One of the Better Films shot in Rhode Island

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2004)

Rhode Island's favorite film makers, the Farrelly Brothers created one of the funniest films of the 1990's. There's Something About Mary was a story unlike many comedies. The film was a giant chance that ended up being a giant success. Since then, the Farrelly's have gone onto doing films the way they want with other not so popular films like Shallow Hal and Say It Ain't So. Still, the 1998 comedy blockbuster put Rhode Island on the map once again. Scenes shot on the East Side of Providence and downtown are still talked about today by the locals. Stories still float around about the antics Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon created on and off the set. More than 6 years have pasted and still the movie holds up on its own as one of the best comedies if not one of the best movies premiering in 1998.
