There's Something About Mary
Men having trouble with their zips, unusual hair gel - the Farrelly Brothers are at it again in this anarchic, bad-taste comedy that has the dazzling Cameron Diaz as the object of geeky Ben Stiller's affections
Many, many years ago, Ned Beatty's career was almost crippled by his willingness to "squeal like a pig" in John Boorman's Deliverance. In 1998, Cameron Diaz rubbed semen into her scalp and became a star. Go, as they used to say, figure.
As a teenager, Ted (Ben Stiller) snagged his manhood in a zip while wooing the super-popular and lovely Mary (Diaz, at the top of her game). Thirteen years later, he can't get her out of his mind. So he hires sleazy private detective Healy (Matt Dillon) to track her down. Healy ends up falling for Mary himself and so ...
I'd rather eat glass
I can't believe that people thought this putrid mass of garbage was funny. Shifting the efforts at comedy among cruelty, repulsion and idiocy, 'There's Something About Mary' leaves little motivation to stay until the conclusion. Certainly, Cameron Diaz is very attractive, but that is never going to be sufficient to salvage a movie. Ben Stiller struggles rigorously to succeed within the plot, and is evidently very capable, but the film is just a washout.
Very disappointing.
