This movie is one of the funniest movies ever I have watched so many comedy movies but this one of the best comedy movies ever.

I do love comedy, some of my favourite films/shows are comedy based. But I have seen There's Something About Mary three times now, and I didn't like/wasn't engaged by it either time.

I do like how it looks, the film does look striking, I like the soundtrack, there was one joke that I was amused at(the one in the bathroom) and the performances of Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz are good.

However, apart from one joke, I just didn't find There's Something About Mary funny. The Farrelly Brothers I know are notorious for their lack of subtlety, but I was expecting something funnier considering the reputation it has. The script is full of dialogue that is rather juvenile and tasteless and the gags are puerile and fall flat more than they score. I know people will say this is what makes the film funny, I respect that, it's just not my kind of humour, that's all. The premise is simple, I have no problem with that. When the story is this thin and this predictable, I am not so kind. The film feels unevenly paced too, then again it probably has a lot to do with the lack of laughs from my experience, and the characters I don't care about.

Overall, I wanted to like it, but it didn't work for me. Maybe I'll see it again some day and pray that my reaction will be different then. 4/10 Bethany Cox

From the Farrelly brothers, this is their highly inappropriate entry. After Dumb & Dumber and Kingpin, they're going further into outrageousness. Has there ever been another zipper incident filmed like that? That was some visual of those twig and berries. Who could forget the hair gel? Ted (Ben Stiller) is a nice guy who come to the defence of Mary (Cameron Diaz)'s mentally handicap brother. She agrees to go to the prom, but something terrible happens and they don't see each other for 13 years. He still pines for her, and hires sleazy PI Healy (Matt Dillon) to find her. Only Healy falls for her too, and he uses all his underhanded skills to get her.

If there was one problem, it was that Ben Stiller couldn't get involved with Cameron Diaz sooner. For a long while, Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon were doing their dance all by themselves. A more tougher write could have integrated everybody. That is a minor problem which is soon forgotten with the craziness. I remember as we got up to leave the theater, I hear a little girl bugging her big sister about what was behind his ear, and the big sis who couldn't shut her up. That's when I knew that it was mission accomplished.
