A half standard, half extreme comedy/love story mix

Rating: 6/10 (11 November 1998)

Theres nothing really new about "Something about Mary", except one thing: the creators do seem like they have tried to top some of the rudities in today's average comedy. Parts of the film let you go mad in your cinema seat and go like "heck, they can`t really do that!", other parts just let me think "what is this supposed to mean? Was that funny?". Somehow the film tries to fulfill too many demands: comedy, romance and brutal nonsense. Forget about the story or most of the actors, but a dog getting burned and elektro-shocked or Cameron Diaz having sperm instead of wet-gel in her hair-do may shock, but are good for a few burst-out-laughs.
