Get ready to give good laughters - one of the most entertaining films of 1998!!

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 1999)

Politically incorrect,with rude and dirty jokes,a tasty plot and actors in the peak of their talents:"There's something about Mary" contains all these elements, and it's one of the most entertaining and really pleasant films to watch that Hollywood already accomplished in the last years,since "Naked Gun". Cameron Diaz became a requested,well-known star after her role in "My best friends' weeding" and here she is consecrated as a promising and charismatic young woman by playing Mary, the object of desire of practically all the boys on the university!Matt Dillon comes out well and he gives us a good time as a smart and cynic detective,and in doing that, he reveals that he has an excellent timing for comedies!Ben Stiller had in this film a great chance, and he composes the character with efficiency - he really seems that he isn't just working or in a hard time, he seems to be having a lot of fun, in fact, all the stars seem to be comfortable, and just not acting, they pass to the public the idea that are really having a good time with all that and just not working!the plot is simple and funny: An ingenuous guy (Ben Stiller) falls in love with Mary , spoils everything with the girl in the university's graduation night. Years later, not accepting what happened and still impassioned by the youth, he hires a suspicious detective (Matt Dillon) so that he can trace the girl. But the detective ends up falling in love with her,giving start to a series of confusions,that also involves a colleague of Mary's work and other fans!the scenes are unforgettable: the dog attacking Ben Stiller, the scene of the gel, in which at Mary confuses a certain corporal flowed with gel and...well, I won't say!the pleasure of discovering that surprise is yours, so watch the film today!!!
