Not a movie to bring home to mom and dad...but it's great!

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2003)

This is definitely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Everything about this film is great! The story is surprisingly both sweet and hilarious at the same time. The story is absolutely fantastic and incredibly well written, the story flows very smoothly from scene to scene and makes every character important to the overall story. What makes this such a great story are all the great characters in the film, all played by fantastic actors. It isn't often that you have a truly great comedy film with such a great cast.
The star is obviously Cameron Diaz, playing one of my personal favorite roles to date. She's such a beautiful actress and such a good actress. Ben Stiller, what can I say? Nothing less than a STUD!!! I absolutely love his character, he plays such a genuinely likable guy. Ben's little movements and reactions completely make the movie for me. Lee Evans really shows off his acting talent in this film as well, just amazing, that's all I have to say. Matt Dillon, Jeffery Tambor, Lin Shaye, Chris Elliot, Keith David and everyone else also play their roles flawlessly. I also feel that I have to mention W. Earl Brown, who plays the part of "Warren". This guy is a truly fantastic actor! It's too bad that comedies are exempt from receiving Oscars (well, not always), this guy plays a phenomenal supporting character. There are also some great cameos and minor roles, played by Richard Tyson, Rob Moran, Harland Williams, Sarah Silverman, Richard Jenkins and Brett Favre.
Those Farrelly Brothers are nothing less than comedic geniuses!!! This is just another great comedy to add to their impressive list of comedy films. Keep up the good work guys!
The comedy in this film is pretty much what you'd expect from a Farrelly Brothers film, but this one REALLY pushes the envelope. There is a lot of very "dirty" or "questionable" humor in this film...but it's just plain hilarious. I would strongly urge you to see some of their earlier work first, and if you like any of those films, then give this one a shot. This is most definitely not a comedy for everyone, but I sure found it funny as all hell.
I truly hope that you can respect this film for what it is and I hope, even more so, that you laugh just half as much as I did watching this film. Thanks for reading,
