Consensus: There's Something About Mary proves that unrelentingly, unabashedly peurile humor doesn't necessarily come at the expense of a film's heart.

Runtime: 2 hrs 18 mins

Genre: Comedies

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY is a no-holds-barred comedy tour-de-force in which 30-something Ben Stiller locates and courts his high school dreamgirl (Cameron Diaz), unwittingly enlisting the help of some of her more hilariously psychotic suitors. In-your-face sight gags and unapologetic raunchiness disguise a riotously funny love story that is actually very sweet. Be amazed at the impeccable casting and stellar performances of the supporting players. [More]

If you can force yourself to forget about what came after it, Mary remains an enjoyably filthy (and sweet) comedy , filled with laugh-out-loud moments.

The witty romance is enhanced by the Farrelly's outrageous physical comedy gags and off-color situations, shocking viewers all the way to the cash register.
