Yar, you be here: There's Something More About Mary (Widescreen 2-Disc Collector's Edition) > Customer Reviews There's Something More About Mary (Widescreen 2-Disc Collector's Edition) Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 19 Reviews)GREAT EXTRAS!
This funny, slapstick movie from the Farelly brothers has Ben Stiller hunting down a long lost High School love, with the usual crude gags and sharp turns along the way. Get the widescreen 2-disc director's cut, because it's loaded with special features like gag reels, behind the scenes stuff, interviews, etc. Rated R (contains language, semi-nudity, crude humor relating to sexual content, slapstick violence-- no blood and references to drug abuse) Starring Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon and Cameron Diaz
If you like what the Farrelly Brothers bring to the comic, comedy world, this movie has it. I loved the fact that they mixed up comedy and romance to make a huge hit. The pure gem of comedy, this will be the funniest rated comedy you'll come accross.
Ben Stiller is shown as a braces-wearing, zitt-laden teenager who is enamored w/ Cameron Diaz. The Herman Munster haircut alone is enough to make you chuckle. Several weird and wacky circumstances revolve around Stiller's longing for the girl he missed going to Prom with and other characters who are equally obsessed with her. She's a naive intellectual who is oblivious to the obsurdity surrounding her. Lots of physical humor, but a lot on an intellectual level. This comedy appeals both to those who just like silly and stupid laughter and those who require a pinch of brain power to enjoy a movie. The out-takes and commentaries by the talented Farrelly brothers makes the DVD the obvious choice over VHS. There are a few scenes you'll want to watch over and over again because they are beyond slapstick funny, but I can't picture myself sitting through this beginning to end more than once... after you've seen the jokes and have been taken off-guard by the unconventional scenes, you've seen it... if ya know what I mean, Vern. If you haven't seen it, AFI recently put this on their list of the 100 most funny films of the 20th century... not sure how they did that, since the 20th century won't be over until January 1, 2001, but I guess films made this year will have to hold out until 2100! It is hilarious, and unless sick physical humor disagrees with you, you should enjoy it. This film is NOT for kids... period.
