A masterpiece. A goofy, glorious comedy about despicable men projecting their fantasies onto a woman who sees only the best in their performative actions. Nonstop classic gross-out gags, but honest above all - a layer of sweetness beneath stunts and jokes regarding gender, class, and notions of romance.
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.

This holds up better than I expected. Beyond the fact that it’s still uproariously funny — the “franks and beans” sequence has such a nightmarish quality and every scene with the dog kills — it’s a pretty effective portrait of male psychosis. Nobody comes off looking particularly great in this movie, except Mary, of course.
(Also I forgot a lot of the excellent people in this in tiny supporting roles: Keith David, Sarah Silverman, Willie Garson, Harland Williams, and Richard Jenkins as Stiller’s uncaring therapist. Deep cast!)
I've actually never seen this before, but some scences are so iconic, I've known them for years. I never knew they're all from the same movie tho.
..and to think that I had never seen this before until today! There's Something about Mary really is one of the finest comedies of the nineties. Every other scene had me laughing with tears.
Just an all around wonderful movie!
Thanks Michelle for suggesting we watch this. :D
very good romantic comedy about men seeing women as fantasies. to them, lying is a testament of their romance. the performances are exquisite. matt dillon is so swarmy, he takes the cake here. insane line readings.
