Reviews for There's Something About Mary
Is it worth seeing? Well, not if you want something genuinely witty.
01/01/00
Positively reeks of tastelessness and lack of common decency.
01/01/00
Some people don't know when they've taken a joke too far.
01/01/00
The Farrellys work so hard to be outrageous they end up sacrificing story, characters, even comedy, to achieve maximum gross-out.
10/15/02
I was completely and utterly bored by it.

[The filmmakers], out of some hyperactive reflex, grab at any joke they can get, like toddlers trying desperately to spear fish in a creek--a shallow creek.

There's Something About Mary doesn't approach the witty anarchy of movies like Animal House, The Naked Gun, or Hairspray.

Top Critic...there were also moments when I was actually bored.

Stand warned.

Top CriticComparing this to other movies that were actually funny is insulting.
01/01/00
Puerile, politically incorrect, rib-achingly funny and strangely insightful.
08/11/08
The performers all fall effortlessly into their slapstick roles.
01/01/00
Asquerosamente divertida.
08/31/01
Really one of the most enjoyable comedies of the year.
01/01/00
Remarkable for all the sick and politically incorrect sight gags it gets away with in its rule-breaking romp through the supposedly sacred laws of what makes people laugh, and what doesn't.
04/27/07
Top CriticMoments of boring idiocy mixed with moments of inspired hilarity.
