crazy flick
Verified purchase
Starts out a little bit slow and just when you think things aren't going well they get even worse. It's hilarious and you never know what's coming next.

Cute Movie About a Woman Who's Sought After A Number of Suitors
Verified purchase
Comical. Sweet. "Does-the-guy-get-the-girl" kind of movie. Chick flick all the way, but a guy who's a romantic will enough this movie, too. I promise.

I love Cameron Diaz, I miss her on the screen.

When the Farrelly Brothers finally figured everything out
Verified purchase
Something About Mary was a Farrelly Brothers romantic comedy featuring Mary (Cameron Diaz) and Ted (Ben Stiller). He fell in love with her in high school and then tried to find her when he became an adult. The problem is he hires a private detective Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) to find her and he falls in love with her as well creating a love triangle.

The movie marks when the Farrelly Brothers started calming down and didn’t go for as much slap stick and craziness. There are some over the top moments however which they’re known for. One of the most famous from the movie was when Ted zips up his pants too quickly and gets his thing caught in it. Mary’s dad then shows it off to everyone that comes over from his wife, to a policeman to a fireman. Another time Pat drugs a dog of Mary’s friend and it almost dies on him. He uses some wires from a lamp to revive it, but not before it bursts into flames which he has to put out. Most of the movie is much more subdued and there's a lot of romance as well.

It still stands out as one of the best films the brothers put out.

Surreal Raunch Meets Heartfelt Romance
Verified purchase
Long before bodily fluids jokes hit the windshield of tastemaker disdain, "There's Something About Mary" paired whip-smart dialogue with the kind of "worst nightmare" gags that once kept teen males from a good night's sleep. Yet revisiting this watershed comedy movie reminds us how it transcended mere raunch to wholly smash the box office: This is a film of disarming heart, making "There's Something About Mary" fun for the whole (adult) family.

Having secured as his prom date the captivating Mary (Cameron Diaz), the yearnings of Ted (Ben Stiller) are dashed by a busted zipper. Years on, he deploys grease-slicked private investigator Patrick (Matt Dillon) to pin down Mary's whereabouts. We're led to Miami, where Mary is a beautiful and single orthopedic surgeon. Patrick himself is smitten; his attempts to court Mary are pitted against Ted's desires to rekindle.

Along the way, we're treated to cartoonish buffoonery and surrealist fantasy, all while sexual vulgarities and gleeful immaturities rain down en masse. The film's audacious rep is well-earned, as is its historical clout: “There’s Something About Mary” sits at #27 among AFI's 100 Funniest Movies. - (Was this of use?
