

I already this film tree times. One friend of mine recommended and i didn't regret. I loved the movie "There's something about Mary. It's a very interesting and funny history. Cameron Diaz was very beautiful and perfect like a pretty girl Mary. Matt...

Pros: funny, despite what my review would lead you to believe
Cons: a bit mean-spirited at times, perhaps too much so for its own good

First of all, before I go any further, let me say that I did like There's Something About Mary, for the most part. Don't get me wrong. I thought it was funny.

However . . . I didn't find it anywhere near as hilarious as...

Pros: Hilarious, Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller
Cons: Some jokes go a little too far, but still funny.

Usually, when I go to a movie, there's always these periods of time where the action and dialogue stops, and it gives you a chance to move around in your seat, look around, and get ready for the next part of the movie. This movie was different. Not once...

Pros: nothing
Cons: the movie

Alright, so this movie was one of the "biggest" things I've ever seen in my hometown. I saw the commercials and purposely avoided it like the plague. But after a while people where still talking about it, so I had to see what all of the fuss...

Pros: Good Cast
Cons: Unimaginative, gross humor. No real story.

I didn't see this film in the theater because I'm not a big fan of the Farrelly's gross-out sense of humor. People farting, burping, vomiting or doing anything else that involves bodily fluids is not high humor to me. However, I again thought that...

Pros: new
Cons: wasn't that funny

When I was about to rent a movie, some of my friends told me that There's Something About Mary was downright hilarious, but one of them said it wasn't that funny. Besides the infamous zipper scene, the jokes about Mongo, and a few random scenes here and...

Pros: you don't have to rent it
Cons: it is sorry and nothing but sorry

This movie isn't as funny as its supposed to be. There are few funny parts including the hair gel scene, wait a second that's the only funny scene. I don't see how people can like this movie, Ben Stiller is a retard, Cameron Diaz is a slut, and all the...

Pros: It's just a movie anyone can enjoy!!!!!!
Cons: I don't like the story's ending, it's weird.

I seen this movie because I had nothing better to do at the time. So I decided to watch it. I would say I really enjoyed it, I liked mostly the beginning because of the part where the main character gets his monkey stuck in his fly and everybody walked...

Pros: rolling in the aisles humor
Cons: rolling in the aisles potty humor

Sure it's crude - but sometimes the best things in life are. Mary is chance for audiences to just sit and enjoy someone else's mishaps and bad judgement calls in regards to dating.
Besides, it's hard to have a miss with Ben Stiller at the helm....

Pros: One of the funnies movies of all time
Cons: That it didn't last longer

This movie has got to be on my top 5 movie list of all time. I couldn't count how many times I had to pause the movie because I kept missing parts while I was rolling on the ground with tears in my eyes, it was that funny. Whoever wrote the...

Pros: There were pros?
Cons: Juvenile

Unless you are a hormone driven, purile, 14 year old boy, don't bother with the movie. It was offensive to a 19 year old! Let's just say that I'm sure you have seen the clip where he gets himself stuck in the zipper? Well they show him stuck in the...

Pros: Good Cast
Cons: Big let down. I thought it could have been better.

I shelled out $7.50 at the theatres to see this movie because of the previews. They made Something About Mary out to be a hilarious comedy which in all truth was an utter and complete let down!
About the only funny points in the whole movie...

Pros: Ben Stiller is too funny!
Cons: A little gross at times

The Farrelly Brothers have made some of the truly funniest comedies ever.
Ben Stiller is one of the most funniest people ever. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that these two teaming up would make a truly comedic experience. There's...

Pros: Ben Stiller is very funny
Cons: Lots of crude humor

I was what you might call a late bloomer when it comes to this movie. I didn’t go see it when it was in the theaters. When it came out on video, I still didn’t see it. But with a little presure from my brother, I finally rented it. I can almost kick...

Pros: Funny, funny, funny
Cons: May be a little harsh for certain tastes

When this movie first came to theatres, a friend told me that I reminded him of the lead character. Being compared to Cameron Diaz (not a bad thing)prompted me to see the movie and judge for myself. I had not heard the buzz on the movie so I went in...

