SOME THINGS GET BETTER WITH AGE...THIS IS ONE OF THEM!.......2007-03-05

I went to see this movie in the theater. It was after the first few weeks of release and I had read the reviews and decided to go see what was so funny about Mary. I must admit I wasn't expecting much, but within the first few minutes I found myself smiling and before long bursting out into uncontrolable laughter! This is a funny movie with excellent characters. I have watched it several times now and I think it is funnier with each viewing. I may not get the surprize laughs like the first time around, but Stiller,Dillon,Elliot and especially Lee Evans are hilarious! One of the great comedies of all time!

Cheesey Hijinx.......2006-05-31

"There's Something About Mary" is like many cheesey romantic comedies, except that is has more heart and more big laughs. One of the best aspects about Mary is that she is attracted to the integrity of men and not just their appearance. Ted (Ben Stiller) is an awkward teenager with braces who wins the heart of Mary (Carmen Diaz) when he shows the character and courage to defend her handicapped brother. He then garners a chance to take her to the prom, but a terrible accident cuts off their relationship, and leaves Ted yearning for her even after she moves to Miami. Through a friend, he hires a private investigator, Pat, (Matt Dillon) to find her. A slimeball from the start, he chases Mary himself and attempts to leave Ted in the dust.

"There's Something About Mary" is meant to be in bad taste, but for humor, sometimes it hits and sometimes it misses. Fortunately, it bats at about .750 and manages some grand slams. Mary is truly captivating enough to enable decency, but the treatment of the handicapped is a mixed bag. Special people are a touchtone to the characters, but there are a few cheap jokes involving the handicapped as well. Ben Stiller manages again to play Mr. Ordinary who is thrown into the worst of circumances, like in "Meet the Parents," and remain a nimble and nuerotic presence. It is a fun movie for all its hijinx and even (sometimes especially) the cheese...(including, notably a guest appearance by Chief Cheese, Brett Farve...)

Fantastic.......2006-01-07

This film is hilarious. Well done,

There's something funny about Mary.......2006-01-01

The Farrelly brothers, who gave us Dumb And Dumber, Kingpin, and Me Myself And Irene, direct There's Something About Mary, a movie that stars Ben Stiller (Meet The Parents), Cameron Diaz (The Mask, Gangs Of New York), Matt Dillon (The Outsiders, Crash), Chris Elliot (Groundhog Day, Scary Movie 2), and many others.

Mary is a story about a Rhode Island loser named Ted, played by Stiller, who can't keep his high school dreamgirl Mary, played by the charming Diaz, out of his mind 13 years after their prom date went terribly wrong way before it happened. He hires an obnoxious guy named Patrick, played by Dillon, to spy on her and tell him what she's been up to. Well, Patrick falls for Mary, and decides to move out to Florida where she resides to get to know her, and he does. Ted discovers that Patrick isn't giving him the truth about Mary and goes out to find her himself. It turns out that Mary has many admirers who try to win her heart (or shoes!) besides the lonely Ted. So the movie becomes a race on who can get her first and forever.

It's a silly tale but under the Farrellys direction, it's a surefire laugh-fest all the way through. Expect to see lots of sick humor like a guy giving a dog CPR, or bodily fluids used as toiletries. Also, the characters in Mary are funny by nature. The funniest character of them all is Warren, Mary's handicapped and heavy set brother, who punches people who touch his ears and loves to give piggy back rides.

Shocking in its time.......2005-08-26

Naturally the first of its kind it is very funny. Ted Stroehmann had a slight accident requiring Magda (Lin Shay) to do a little triage. This messes up his prom night with Mary Jensen. Mary moves to is last scene moving to Florida. Later in years he decides to rectify this. Ted heirs a detective, Pat Healy (Matt Dillon), to find Mary. The report is disappointing however he still peruses her and in the process has some interesting experiences. Some will make your hair stand on end. Soon he finds that there is not a clear track as he is one of many admirers.

Will Ted and Marry get together?
Will they want to?
And what about Pat who fell in love also?

Cameron, blue eyed natural blond from California, had already been in ten movies so she was well known at the time of this movie. The script and part fit her well. Off screen she has a sense of humor that could appreciate the sight gags.

Ben Stiller has been in several films before and since he always plays the same character. He has been pigeonholed a sort of modern day bathroom humor slapstick.

The Farrelly brothers' first two movies, Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin, had some moments of uproarious raunch, but were uneven. With Mary, they've created a consistently hilarious romantic comedy, made all the funnier by the fact that you know that they know that some of their gags go way over the line.

