Cameron Diaz steals the show

Rating: 7/10 (14 May 2016)

In this Farraly brothers flick, Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, and Ben stiller all team up to tell us what is so special about Mary. Cameron is definitely the best part of this movie, she really does show her acting chops here. Matt Dillon does alright in his sleezy dirt bag role. Lin Shaye is great in the role of Magda, I enjoyed her funny whacky performance. As for Ben stiller, he did alright I suppose, but personally, I would've preferred a different male lead actor. The comedy works just fine, although it was a bit too crass for my taste at times, like the "hair gel" scene for instance, didn't really need to see that LOL. The movie is well paced too, the pace isn't too fast or too slow, it didn't drag, but didn't really feel rushed. There is something about Mary, she stars in a comedy movie that isn't half bad, I actually didn't expect to like it as much as I did. 7/10 for There's something about Mary.
