Okay, it was funny, but not THAT funny

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 1999)

I saw 'Mary' on its opening weekend, and I got some laughs out of it, but not nearly enough to make up for all the jokes that completely miss and result in tedious scenes. As a result, I was amazed when I started hearing people raving about how funny this movie supposedly was. This was one of the few movies that made me glad when it was finally over. You could take all the good, funny scenes in this flick and condense them into about 15 minutes worth of film, and still not miss anything about the rest of the movie.
Most people that don't like this movie are accused of being overly sensitive or uptight, which I don't understand. Some of the most offensive scenes really WERE funny, but so much of this movie is built around lame jokes that I was bored out of my skull most of the time. Easily the most overrated movie of 1998. And now there's a sequel coming out??? I'll save my money this time.