Pros: Hilarious, Great story
Cons: sometimes a little too stupid

There’s Something About Mary revels in being stupid. If there was a “Mona Lisa” for gross-out comedy then “Mary” is it. There’s Something About Mary was directed by the Faralley brothers from a screenplay by Ed Decter and John J. Strauss. It stars...

Pros: funny funny funny!
Cons: none

This movie is funny. It is well laid out and has a good plot to it. I would understand a woman of that quality who i use to like, i would go find her and re-meet her to! this movie is so funny, and i love just to sit down on a friday nigth and watch it...

Pros: was hysterically funny
Cons: not suitable for children under 12

This movie was one that I purchased, which is one of very few. I can't remember when I had laughed as hard as I did while watching this delightful movie. It had a cute story line, kept my interest and the best part, I laughed so hard, my sides ached!...

Pros: Funny funny, Daiz is beautiful
Cons: a little crude

Something About Mary is just incredibly funny. Not kinda funny, not funny, incredibly funny is the description. Check out this comedy. even if you have seen it a few times.

Mary is the woman that Ben Stiller has adored since high school....

Pros: So funny
Cons: i don't have any

I saw this movie the first day it came out in the theaters. The commercials for it looked so funny, my Husband and I just had to go see it. We never imagined how funny this movie would be. I honestly have to say that Theres Something about Mary is one...

Pros: Hilarious movie
Cons: Music could have been better

I am not a big fan of Ben Stiller but, I do have to say this was definitely one of his best movies yet. I did not stop laughing until after the credits were done rolling at the end of the movie. I was in stitches throughout the whole movie. I must of saw...

Pros: Funny brainless humor
Cons: the old ladies breasts

Ok maybe this movie will never be an acadamy award winner..You have to admit if you have a sense of humor at all that this movie was fun..Sure there wasnt much of a plot or a story line and the guy singing througout this movie made me wanna punch...

Pros: fast-paced, sweet comedy
Cons: Matt Dillon looks horrible! =]

I had to see this movie just because I am a sucker for movies starring Matt Dillon. (Oh yeah, by the way, I am a female, despite my ID name! =])

I would have to say that I wasn't too disappointed with the movie. My main disappointment in the...

Pros: Slap your knee funny
Cons: Corny

Being a baby boomer, this movie brought me in and out of my own crazy high school days! I can even closely relate to some of the things in the movie. I remember the time..... no I won't go there.

Some of the subject matter did go over...

Pros: One Great Comedy
Cons: NONE

This is one great movie with some of the serious comedy anyone with a sense of humor would enjoy.It's Just one of the comedies that will have your funny bone in a uproar ,I saw this with all the right people in the room .
Which made it even...

Pros: very funny parts to this one
Cons: none

If you love to root for the underdog, then Something About Mary is the movie you need to see. Starring a great cast of Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Dillon, they put together a wonderful chemistry of comedy. Made in 1998, this movie is a must-see...

Pros: Good dirty fun.
Cons: Predictable ending. In fact, after several viewings, one can see what's coming.

Comedies have a hard time pleasing me. Most of the time, they have a few good lines, but they end up being extremely stupid and corny. However, there's something about There's Something About Mary which is quite different from other comedies in recent...

Pros: None that I could think of
Cons: Bad acting by female lead and overall gutter humor

The title is "Something About Mary" and I never could figure out what that something is. Somehow Cameron Diaz manages to accumulate a following of suitors without displaying any real charm (or acting ability). As for the gags, this film is...

Pros: Is there any?
Cons: Boring, simple plot, does not make much sense.

There's something about Mary is a basic and simple film that has nothing more than a few in your face gags and stupid punchlines. There's Something About Mary was a film for the poor sighted. The people who sit and watch a film for the sake of it and...

Pros: A near comedy classic - some truly great scenes AND Cameron Diaz
Cons: not much

Oh boy - where shall I start?
I really was unsure about going to see this film. The title was a bit naff, the cast uninspiring, apart that is from the monumentally gorgeous Cameron Diaz, but I'm so glad I did.

The preview clips I'd seen...

