A few good scenes don't make a good movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 1999)

"Go see this movie, it's laugh a minute." Or so they say. $150 million in Box Office revenue must mean there's something good about this, right? Wrong. This movie was painful to watch as one gag after another falls flat and 2 hours seems like 4. A movie probably made more enjoyable in the theatre, rather than on video due to typical gag-points throughout the film. It's like those god-awful laugh reels in 'Friends' etc. Does the audience really need to be *told* what's supposed to be funny. But then again, the one good thing about Mary was that the Old geezer at the end has the last laugh.
If you liked Kingpin/Dumb and Dumber - the title says a lot about the intended audience of the movie (another Farrely Brothers joke) - then you'll love this.
The Farrely Brother's must be laughing their asses off right now. I suspect they know what the audience expects now, and wouldn't you know it - a 'sequel' is in the pipeline. Laughing all the way to the bank.
I give this movie 3/10 and that's for Lee evans, who at least gave it his best shot as the pizza boy.