The Farrellys' admittedly simplistic camera work, which adapts easily to a TV screen, and the fact that you'll likely laugh yourself so silly over certain scenes you'll want to replay them to see what you were missing while you were busy convulsing, make this a perfect video movie. --David Kronke

Comedy at its Best.......2007-01-29

This may be an old film the the comedy and appeal never gets old! This film has even be used in a scientific study about the effects of laughter on health! I don't think you can go wrong with this film.

THERE'S SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT MARY.......2006-09-28

I found this to be a very, very funny movie. And everybody played their roles in a very funny way. But Kudo's have to go to Matt Dillon. I never knew he was so funny until I watched this film. Ted (Ben Stiller) still thinks of Mary (Cameron Diaz) even after 13 years. [you'd almost think it was stalking?] He hires a private investigator Pat (Matt Dillon) at the urging of his friend Dom (Chris Elliott). Dom has his problems too! We'll get to that in a moment. The problem is that the private investigator Pat (Matt Dillon) falls in love with Mary too! Therefore, he makes up a story to Ted that she is on welfare, overweight, and has many children from different fathers: Hoping to keep Ted away.

However, Ted discovers that Pat was lying. At the urging of his friend Dom (Chris Elliott) he goes to Florida, from Rhode Island, where Mary is now living. The problem is that Dom is a stalker, and has been in love with Mary for many years too! Also, enter Tucker (Lee Evans) the disabled and good friend of Mary who is also in love with her, and he's not disabled either. There are many, many funny scenes in this film. However, the scenes involving Matt Dillon and Mary are truly hilarious. And especially the extreme measure he goes to in order to be with her. All in all, a very funny film. Highly recommended.

Reflects the attitude in the 1990's perfectly...........2006-09-20

I saw this in a theatre, and I was the only one who wasn't laughing hysterically. There were a few chuckles here and there, but this film is actually quite boring. There are long, dull stretches here between the gross out jokes, and the drama (for lack of a better word) is really tedious. Of course, the attitude towards sex is extraordinarily childish (which is the point), and the film is extremely stupid. In many ways, this film exemplifies what kind of films were popular in the 1990's; gross out films with idiotic characters and really stupid behaviour and situations. I never found this film to be actually funny. The Naked Gun type films can be quite dumb at times, yet they're funny. This film has a few mild laughs, but mostly it's painfully unfunny. On a plus, this film doesn't have the smugness a lot of 90's films had, but that doesn't make it much better. So, if you're in the mood for stupid, stupid, and stupid, this film will do it for ya. If not, stay away.

Love it or hate it, you can't ignore it..........2006-05-05

The Farelly brothers who have in the past delivered such cinematic masterpieces as KINGPIN and DUMB AND DUMBER, are back at what they do best, and they are bigger, (maybe) better and (definitely) more gross than ever. Boldly throwing caution and any semblance of good taste to the wind, they deliver a chuckle-fest that might shock, disgust, and repel, but will without fail leave the viewer in splits.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY is in fact a sublime lesson on how to twist the simplest of storylines into a signature style of story-telling that is bound to leave an impact in the minds of viewers even weeks after they have seen it. "Politically incorrect" is an understatement when it comes to TSAB. The Farrellys don't spare anyone in their effort to attain new levels of snot-inducing toilet humour. Helpless animals, obese folks, handicapped guys, senior citizens are all targets of gags. Maybe the next edition of Oxford's will have a picture of Peter and Bobby Farrelly next to Gross and Tasteless. There is liberal usage of various bodily parts and function which make for most of the visual gags, right from a close up shot of what Ted has gotten stuck in his zipper, to a disgusting shot of fake sagging boobs in all their glory, and the infamous masturbation, or as it is more popularly know, the "hair-gel" episode.

The storyline is no great burden on the brain. Rhode Island loserboy Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller) has a major crush on Mary Jenson (Cameron Diaz), just like every other guy on campus. However, him being the proverbial dorky-geek-with-braces-but-with-heart-of-gold, she asks him to the prom anyway. However, on the big day, thing go horribly wrong with Ted (guys would understandably sympathize more), and he has to be whisked away to the hospital. Mary's family moves to Miami, and since then, he has had no contact with her. Now, thirteen years after graduation, he finds out he still longs for her. So he hires a sleazeball investigator Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) to track her down. Time to introduce the love triangle. Pat falls for her hook, line, and sinker. Getting back, he paints a real bleak picture of Mary, with her being overweight, unwed with children, and now working as a mail order bride. However Ted being who he is, not-so-dorky-anymore-but-still-a-loserboy-with-a-heart-of-gold, decides to meet her anyway. The rest of the movie is as predictable as the state of our roads during monsoon, but the potholes on the way are custom-made to hit you when least expected.

