One of the funniest romantic films I've ever seen.

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 1999)

There truly is something about Mary, or at least about this film. Cameron Diaz is terminally adorable as Mary, Ben Stiller is a lovable schmuck, and Matt Dillon is a perfect greasy sleezeball. Granted, a lot of the humor in this film is sophomoric, but who cares when you're holding your sides and tears are running down your cheeks? Like the classic films of Mel Brooks, this one often aims below the lowest common denominator. If you believe film is a sacred medium which should always strive for its ultimate artistic expression then you've definitely got the wrong film here. If you just want to spend a couple of hours being entertained I suggest you grab some popcorn and settle down to watch "There's Something About Mary". There's only one thing: eat the popcorn during the coming attractions, because eating anything while laughing this hard could be hazardous to your health.