Pros: Boy, I wish I had something nice to say here
Cons: Everyone associated with this movie ought to be a "Con"

I'm looking at this blank page and just above it on my computer screen is the question "Who would enjoy this movie?". That has me chuckling here because I'm trying to envision what that 11 year old moron could look like. I actually saw...

Pros: I can see they tried to make it a hit...
Cons: story line just not there...

Ok, after watching the previews for this one, I was excited to see it. I could not wait to see a good hilarious comedy. I am really sorry but did I miss something ??? I don't think one time during this movie did I even laugh. I really just didn't get...

Pros: This movie can make people laugh at a funeral, Police scene is Ben Stiller classic--the best
Cons: Happy Gilmore is still the funniest movie

...In Your Zipper you'll laugh so hard.
If you like movies like Happy Gilmor, Dumb And Dumber, Tommyboy, you'll love this movie. Ben Stiller makes this movie incredibly funny and definitely must catch it. I love Slapstick comedies, and this takes...

Pros: Great Plot with plenty of hilarious twists!
Cons: Cant think of one!

There's Something About Mary is a hilarious movie with many hilarious plot twists on it's already hilarious plot. It stars Cameron Diaz who plays Mary Mathews (Jenson). Ben Stiller who plays Ted,he is the main guy that is obsessed w/ Mary. Matt Dillon...

Pros: Real funny
Cons: nothing according to me

I really loved to watch this movie. It is really funny and makes you laugh a lot. It is a real entertainer. Some scenes in the movie such as the dog attacking the hero make you laugh all the time. When you think of the movie some days later some scenes...

Pros: Very funny, good plot
Cons: Some may find the humor offensive

This movie is a laugh a minute with surprises around every corner. It is not for young people or children. Defenitly an adult movie. But for the adults who appreciate a ridiculous humor it is one of the best. I laughed so hard at one point, I fell...

Pros: funny, original, great actors
Cons: poor dog, old woman frontal nudity

First I want to say I thought this was a great movie. I laughed through the whole thing, accept for that one part with the old woman with no top on. Cameran Diez did a wonderful job and her character, Mary, was really special, there definitely was...

Pros: Everyone knows immediately that there are NO PEOPLE LIKE THAT IN THE REAL WORLD!
Cons: It leaves you worrying about the real nature of your health provider

I only saw this movie to silence my 15 year-old daughter. I'm now engaged in trying to decide whether she should be rewarded for pushing me, or grounded for wasting my time. Although I'm getting tired of all the big, wide-mouthed, toothy beauties...

Pros: makes you laugh...a lot
Cons: might be considered offensive

I loved this movie. Normally I don't care for movies where everything has to do with sex (it's getting old) but this is the exception. I literally fell off the sofa watching this movie.
A lot of it is sight gags which really works for...

Pros: Nothing!!! Absolutely Nothing!!!
Cons: I spent money renting this. Refund! Refund!

I never saw this in the theater, but I did rent it! My husband, daughter, her friends, and I sat down to watch what we had heard was one of the best comedy movies of the year!

I watched and waited and waited and waited for the first laugh....

Pros: Great slapstick, tailor-made cast.
Cons: Raunchy, not politically-correct humor!

I never saw this movie when it was in the theaters. I didn't really like "Dumb and Dumber", and I wasn't sure about "Kingpin". Here was another film by the same pair behind those two films, and I was hesitant about it.

...

Pros: Fun and Funny
Cons: Not appropriate for Children

This was a great movie! Lighthearted and upbeat...the movie poked fun at many dating and relating situations in single America. I think the movie will be a classic example of humor in the 1990s.

It was shocking and irreverent but clearly...

Pros: Easy to follow story line
Cons: Cheap humor based on sex & pain

After hearing all of the reviews raving about this movie I decided to see what all of the fuss was about. I was surprised. I found hits to be a crudely humorous movie about a guy desperate for the attention of a girl. I would have loved this movie if...

Pros: Cameron Diaz
Cons: not for the faint of heart

Movies are about suspension of reality. Well I think this one may take it a little far sometimes. It is not for the faint of heart and appeals to a certain audience. If you put away your judgementalness for awhile, you will really enjoy this movie....

