Absolutely hilarious (at moments). Nineties comedy classic. One of a kind.

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2020)

The story: Ben Stiller had a HUGE highschool crush on the gorgeous Cameron Diaz. 15 years later he still secretly loves her and decides to go look for her. Will love blossom again?
There aren't many comedies which make me laugh so hard (at certain moments), that it starts to hurt. This movie "There...Mary" even makes me laugh simply thinking about it. It has so many iconic scenes that are to die for, but what is striking is that this movie is NOT a non stop silly comedy. It's a slowburning comedy, which lasts over 2 hours. Such a long length is unheard of for a comedy, but it never becomes boring, despite this length. On the contrary the many scenes that are not full blown jokes do contribute to learning to know the characters. I wouldnt call it character devellopment, but this movie is a fun story about LOOSERS, who are being portrayed in ALL their weaknesses and shameful anxieties. Sometimes gross, sometimes absolutely silly, sometimes endearing, but ALWAYS HILARIOUS.
Really, really good acting and a terrific story. Many comedies NEVER get credited for good acting or for great dialogue, but this movie has both. I love it. I love it. I love it.
