September 1, 2011It was not hilarious. Especially the scene in the Bathroom (two scenes actually actually where Ben Stiller was...). Sure Cameron is hot, but the way every guy drooled at her was excess. This movie was okay.

August 26, 2011This was made back when The Farrelly Brothers were actually funny. Aside from Dumb and Dumber, There's Something Mary is quite possibly their most famous comedy. The film manages to make you laugh, but the thing that doesn't sit with me is that this film is not as funny as the fi... read more

June 23, 2011Cameron Diaz is extremely funny and the hair gel scene was absolutely hilarious. Great film despite me not liking Ben Stiller all that much.

April 28, 2011A classic comedy, who hates this needs to get a funny bone. Some of the stuff in this movie is comedy gold, and this is the best comedy made by the Farrellys Brothers. The story is really good for a comedy. This movie is a cult classic, I love it.

January 16, 2011I can't believe I had previously given this film 2 stars. It's so great, and hilarious! I absolutely love Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Dillon in this movie!

September 10, 2010Whilst Ben Stiller's humour seems to have run it's course and ideas for his films are running dry, this happens to be one of the funny early ones.
Ironically it's the non-comedy Actor; Matt Dillon who appears the funniest in this throughout.
Some very funny moments and so l... read more -
August 9, 2010Goofy Farrelly brothers are the best, and their offbeat drummer plays a symphony all his own, of absurdity.

This one is dumbest. And funniest, as if that matters even a little bit! Full Review

Todd McCarthy, Variety
Crudely made, somewhat overlong and larded with plenty of things that don't work, pic stands as proof positive that a comedy can be far from perfect and still hit the bull's-eye if it delivers when it... Full Review

Despite my earlier reservations about Bobby and Peter Farrelly, they're progressively winning me over, partly because they keep getting better. Full Review

Remarkable for all the sick and politically incorrect sight gags it gets away with in its rule-breaking romp through the supposedly sacred laws of what makes people laugh, and what doesn't. Full Review

You may also want to keep [a] washcloth handy, just to stifle those embarrassing aftershocks of laughter. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Sensational, sicko fun -- you won't believe your eyes -- and just the thing to shake up the creeping conservatism that is draining the vulgar life out of pop culture.

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
A giddy symphony of rude and raucous low humor. Full Review

There's Something About Mary may be many things, but dull and routine aren't among them. Full Review