Pros: great plot and actors
Cons: sometimes corny

Not only does There's something about Mary have great actors and a great plot, it's also hilarious. Ben Stiller plays Ted who is a total loser who was asked to the prom by the high school beauty queen played by Cameron Diaz. Unfortunately, Ted has an...

Pros: Better than a sleeping pill
Cons: Better than a sleeping pill

If you didn't get swept into the Mary-thing when it hit theatres, then you likely discovered the skirt-clutching photo of Cameron Diaz peering at you on the video rack...and that's a perfect place to leave it. What exactly it WAS about Mary will...

Pros: a laff a minute!
Cons: slightly immature toilet humor

I went to this movie on a whim with a friend -- no loss, we had free passes to the theater. I hadn't heard a thing about it, but gave in... you know, I really don't go for silly humor all that much, but this one got me roaring a mile a minute. I guess...

Pros: Diaz, the goss-outs
Cons: the gross-outs

I went into this movie with pretty high expectations; this wasn't because I have been so impressed with the Farrell Brothers previous works (see Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin, though both were good) or that the concept particularly intrigued me. No, these...

Pros: Funny, Good story line, great acting
Cons: Bad language, scenes, and elevated jokes

Sadness, hate, and anger rose up inside of me when I watched this movie. First of all, I was mad at my sister for taking me to see such a bad movie. By definition, a bad movie is one that doesn't have a happy ending. I remember feeling all of those...

Pros: Beautiful Mary
Cons: Stupid

I saw this movie because I heard that it was good. I patiently sat through the entire event waiting to see where the good part was hiding.

Basically, it is about a guy who remembers his high school date (that he never had) 13 years later. He...

Pros: Hilarious story and great performances
Cons: None

"There's Something About Mary" was an excellent movie. It was an original and interesting film. Cameron Diaz is just adorable in this movie. Ben Stiller was absolutely hilarious.

This is the story of about a high school crush and...

Pros: Cheap, easy laughs, and brainless.
Cons: Gross spermy jokes.

I saw this film because everyone was raving about how hilarious it is. Now, while I usually do not find gross humor funny, I admit, I laughed...a lot. It was camp comedy and mostly based on low IQ sight gags, which more toilet, body function, excretion...

Pros: Mary
Cons: There's nothing special about her!

This had to be the most over rated movie, of all time! The bad part is, it was over rated by my friends and family. I must have been the last person to see it and watching it at home, didn't help. There wasn't an audience sitting with me to infect me...

Pros: It features Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz and keeps you laughing throughout the movie.
Cons: You must possess a sick sense of humor to enjoy this twisted movie.

This movie has several senerios that will either gross you out or make you laugh. It shows that the not-so popular guy can get the popular girl's attention. This is one movie I have made part of my comedy collection. Ben Stiller is great in this...

Pros: Very funny!!!
Cons: None

I rented this movie because one of my best friends said that I couldn't miss this one. She said that she was laughing so hard, she was crying. So, I went for it. I was laughing so hard, my ribs were hurting! The story revolves around a woman who has...

Pros: Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, and the dog
Cons: the humor was a little offensive at times

Everyone else in my family had seen this movie without me, and they kept talking about it as though I had been there. I finally got a chance to see it, and I laughed throughout the entire movie. Most of it was a chuckle here and there, but there were a...

Pros: Cameron Diaz, if you think she's pretty (I don't really think she is).
Cons: They charge money to rent/see this.

Unfortunately, I knew some people who actually wanted to see this and had the choice of either staying home by myself or going along with it. I should have stayed home. This movie is hands down bar none the worst movie I have ever paid money to see....

Pros: none
Cons: none

Pros: Belly laugh funny, great cast
Cons: you will want to watch it over and over and over

How many times can I possibly see the same movie? I guess I have seen this incredibly funny movie probably eight or nine times now. I laugh from beginning to end. Honestly. Ben Stiller is such a great comedic actor that it amazes me everytime I watch...

Pros: funny movie

I laughed so hard I cried at this movie. It was so funny. I never really liked Ben Stiller alot until I saw this movie. He was great! Camerin Diaz did a great job as well. She is so pretty and she played the perfect part.