While not needing any great displays of acting prowess, everyone in the movie is just fine in their roles. Cameron Diaz is totally believable as the beautiful and cheery-as-sunshine sweet little small-town girl, who has everyone falling for her. Ben Stiller comic timing is unquestionable, with an equally good ability to get a fair amount of "awwws" when he does his droopy sad looks. Sleaze has never been defined better than with Matt Dillon's character, and he runs away with some of the best lines in the movie.

The supporting cast is as good as headliners. Lee Evans as Tucker, Mary's friend, shines in a role as a physically handicapped architect. W. Earl Brown, as Mary's retarded brother is fine in a role that doesn't require much of him except to be the scapegoat for a number of offensive gags. Chris Elliott as Dom, Ted's best friend passes muster.

However, the show-stealer would have to be the little dog belonging to Magda (Lin Shaye), Mary's raunchy old-as-the-hills neighbour. Involved in a vicious man-animal wrestling match with Ted, and the centre of an extended sight gag where Pat has to revive it from its unconsciousness, the dig gives a voracious display of canine capers.

I also loved the use of Jonathan Richman as the guitar-toting guy, with his bongo-busting sidekick, who keeps popping up with songs meant to let us in on the state on Ted's progress.

So what would be the downer? Well, for one, the sight gags sometimes fail to deliver, or get to be a bit too disgusting to be palatable. Plus at times, the movie is dry without any comic parts. The most obvious flaw in the movie would be that it has a hard time deciding what exactly it wants to convey. Well scripted, emotional parts are rudely interrupted with toilet humour, and conversely, at times, the toilet gags are used to convey a deeper message.

This movie has an appeal that is hard to ignore. Even the strictly serious art-films-only type of killjoys will be hard pressed to stiffle their laughter. Oscar material this is not, but recommended to anyone looking for a good time.

there IS something about mary.......2006-05-05

This movie is so awesome!!!! I saw this movie after I bought the VHS. After this collector's edition came out, I bought it. WOW the extended version is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better!

There's Something About Mary is one of the funniest movies in years, recalling the days of the Zucker-Abraham-Zucker movies, in which (often tasteless) gags were piled on at a fierce rate. The difference is that cowriters and codirectors Bobby and Peter Farrelly have also crafted a credible story line and even tossed in some genuine emotional content. The Farrelly brothers' first two movies, Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin, had some moments of uproarious raunch, but were uneven. With Mary, they've created a consistently hilarious romantic comedy, made all the funnier by the fact that you know that they know that some of their gags go way over the line.

Cameron Diaz stars as Mary, every guy's ideal. Ben Stiller plays a high-school suitor still hung up on Mary years later; the obstacles standing between him and her include a number of psychotic suitors, a miserable little pooch, and, oh yeah, a murder charge. The Farrellys' admittedly simplistic camera work, which adapts easily to a TV screen, and the fact that you'll likely laugh yourself so silly over certain scenes you'll want to replay them to see what you were missing while you were busy convulsing, make this a perfect video movie. --David Kronke

There's Something About Mary is one of the funniest movies in years, recalling the days of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker movies with (often tasteless) gags piled on at a fierce rate. The difference is that cowriters and codirectors Bobby and Peter Farrelly have also crafted a credible story line and even tossed in some genuine emotional content, made all the funnier by the fact that you know that they know that some of their gags go way over the line. Cameron Diaz stars as Mary, every guy's ideal. Ben Stiller plays a high-school suitor still hung up on Mary years later. The obstacles standing between him and Mary include a number of psychotic suitors, a miserable little pooch, and, oh yeah, a murder charge.

In a minor miracle, the clever romantic fantasy Shallow Hal offers unexpected substance with the same comedic effrontery that made the Farrellys famous. Their antihero is Hal (Jack Black), whose fixation on beautiful women is reversed so he can see only the inner beauty of "undesirables"--like his new girlfriend Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow), gorgeous in Hal's eyes despite being grossly obese. The movie's handling of this conundrum is sweetly sincere, poking fun at social prejudices while validating those (overweight, homely, disabled) who are often heartbroken by Hal's brand of shallowness. The concept won't hold up to scrutiny, but Shallow Hal works as an often hilarious reminder that physical beauty is only skin deep.

