I think the high school parts were really hilarious and well acted. I prefer those scenes more than the time they have grown up. Visiting the house to take Mary for prom was very funny and written well. The chemistry between the two lead Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. Matt Dillon was very good and funny. Also the rest of the cast were good too. Other than these facts, the movie was an average rom-com which really gets boring at a point. Even though every actor gave their best performance, the script could have been better. The thing I liked about the movie was the laughs and the soundtrack that was very suprisingly cheerful Overall, I would refer this movie for laughs (It has a lot of hilarious scenes in it) and for the chemistry between Ben and Cameron. So that is why I give this film a 6 stars

There's Something About MaryMultiple characters and their sub plots are the key in here for it thickens the plot and gives enough space and increases the probability of the comic sequences and humor to fit in. There's Something About Mary is fast paced with gripping screenplay and flat out childish humor to rely upon through out the course of it. Cameron is in the centre of it and still feels like she is supporting the other actors like Ben and Matt who are in amazing form with the perfect comic timing. Farrelly Brothers offers enough material in 2 hours and surprisingly an unpredictable script with enough twists to keep investing in it. There's Something About Mary starts off as one of the guilty pleasure movie but turns out quite a reasonable one and a genuine heart with in it.

This Is the funniest movie ever! I always laugh so much every time i watch this show. It never gets old. I wish comedy movies were made like the olden ones, as now most comedies are plain stupid. Matt Dillon, and Ben Stiller are so funny in this show. In my opinion this is the greatest comedy movie ever made! The most memorable scenes, and funniest I think is when Matt Dillon's character is telling Cameron Diaz's how he control's his "retards", and what he does with him. I always love the part when Ben Stiller and Cameron's dog have an epic fight. I think this movie transformed Ben Stiller's movie career and to be the star that he is today.

There's Something About Mary (1998): Dir: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly / Cast: Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, Lee Evans, Chris Elliot: Hilarious comedy about attraction. Mary is the obsession of several scheming males but only one poises sincerity. Cameron Diaz plays Mary, the dream girl of Ben Stiller. He was set to take her to the prom until an accident involving his zipper prevented it. After thirteen years he seeks her whereabouts through a sleazy investigator who does find her but deceives Stiller with wrong information when he decides to pursue her. This leads to a road trip of embarrassing mishaps. Vulgar yet sincere storytelling by Bobby and Peter Farrelly who previously made the excellent Kingpin as well as the hilarious Dumb and Dumber. Both directors not only pull off great comic writing but also the ultimate date movie since it can easily appeal to both genders. Stiller is a great foil as the lovesick hero but it is his sincerity that is the heart of the movie. Cameron Diaz glows as the free spirited Mary even during a tasteless hair gel scene. Matt Dillon is hilarious as the investigator deceiving his way into Mary's life. Lee Evans plays the handicapped Tucker detecting competition. Chris Elliot plays Dom, Stiller's best friend who has a fetish for womens' footwear, and a problem with hives. It regards our intentions in relationships resulting in pure comic fun. Score: 10 / 10
