Really hilarious movie. There is really something about Mary. Everyone that talks to her likes her. Is that hair gel?

One of the ALL Time Greats!
Kept us laughing the entire time after all these years! When comedy can be expressed without concern and its sole purpose were to entertain and make us laugh. If you need a pick me up with intelligent dialogue and top actors I'd highly recommend it!

Surreal Raunch Meets Heartfelt Romance
Long before bodily fluids jokes hit the windshield of tastemaker disdain, "There's Something About Mary" paired whip-smart dialogue with the kind of "worst nightmare" gags that once kept teen males from a good night's sleep. Yet revisiting this watershed comedy movie reminds us how it transcended mere raunch to wholly smash the box office: This is a film of disarming heart, making "There's Something About Mary" fun for the whole (adult) family.Having secured as his prom date the captivating Mary (Cameron Diaz), the yearnings of Ted (Ben Stiller) are dashed by a busted zipper. Years on, he deploys grease-slicked private investigator Patrick (Matt Dillon) to pin down Mary's whereabouts. We're led to Miami, where Mary is a beautiful and single orthopedic surgeon. Patrick himself is smitten; his attempts to court Mary are pitted against Ted's desires to rekindle.Along the way, we're treated to cartoonish buffoonery and surrealist fantasy, all while sexual vulgarities and gleeful immaturities rain down en masse. The film's audacious rep is well-earned, as is its historical clout: “There’s Something About Mary” sits at #27 among AFI's 100 Funniest Movies. - (Was this of use? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." Cheers!) WATCHED IT? THEN WATCHLIST: "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Stadium Anthems."

What's Your Vulgarity Threshold?
After some years I've now rewatched "There's Something About Mary." I'm struggling to sort out my jumbled reaction: far more work than a comedy should demand.The reviewers on this site who bemoan its coarse, junior-high level humor have a point. That's the Farrelly Brothers style. You take it or leave it. I love black comedies (see "A Fish Called Wanda") and the best of Mel Brooks farce, all of which should pitch me out of The Prudes' Club. That said, some scenes in "Mary" seem gratuitously nasty. They needn't have made the final cut; the movie was funny enough without them. The brothers were pushing us to laugh at some things that aren't funny. The effect is mean-spirited.The case for the defense: the premise, most of the performances, and many of this movie's scenes are so funny that I did laugh out loud. Mary (Cameron Diaz)—kind, pretty, capable—is the still center around which chaos erupts and for which she is its unintended cause. Matt Dillon renders a perfect slimeball. Ben Stiller earns his laughs by playing the schlimazel: a mensch to whom horrible things happen. On Chris Elliott ("Groundhog Day") you can always depend. The rest of the cast provide underplayed or gross support, as the script requires. A nice touch is the constant reappearance of a pair of minstrels to comment on the story. Neither makes any pretense to play his guitar or drums.The movie's two most memorable scenes, both involving the same anatomical member of the character played by Mr. Stiller, remain hilarious. The first is marred by an insert that no audience needed to see: it's funnier if left to the imagination. The second earns its laughs by Ms. Diaz's deadpan and some clever hairstyling. For a movie so edgy, this one ends, surprisingly, like a sit-com episode: a comic twist on an Agatha Christie reveal.Boy, what an uneven movie. "Mary" intends to leap so far over the top, for both good and bad, that few will be neutral about it. My 2.5 stars attempt a measured evaluation of bawdy that spits in the eye of measured evaluations.

Navet!
J’ai acheté cette comédie navrante au vu des critiques très enthousiastes… Moi qui aime rire, je n’ai pas souri plus de dix minutes sur la durée de ce soap sentimentalo-grotesque et aux gags assez trash et vulgaires. Vivent les Monty Pythons, les Panthère rose et autres Y a-t-il. Là le burlesque vous donne de vrais fous-rires!Dans Mary à tout prix, on va de vanne de potache à comique de situation débile.J’ai perdu 12€.
