Funnier than hell!

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2005)

I have to say that Dumb and Dumber is my favorite Farrley's brother movie, however this is VERY close second.
It's funny when I think about the fact that Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller were actually in a romantic comedy together, but the truth is, they were both perfect for the roles that they played. There is something about Cameron, and she was made for this part.
After a humiliating and basically unforgettable Prom night, when he was sixteen, Greg (Stiller) never fully recovers from the humiliation he suffered thirteen years earlier. He decides, that even though it's been several years, he'd like to look up the girl he essentially blew all of his chances with, so long ago.
He hires a private detective to look into finding her, since Greg lives in Rhode Island, and Mary (Diaz) lives in Miami, FL. After finding her, and following her around, he falls in love with her too, and tells Greg that she is not worth his time and tries to get him to forget about her.
Even though, Greg is discouraged he decides to look into finding her anyway. Along the way to Florida, he runs into some trouble with the law (which I won't give away, but the police scene is probably the funniest in the entire movie. For those who have seen the movie, I'm referring to the part with the two officers, who think he's done something other than what he thinks he's being charged for.), ans finally makes it to Florida.
While he's there, Pat (Dillan), the P.I., learns of Greg's coming, and the two try to get one another out of Mary's life.
With other mishaps, and funny situations that go on in the film, it's one of the most well-written scripts, and funniest films to watch ever.
I recommend it to anyone who likes a good comedy, however there is some pretty graphic dialogue from time to time, so I wouldn't suggest the film to anyone under seventeen. But, it is funny and I've seen it countless times.
And now, an excerpt from the film:
"Greg, this wasn't your first time, was it?" "No." "How many we talking' here?" "My whole life? I dunno. Twenty-five, maybe fifty. I dunno, who keeps track? Look I know that this is like the Bible belt down here, but where I'm from this is not that big a deal."
