nirazoo I think the high school parts were really hilarious and well acted. I prefer those scenes more than the time they have grown up. Visiting the house to take Mary for prom was very funny and written well. The chemistry between the two lead Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. Matt Dillon was very good and funny. Also the rest of the cast were good too. Other than these facts, the movie was an average rom-com which really gets boring at a point. Even though every actor gave their best performance, the script could have been better. The thing I liked about the movie was the laughs and the soundtrack that was very suprisingly cheerful Overall, I would refer this movie for laughs (It has a lot of hilarious scenes in it) and for the chemistry between Ben and Cameron. So that is why I give this film a 6 stars

classicsoncall When I initially saw this film twenty years ago, it was my first look at Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller, probably Matt Dillon too. Frozen in time, I don't think Diaz ever looked better. The story then proceeded to throw in some scandalous moments, like the zipper incident and the 'hair gel' scene. I recall getting embarrassed in the theater, not so much for myself but for the actors involved. This is one of your lowest common denominator pictures that will appeal to prepubescent young males and perhaps a slightly deranged adult or two. Adding even more to Stiller's embarrassment was that lame wrestling bit with Puffy; not even a pretense that the thing was a stuffed animal. There's only one legitimate recommendation coming out of the movie, and that was Mary's (Diaz) advice to watch "Harold and Maude". Check that one out for some real laughs.

napo0523 There's Something About Mary is a romantic comedy. Mary is a pretty girl who is liked by many people in high school. One day a sober and shy boy falls in love with her and luckily he gets chance to go out on a date with her. However, there is an accident during the date. Mary and the boy do not see each other after that.After thirteen years have passed, the boy cannot forget about her. He decides to ask a detective to find out her. The detective finds the girl and she is still cute so he falls in love with her. Then the detective tells a lie to the boy that she is now fat and has illness…The movie was directed by Farrelly brothers and broadcasted in 1998. The story includes a lot of funny scenes so we can enjoy whole part of the movie.

Tweekums Sixteen year old Ted can't believe his luck when the beautiful Mary invited him to the school prom but things go disastrously when he gets caught in his zipper and ends up in an ambulance rather than going to the prom! Sixteen years later he is still obsessed with Mary even though he hasn't seen her since that dreadful night. His friend Dom says he knows private investigator who can find her; Ted hires the man, Healy, and he soon reports that she is now living in Miami, has four kids by three fathers and looks like a whale… only one of these details is true; she is in Miami but she is still beautiful and childless… so beautiful in fact that sleazy Healy sets about wooing her. Having eaves-dropped her conversations he presents himself as the perfect man for her. There are problems for Healy though, a friend of Mary sees that he is a fraud and Ted decides that he'd like to see Mary again whatever she looks like.This is probably not the rom-com to buy your mother for Christmas… unless she enjoys jokes about blokes getting their genitals caught is their zips, a woman accidentally using semen as hair gel or dogs being drugged and nearly dying. If that sort of crudeness offends then it is best to avoid this but if not there should be enough laughs to be had. The story itself is standard rom-com fare; boy loves girl but she is in love with the wrong guy it is just that the laughs along the way are often in poor taste… but some of those poor taste moments are the films funniest; although dog-lovers may disagree. Ben Stiller does a decent enough job as nice-guy Ted, even if he looked ridiculous when playing him aged sixteen. Cameron Diaz shines as the eponymous Mary but it is Matt Dillon who steals the show as Healy making the sleazy character almost likable due to the shear outrageousness of his actions. Overall if you are looking for some lowbrow humour you could do a lot worse than watch this.
