ben stiller hits home again!

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2003)

this movie gets funnier and funnier by the minute. with a comedic cast ready to rock and roll and with the quirky guys that sing every time that ben's character has a change of emotions, we get that mary is the best girl in the movie and everyone wants to be with her. she seems to be too nice to everyone and also has a quality that everyone sees themselves having a similarity to her. but the most funniest connection was that ben's character, who helps mary defend her mentally challenged brother and gets the opportunity to take her to prom. but in case i didnt mention, ben is kind of a nerd according to the 99.9% of the high school students. well, i will just say that he (**SPOILER**) doesnt take her to the prom and ends up wallowing in grief trying to live in the past and be able to take her to prom. ben gets the craziest idea and decides to track her down and see if she's single. but the private eye is crooked and wants to get with mary. the movie could have maybe had more than one pretty girl to focus on, like terri and cherri, but that would have been too complicated. so enjoy the guest appearances of brett favre, the quarterback of those green bay packers, and get ready for dirty humor that does survive in this flick. (A A-)
