Editor's Note
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY is a no-holds-barred comedy tour-de-force in which 30-something Ben Stiller locates and courts his high school dreamgirl (Cameron Diaz), unwittingly enlisting the help of some of her more hilariously psychotic suitors. In-your-face sight gags and unapologetic raunchiness disguise a riotously funny love story that is actually very sweet. Be amazed at the impeccable casting and stellar performances of the supporting players.

 | There's Something About Mary - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | | Sure it’s ridiculous. Sure it’s in generally poor taste. So what? That’s what makes There's Something About Mary so good. If you’ve seen the trailer, you know the story: Ted (Ben Stiller) finally gets to go out with Mary (Cameron Diaz) to the prom and is stymied by a freak zipper accident, sending him into years of therapy to wonder what-coulda-been. Thirteen years later, we find that he’s not the only one fixated on Mary... as no fewer than five suitors appear to win her heart. Done one way, this could’ve been a Disney movie. Done the Farrelly brothers (Dumb And Dumber) way, it’s anything but. Frankly, I prefer the Farrelly brothers way, because it’s just so damn hilarious....read the full review |

There's Something About Mary, the latest loopy comedy from gross-out siblings Peter and Bobby Farrelly, is driven by a nearly nonstop string of over-the-top moments likely to make older audiences cringe in disgust. Teen-agers and those of us delaying adulthood, though, may laugh until we cry as the writing-directing duo behind Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin roll out this ceaselessly bawdy tale of a loveable loser's quest for the girl of his dreams... The Farrellys' sweet-natured treat, a welcome respite from the murder, mayhem and malaise of much of the summer competition, takes cues from film noir and date-movie romances, and then flushes those elements down the toilet with a liberal sprinkling of bathroom humor. Ben Stiller, the second-generation comic actor so winning in 1995's Flirting with Disaster, is suitably dorky and shy as Ted Peloquin, a nerdnik with braces and ratty hair who's invited to go to the senior prom with Mary (Cameron Diaz of My Best Friend's Wedding), the cutest girl on campus. Yeah, right... There's Something About Mary may be too rude, lewd and crude to be enjoyed in polite company. So take a friend willing to brave embarrassment for the sake of a seriously silly treasure. Don't say you weren't warned. - Philip Booth
The New York Times 8 of 10
Sometimes Western civilization declines in deliriously funny style. Why bother to list the myriad offenses given by There's Something About Mary, the proudly obnoxious new film by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, when it's easier--definitely much too easy--to enjoy them? In the raunchy wake of Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin, the Farrelly brothers have made a romantic comedy that's a hoot in every sense, worth a smidgen of disapproval and a whole lot of helpless laughter. But the Farrellys are as gleeful as they are crude, and they certainly aren't witless. The film works ridiculously well because it never stoops to being mean-spirited or (despite all appearances) authentically inane. The Farrellys display a crazy audacity that's worth admiring, and they take sure aim for the funny bone. There's Something About Mary may be many things, but dull and routine aren't among them. - Janet Maslin
