One of the comedies of the year...

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 1998)

Before viewing Something about Mary, I was expecting to be grossed out, having heard all about the infamous hair gel scene. However, SAM, although never likely to rival Gone With The Wind in the drama stakes, IS more than a chain of non-pc set pieces. The plot is the framework of your basic romcom, although with a lot more references to the things which go on in privacy, if you catch my drift :-) Basically, every male in the film wants Cameron Diaz's Mary (and who can blame them?). Who does she end up with? Well its pretty obvious, but I won't spoil it for you. Something about Mary is a great lighthearted film- something to see if you've just watched 'Saving Private Ryan'. Oh, and the musical interludes make the whole movie.
