Cringe humour

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 1999)

This movie was good fun, if a little over-rated by my friends. If you like slapstick and another tall gorgeous inauthentic blonde, you'll love it. Where does Hollywood get this notion that the female lead has to be an orthopaedic surgeon to have credibility? It doesn't work. Mary is so vacuous and boring it is hard to imagine all these blokes being obsessed with her, but then again, electrocuted dogs and hairsprog is all part of the kind of humour that leaves you chortling and squirming in this escapist effort. I should have taken more notice of the reviews on this page: I probably wouldn't have bothered with another dumb and dumber experience. But I laughed.
