Rating: 1/10 (20 May 1999)

By the time I saw this, I had heard about all the allegedly funny scenes, and they're not even funny to start with. The Farelly Brothers movies are getting progressively worse. I wouldn't have considered this material funny as a teenager. And I'm no conservative either (I've seen Andrew Dice Clay in concert). It's unfair to call it "this generation's ANIMAL HOUSE." At least that film broke some new ground; MARY has much of the humor that critics who praised this film hated in films such as PORKY'S. When bad taste goes mainstream like this, it has no shock value anymore, it becomes just plain lousy like most of the sitcoms that pollute our airwaves.
