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 (13 - 15 of 19 Reviews)Franks And Beans!!!!!!!
The Farrelly Brothers strike again with this gut splitting, knee slapping comedy that is sure to become a comedy classic. Cameron Diaz stars as Mary, the all around special girl that every guy is immediatley drawn too. As the title says, there's just something about Mary. Ben Stiller plays an old high school friend who was to take Mary to the prom, when an unfortunate zipper accident occurs in her house. We jump forward years later and Stiller enlists the help of private eye Matt Dillon to find Mary for him. While he does this, Dillon falls in love with her himself. Ben Stiller is a master at this. Look at all his work and you'll see why. Matt Dillon shines in a hilarious role that shows his not much seen comedic side. Cameron Diaz is funny, but not the funniest. She also needs to eat something. Fast. The real standout was Earl Brown as Mary's retarded Brother, and Lin Shaye as Magda, Mary's apartment manager. The film goes from one hysterical joke to another. I couldn't stop laughing. It's also always nice to see Chris Elliot on the screen. This is a non-stop gas that is sure to entertain all. Watch out for that hair gel scene. You've been warned. Go ahead and have a good laugh. Frank and Beans!!!
There's something about Mary has been know for its classic scene where Ted's (Ben Stiller) gets his zipper stuck with his, well lets just say Frank and his beans and the hair gel scene, which you've must of heard of you know where Mary's hair is all spiked up, if you don't know how her hair got like that you have to watch this film. The story takes as Ted is in love with Mary in high school. But the incident happened which then she moves to Florida without saying goodbye to Ted. He is still in love with her after 13 years, so then he hires a detective (Matt Damon) to find her. The detective then falls in love with Mary, which the detective gives Ted false information about Mary. Ted then still has a crush on her, which he still goes to Florida. They then find many people who are interested in Mary. It is a hilarious comedy which if you haven't seen, its a must see. The DVD includes great special features. It shows when Ben Stiller won the Best fight award with him and the dog at the Mtv movie awards. This also includes the theatrical trailer and 13 TV spots. It also includes the AMC backstory, which is great, and videos and interviews with the cast. It also shows the origin of the movie of how it came all about. There is much much more in this DVD which you should buy. The commentary with the Farrelly Brothers is hilarious. I also though they should have kept the alternate beginning, which is in clay, but its really cool. They give you 2 options to watch the movie, the theatrical version and the extended version with 15 minutes of never before seen scenes. There are interactive menus, which are in clay that are cool. It also shows 43 minutes of behind the scene footage. This is a must get if you really love the movie.
At his buddy (played by the hilarious, scene-stealing Chris Elliot)'s urging, Ted hires a private detective to find her. The detective (Matt Dillon) finds her and falls for Mary himself. There is also a crippled man who lusts after Mary. Through all this, the story is "narrated" by two unnamed musicians who pop up now and then and sing about the action. There are so many hilarious scenes; the zipper, the dog, the hair gel, the hitchhiker; you've heard about all of them. This is one time when the movie lives up to the buzz. The video also includes outtakes and a music video made by the cast. Cameron Diaz is so beautiful and funny that you cannot take your eyes off of her. Matt Dillon is billed over the hero, Ben Stiller. Dillion plays an over-the-top sleeze bag and is perfect in the part. Stiller doesn't have hero-good-looks, but he is a likeable everyman and has a great deadpan expression. This isn't the kind of movie one admits to liking, but it is a very funny comedy!
