Reviews for There's Something About Mary
There's Something about Mary is the funniest movie to come along since Liar Liar.
01/01/00
I was completely and utterly bored by it.
01/01/00
I laughed so hard throughout most of it, it was getting difficult to breathe.
01/01/00
Anyone who can tap into the Farrellys' truly sick and twisted wavelength will find a mother lode of laughs.
01/01/00
There's Something About Mary doesn't approach the witty anarchy of movies like Animal House, The Naked Gun, or Hairspray.

Top CriticYou know how you go see a film that's been hyped up the butt and no matter how good it is, it's never as good as you expected? Trash that theory. No matter how hyped this movie becomes, you'll enjoy it immensely.

There's plenty to enjoy in the performances.

Stand warned.

Top CriticA gut-busting blast of tasteless tomfoolery.
01/01/00
Top CriticThis film is remarkably intelligent and totally honest about an intriguing topic, the topic of obsession.
01/01/00
Deliciously wicked, hilariously entertaining and outrageously funny, There's Something About Mary is a real charmer.
01/01/00
Comparing this to other movies that were actually funny is insulting.
