I Have Never Heard an Audience Laugh So Much

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 1999)

There's Something About Mary (TSAM) was one of the top three films I saw last year. Words cannot describe how funny it is but what I can describe is the reaction of the audience. I have been to a ton of movies on my life, and many comedies. I have never heard an audience have such a reaction to a film. The movie was so hysterically funny, people were screaming, rolling in their seats, especially for the first 20 mins of the film (which features the infamous "frank and beans" shot). The true test of this film was could it sustain the initial laughs throughout the movie and the answer is a definite yes. Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon give stand out performances, while Ben Stiller shines as a ... well for lack of a better word "loser." All in all I strongly recommend TSAM, just make sure you watch with a group so you can share in the insanity.
