Review by Neil Bahadur ★★★★★

The last time I saw this film I wrote, "Mary never appears to be much more than a cypher..but maybe that's the point, seeing her through the eyes of these men who believe they're in love with her, using her kindness as reason to idealize her, and thus objectify her." Firstly, it's not "maybe" the point, it totally is, and if I hadn't noticed that more clearly before it's possibly a repercussion of this movie being almost too.....funny. OR: possibly I was foolish enough to fall into the same trap! But behind the heightened silliness of this movie is a very acute one about the invisible line between idealization and objectification.

I’m always thinking about The House That Jack Built so I wanted to watch something else with Matt Dillon because he was good in that and he’s really hot so while looking I noticed he doesn’t have a great filmography and I think people should start to utilize him more often

i mean its better than green book
Review by Paul C. Elliott ★★★

Bobby and Peter Farrelly’s There's Something About Mary operates primarily on the energies of its captivating cast. It furthermore solidified Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller’s stardom, together with Matt Dillon demonstrating his unexpected aptitude for comedy. What arises is an abruptly constructed parody with a fixed stance about the shadiest aspect of male libido with continuous ornamental elements that aspire to provoke and repulse. It continues with a lewd and one-note comedic tone throughout, but there are aspects to admire in this coarse comedy to remain amused during its runtime.

"I couldn't believe that she knew my name. Some of my best friends didn't know my name"
EXTENDED EDITION
Early Farrelly brothers work is by far some of the funniest and greatest comedies to grace the screen. Something About Mary is a comedy classic that pushes gross out, vulgar comedy and it all lands with a bang. Diaz has never been better and plays her role with pure perfection.

Review by GodzLily ★★★★

A funny comedy about a love triangle? Love square? Love hexagon? Geez, Ted can’t catch a break.

Also, I never knew animal cruelty could be funny. (That’s a joke, animals are precious, don’t throw them out windows)
Review by Austin Farnsworth ★★★½

I’m convinced that Johnny Drama was based off of Pat Healy. Overall, super clever.

the film would have been better if she had called the police
Review by steno11 ★★★★

La commedia degli anni 90 più divertente di sempre insieme ai film della pallottola spuntata e di hot shots.
Scene memorabili e battute da citare in continuazione con gli amici,film che fa ridere dall'inizio alla fine,anche se devo dire per me Cameron Diaz di The Mask era ancora più sexy che in questo film.Anche in Bad teacher era una "bomba...ehm volevo dire una tomba con un piede nella fossa" cit.
Ma quanto cavolo è divertente oltre a Ben Stiller il protagonista ruolo da sfigato tormentato e complessato cucito addosso,ma Matt Dillon nella parte dell'investigatore privato pervertito,che si finge architetto che ha costruito lo stadio a Santiago del Cile e quel suo rivale in amore dice di esserci stato due volte…

If you made jizz not seem disgusting and animal cruelty funny, you deserve an Oscar nom.
