Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com There's Something About Mary is one of the funniest movies in years, recalling the days of the Zucker-Abraham-Zucker movies, in which (often tasteless) gags were piled on at a fierce rate. The difference is that cowriters and codirectors Bobby and Peter Farrelly have also crafted a credible storyline and even tossed in some genuine emotional content. The Farrelly brothers' first two movies, Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin, had some moments of uproarious raunch, but were uneven. With Mary, they've created a consistently hilarious romantic comedy, made all the funnier by the fact that you know that they know that some of their gags go way over the line. Cameron Diaz stars as Mary, every guy's ideal. Ben Stiller plays a high-school suitor still hung up on Mary years later; the obstacles standing between him and her include a number of psychotic suitors, a miserable little pooch, and, oh yeah, a murder charge. The Farrellys' admittedly simplistic camera work, which adapts easily to a TV screen, and the fact that you'll likely laugh yourself so silly over certain scenes you'll want to replay them to see what you were missing while you were busy convulsing, make this a perfect video movie. --David Kronke Additional Features This special edition contains never-before-seen footage and a karaoke music video. read more

Okay, I have two words for this movie: "funny" and "offbeat." I liked this movie, (I think)! It's definitely NOT your typical comedy, but maybe that's why it works! You definitely CAN NOT take this movie seriously, or you will be in serious trouble! It is hilarious at times, (if a bit unbelievable), with surprise twists of plot, at every turn. In addition,I thought Matt Dillon did a suburb job playing the obnoxious con-artist. I found this movie even funnier the second time around, since I knew a little more what to expect, and could just focus on the humor. The bottome line? If you aren't scared off by slightly weird, off the wall sexual humor and tons of sight gags, There's Something About Mary could be for you! I PROMISE you will not be bored watching it!

I finally watched this film, and boy did I love it. I can't see why people criticize this film as much as they do. It is not supposed to be viewed with such a critical eye, it is just meant to be viewed and enjoyed. In addition to being a hilarious comedy, it is also has a series of neat plot twists. Nobody can accuse this of being a predictable film. It is anything but predictable. It is in fact, a superb film, with a great cast.

The most unrealistic film I have ever seen...

What...It was supposed to be unrealistic? It's a comedy...and escape? Well, just to make sure we're all on the same page, he would have never (never say never) gotten the girl in real life. Humor galore, but you have to be able to relate somewhere along the line in order to fully enjoy this movie (just like Dumb and Dumber). This one's hair-raising fun to say the least. End.

There's Something about Mary is a great laugh for the mature audiences. It is absolutely hilarious. If you like the love game then you'll love this too.
