In the movie, "There's Something About Mary", the story is of a
loser who hires a private investigator to find his high school sweetheart
- the love of his life. Unfortunately for him, the investigator that he
hires falls in love with the woman. The two men then compete for her affection.
This Farrelly brothers comedy is directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly
("Dumb and Dumber").
imho - Choppy, coarse, crude, sporadic
sophomoric humor. There is the zipper scene and the gel scene and the dog
scenes. Beautiful innocent Cameron Diaz is the focus of the attention.
Ben Stiller does a good lost teen Ted who never makes it to his Senior
Prom. Matt Dillon plays such a low life classic sleaze of a private investigator
that you wonder what could Cameron possible see in him. Maybe it’s the
pencil moustache. Nicely segmented in bytes with interludes by singer Jonathan
Richman. Strong supporting cast. Full of energy. Refreshing change from
most of the other films this summer. Some scenes may offend some. Bobby
and Peter Farrelly have done a good job. The audience seemed to thoroughly
enjoy it. Recommended if you want some humor in your life.
The film was shot in Miami and Rhode Island.
Romantic comedy.
