Pretty funny comedy.

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2003)

In the summer of 1998 this was the surprise hit that came out of nowhere. The Farrelly brothers had another hit, the other being "Dumb and Dumber", and while this one is funny "Dumb and Dumber" is better. Sure this made more money and stuff, but it isn't funny all the way through as Dumb is. This one focuses on a guy who wants to find the girl he almost had a date with in high school, but do to a very funny accident it wasn't meant to be. He has to compete though with numerous other guys who also really want Mary including the private investigator he hired to find her. This movie has a lot of funny scenes, but the ending wasn't all that funny to me. There were other times in this one that weren't that great as well, but it still plays very well. All the actors are good, especially Stiller and Dillon. Cameron Diaz, the title character though is rather bland with her funniest moment being what she wipes through her hair. She is only marginally better in this than is Rene Zellwegger is in "Me, Myself, and Irene" as the title gal in that one. All in all though it is a very funny movie, it just may be a bit to long and the ending isn't all that funny especially compared to the rest of the film.
