Adolescent hilarity

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2017)

Here's how you know you're watching a keeper: when Brett Favre shows up with his complete lack of screen presence, yet the laughter continues unabated.
"There's Something About Mary" is every winning virtue of the Farrelly Brothers served up in an oddball love story. It moves seamlessly from an awkward teen movie straight into middle-aged depravity. Just an array of sleazy characters, and they are hysterical; chiefly Keith David, Matt Dillon and Chris Klein. As if the one-liners aren't enough, you've got the story of Ted's prom night from Hell, or the story of Mongo the special kid on a leash.
This had me in stitches back in the '90s and it still does today. I can't think of that many comedies from such a hit-or-miss decade that still hold such lasting value. I can't speak highly enough of this.
9/10