I think the prom...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

I saw the movie titled "There's Something about Mary" because all of my friends said it was hilarious. Right from the minute it started, I almost was in tears laughing so hard. "There's Something about Mary" is about a very desired...

Pros: Great cast, hilarious

This movie had me in stitches. It has a great cast in great roles and the script was very well written. The movie has sort of a surprise ending. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves to laugh. It's a great movie to watch during a movie party or...

Pros: very, very funny
Cons: none that I could see

There's Something About Mary is one of the funniest movies I've seen in my entire life!!! My husband & I laughed until our stomach's hurt. The movie is truly hilarious! It's the first romantic comedy that I've seen in awhile that is really both,...

Pros: Very funny
Cons: Don´t see

It´s the best comedy I´ve seen in the past´s years. Matt Dillon is fantastic and even I became mad about Mary..... I don´t like this kind of movie at all, but this one was fantastic. You just can´t stop laughing with the bizarre situations. The...

Pros: absoulutely hilarious hilarious perfomances
Cons: none

Cameron Diaz stars in this sick, rude, politically incorrect comedy. But you'd have to be in a stone to say that this movie is anything but aboulutely hilarious. The movie is about a guy named Ted played by Ben Stiller who after, 13 years sends a private...

Pros: Funny at times
Cons: Predictable

I saw this movie only because a friend lent it to me. I'm glad I saw it, but only so I'll be in on the jokes quoted in society. It wasn't that great. I realize a 'romantic comedy' has to have a 'happy ending', but I wish JUST ONCE the guy wouldn't get...

Pros: A belly laugh every fifteen minutes
Cons: A cringeworthy horror every thirty seconds

I wouldn't presume to say that this kind of humour just isn't funny. I am fully aware that it is my own shortcomings and discomfort with violent scrotum humour and humiliation that mean that I couldn't watch this film without squirming in my seat,...

Pros: Teenagers love it
Cons: Too long, too confusing

My daughter bugged me until I finally sat down and watched this on tv. She thought it was hilarious. I dutifully sat through the two hours waiting for it to get better. It certainly seemed a lot longer than that and I was itching to get up and do...

Pros: kinda offensive
Cons: kinda offensive

THERE'S SOMTHING ABOUT MARY is brought to you by the director of the cult classic DUMB AND DUMBER, Peter Farrelly. I loved this movie, it hit me in that warm fuzzy part... the funny bone. Ill tell you there is nothing better than coming home from a...

Pros: Sometimes more than a bit funny...
Cons: Sometimes more than a bit gross...

Background:

Overview:

I gave this movie a 7 out of 10. I think that it is the ugly duckling of...

Pros: utilizes surprises, keeps you laughing
Cons: can't be viewed more than once, unless of course you're psychofreud :)

There's Something About Mary is a story about comedic misfortunes. One lone man endures countless acts of misfortunes through the course of this film. From drugged dogs, to zippers, to masturbation mishap, to "architects" moonlighting as...

Pros: Quite funny for a slapstick movie
Cons: Plot was a bit slow in some parts

Even though I don't like the slapstick comedy movies, I'll have to admit that this one was okay.

The movie is about a guy (Ben Stiller) who falls in love with Mary (Cameron Diaz), but she has to move away because one of her ex-boyfriends is...

Pros: It's a funny movie. Good moral Lessons(for kids). Cameron Diaz
Cons: Ben Stiller ;) It's not coventional(Is it really bad?) It has a large amount of dark humor(Is it really bad?)

After seeing the promo I felt I really need to know what was about Mary...
And I wasn't disappointed!
What can I say? the movie is composed with pure geniuses!
And I couldn't possibly find a more suitable actress to play Mary
rather...

Pros: Ben Stiller, Hilarious, Must have in your DVD collection
Cons: Some bad language, sex and some disturbing boobies!

This is a MUST SEE! Put the kids to bed and close their doors because you will be laughing until the tears come rolling from your eyeballs! Cameron is not my favorite actress but she is really funny in this movie. I do love Ben Stiller though and he's just wonderful!