In Me, Myself & Irene, Jim Carrey plays cop Charlie Baileygates, a nice guy who goes around trying to do the right thing but gets taken advantage of every step of the way. His psyche can only take so much, and soon his alter-ego Hank pops out to do every libidinous thing Charlie would never do. It's a great premise for a Jim Carrey film. Unfortunately, it's not a great Jim Carrey film. Here the Farrelly brothers get lost in a series of lazy gags and an even lazier plot about some evil golf development and the woman, Irene (Renée Zellweger), who needs to be protected because she knows something about it. Some of the jokes hit but many more miss, and some great concepts don't go anywhere. It's like the movie itself has a split personality--funny ideas trapped in a less- than-funny film.

Hi,

I like extras in DVD's. I enjoy watching the "making of" documentaries included with normal DVD's.

This boxed set has nothing.

For example, if you want to watch behind the scenes video of "There's Something About Mary" then do not buy this product. Instead purchase the separate product named "There's Something More About Mary (Widescreen 2-Disc Collector's Edition) (1998)".
That way you'll get the behind the scenes stuff.

# Bonus scene-specific commentary by the Farrelly Brothers
# "Getting Behind Mary": 43-minute behind-the-scenes diary

These are the funniest films I have ever seen........2005-12-30

The farrelly brothers are known for there crude humor and gross out comedies usually done in bad taste although its not that gross compared to other Hollywood comedy films, they also manage to make some very witty and humouros stuff and laugh out loud moments with there characters. But first you might want to know that if you liked Dumb and dumber and that particular brand of humor than your going to love these films. There's something about Mary is probably their biggest hit and one of there best, it stars Ben Stiller who happens to still be in love with his highschool crush from 13 years ago but an embarrising incident involving a zipper has ruined his chances of going to the dance with her. A hillarious film with psychotic characters and pathetic friends who try to help or sabotage his chance of meeting Ben Stiller's first love Mary (Cameron Diaz) he also needs to watch out for Puffy the dog. Me myself and Irene tells the story of a cop played by Jim Carrey who is a very nice guy that has a lot of problems he also has a split personality disorder and his alter ego causes alot of havoc he also has black kids from his cheating ex-wife that he has raised. I thought that this film was very underrated and its a great comedy. Now Shallow Hal was deffinently the weakest film in the boxset, Hal played by Jack Black is only intrested in slim and attractive women and keeps harrasing them until one day he gets hypnotised into seeing the inner beauty of a woman by some hynotist. He starts dating an obese woman played by Gwyneth Paltrow who he sees as an attractive and beautiful person that has a nice heart, thats all very nice but the film isn't as funny as the other faralley films. Overall this was a great addition to my comedy collection and the only thing missing like the other reviwers have said was King pin which is my favorite but I got that on a seperate dvd. If you go to Amazon.co.uk (I should have done this sooner) you will get a better boxset which has the same films plus two more Stuck on you and Say it isn't so and it happens to be alot cheaper aagh!.

Perverted Sicko Degenerates.......2004-12-11

The Farrelly Brothers are perverted sicko degenerates. I had a sick feeling after watching "Shallow Hal" and "There's Something About Mary". Do not buy these sick movies and do not let your children or anyone else you care about watch them.

Best effort possible.......2003-04-11

Although missing Kingpin and Dumb and Dumber (there best films after There's Something About Mary), this is the best possible package from fox. You see, Dumb and Dumber if from New Line, and Kingpin is from MGM. Fox only owns the three here. If you are a big fan of There's Something About Mary, wait! A 2-disc version is supposed to come out later this year. I give Mary five stars, and three for the other two. Although missing D&D and Kingpin, this is the best possible effort, as it has all three films from Fox by the Farrely's, and the best possible editions. I wouldn't buy it unless you love all three, becuase Mary comes out in a Special Edition, and this box is only a little cheaper than them all individually. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!

BUT, What About..............???.......2002-12-03

Dumb & Dumber??? KINGPIN????? How could you POSSIBLY call this a Farrelly Collection without these two gems- only the best two films they made! "Mary" had it's moments, but loses you towards the end. "Irene", aside from an occational laugh (the sons were HILARIOUS!!!) was average at best. And "Hal" was WAY too sweet for the likes of a Farrelly movie. I literally ROARED the first time I saw "Dumb & Dumber" & "Kingpen" and wore out several gears in my VCR from the constant rewinding to catch what I missed during the laughter. This box set makes as much sense as DVD box entitled "The Ultimate George Lucas Collection" with only American Graffitti & Howard the Duck. Too bad.
