traditional romantic comedy...almost

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2000)

Despite everything There's Something About Mary pretty much delivers a bog standard romantic comedy, Ok admittedly it's an occasionally gross romantic comedy, and sometimes tries so hard to shock that some of the sweeter moments are lost. It's not great, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be, I'm a sucker for romantic comedy but tend to steer clear of the low common denominator humour that I had expected to find. I'm glad I didn't it provided a surprisingly pleasant evenings entertainment. Gets a 6, might have got more if my stomach had been a wee bit stronger.
