Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

Product Description

Boy meets girl. Boy loves girl. Boy discovers girl may be his sister. (Boy, this could be trouble.) To make matters worse, by the time he discovers "it isn't so," he has precious little time to stop the woman of his dreams from marrying another man. It's shameless romantic comedy at its finest produced by the twisted minds behind There's Something About Mary and Me Myself & Irene!

3.0 out of 5 stars sick but funny, September 22, 2007

By	Bridget Sage "Love2review" (Albany,NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Say It Isn't So (Video On Demand)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute little offbeat romance., February 11, 2002

By	Jayne Ravencroft (Matthews, NC) - See all my reviews

I guess I'm admitting to a guilty pleasure, but I liked this quirky little romance. It was a veritable roller-coaster ride of plot twists to delight any connosieur of zany ribald irreverent comedy. And the romantic mix is a plus. To say much more would give crucial twists away, so I won't. All I'll add, is isn't Heather Graham a marvel? She makes me wonder if she was cryogenically frozen for a decade or more. Until recently I'd known of her only from LICENSE TO DRIVE back in the late eighties or so. She was or looked like a teenager then. Nowadays she reappears in this and AUSTIN POWERS THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, still looking like a teenager and never loosing a beat with her acting ability and charm. As for her looks, I've heard of Oil of Olay, but this is ridiculous. Where has she been all this time? I hope she keeps up her good work and I see her in more movies soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are these people joking?, October 28, 2003

By	mdizzog (USA) - See all my reviews

My gosh, what is wrong with the people giving this movie 1 star! It is a funny movie. The movie is about incest, but it is funny. It's weird, but the plot is kind of like marrying his sister.

Anyways, the movie is funny. That dude from American Pie is in it, and he gets into trouble. The cow, the plane, and even the entire movie had me laughing hysterically.

The movie is great. It's good comedy, I don't know why others say differnetly.
