The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

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.

Simply dull, gross humor, story of some stalkers and a stupid bitch. That's all!

There's Something About Mary is a comedic film that features Cameron Diaz in a star-making title role together with Matt Dillon and Ben Stiller.It is a film by the Farrelly brothers that combines romantic comedy and gross humor.The film starts when an awkward and shy 16-year-old high-school student named Ted Stroehmann lands a prom date with his dream girl Mary Jensen.Unfortunately,it was cut short by a painful and embarrassing zipper accident. After he suffers from the ordeal of pain and embarrassment, Ted end up in the hospital after the incident and loses touch with Mary.Thirteen years later, Ted is still in love.He hires a private investigator to find her and tries to win her once more now that it would be more challenging considering that he finds her a successful orthopedic surgeon residing in Miami. This was definitely an unforgettable film.One main reason is the fact that we here see a great looking,sexy and charming Cameron Diaz who is on her way to stardom before she changed into becoming the premiere actresses for bitches in movies such as The Counselor,Vanilla Sky and Charlie's Angels.Probably,it was also a time wherein she still signs autographs from fans.Anyway,she definitely portrayed the charm and appeal of Mary extremely well.As for the story,it was also able to handle romantic comedy and gross out humor together magnificently.While it maybe offensive and raunchy in many scenes,it also was able to become insightful when it comes to romance.Viewers will definitely feel the love that a romantic comedy rarely provides.Ben Stiller was definitely in top form during the production of the film.And most of all,give credit to the Farrelly brothers for arguably making their best film ever.In it,the movie makes fun of manners,political correctness,moral values and being polite but nevertheless they only made the viewer aware that we are capable of great sense of humor only known to us - human beings.The three reasons stated above makes it deserving of all the accolades and commercial success that it received during it theatrical release.
