Good movie, some funny scenes, but a 7 is way to high.

There's Something About Mary is 1998 romantic comedy directed by the Farrrelly Brothers and stars Ben Stiller,Cameron Diaz,Matt Dillon and Lee Evans and tells the tale of a young lovelorn man named Ted(played by Ben Stiller)who is still not over his first love Mary(played by Cameron Diaz).As a teen his prom night went horribly wrong and he lost touch of Mary when he got older. Now grown up he tries to track her down by hiring a Private Detective played by Matt Dillon who also falls madly in love with Mary along with a couple of more guys and Ted has to wonder will he ever be with Mary or not?
Overall from start to finish this film was hilarious. The opening with Ben Stiller wearing braces and getting his privates caught in his zipper of the trousers cracked me up and Keith David(who plays Cameron Diaz's stepdad in this film) with his reaction to it was hilarious. Another was about the dog who took a sleeping pill and the Private Detective had to try and bring him back to life again. The chemistry between Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz was very well played as I love both actors having grown up watching these two evolve(I think this film introduced me to Ben Stiller,while The Mask was the film that introduced me to her as that was her film debut with Jim Carrey in 1994).Now I know what your saying is it as funny as Dumb & Dumber.....not quite but it does come in a close second to that film.

This is not a funny movie. This is just gross. It is badly written. Why did this get a 7.1. I can not believe people think this is funny. It is why comedy it easy. No one ever said that's not funny. So writers can put what ever they want in a comedy movie or show. There are some good actors in this movie. The writers have no talent. They are just people who make there money in cheap laughs. The actors wasted there time being in this awful movie. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this pile of pooh pooh. 7.1 is just overrating it. Do not see this movie it is just vulgar and stupid. Pooh pooh, pooh pooh, pooh pooh pooh, pooh pooh. Just a lot of pooh pooh.

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.
