An OK gross-out comedy

Rating: 5/10 (30 July 1999)

The latest in a line of gross-out comedies that rely on outrageous events as opposed to comedic sophistication. But while the brilliant comedy of SOUTH PARK has social relevance and wit, this is just outrageous.
At least the gross-out comedy THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY has a steady drumbeat of humorous events. AMERICAN PIE has an occasionally funny moment followed by long stretches of tedium, revolving around four high-school guys trying to get laid.
