There's Something About Mary Film Review The plot of this movie begins with Ted( Ben Stiller) and Mary (Cameron Diaz) are back in High School in Rhode Island. Ted helps Warren( W. Earl Brown) when a bully tries to beat him up and that causes Mary to invite Ted to the prom and after a unfortunate event he doesn't get to go to the prom. So for the rest of his life he pines over Mary. I think that the movie is a standard Ben Stiller comedy that although funny, does not look any different from other Farlley brother movies. The theme of the movie has been played many times before and reminds me of other movies with the same kind of theme. The movie Just Friends with Ryan Reynolds has the same theme of loving someone in High school and waiting until years later to display your love for them to end up with more suitors to compete with later in life. In Just Friends they showed a real relationship to make it more believable. Personally think that the High School scenes should have showed a montage of Ted and Mary to put a real relationship that would cause him to feel like he had lost his chance with Mary. As you watch the movie you can kind of tell Mary is not the kind of person that would have ignored Ted after the prom incident and leaves you wondering why it takes so long for Ted and Mary to talk. I did like how they tied in Dom ( Chris Elliot ) in as Woogie later in the film.
Some parts of the film were too long and unnecessary, one being the opening scene with the guys singing and playing instrument was a part they could take out of the movie. Those two guys were kind of annoying and when they get shot at the end it was kind of a relief. The scene when Ted was preparing for his date was a little too lengthy and could have been shortened with the same outcome.
Overall I recommend this movie to friends and family because it is a feel good funny film. I think the film was funny and ends up being one of Ben Stiller's funniest and most memorable movies to date. With a good supporting cast and an excellent storyline. This movie is one that comedy- loving film that would be in my DVD collection if I were to collect DVD's..
