There's Something About Mary Reviews
There's Something About Mary earns its spot as one of the funniest comedy movies ever made.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 20, 2023
What begins as a seemingly lightweight romantic comedy gradually expands into a surprisingly sophisticated exploration of romantic obsession and self-delusion.

Who would have guessed that the brothers who created the stupid gross-out comedy film “Dumb and Dumber” would be able to change tracks and make an enjoyable, yet still gross, motion picture?
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 23, 2023
If the Farrellys don't know yet how to arrange a group of actors in a shot, they do know how to exploit [their cast] to the fullest, and how to push a joke to its breaking point; their taste is as bad as their timing is exquisite.

Crude, vulgar, reprehensible, and probably a threat to the American way of life — in a word, hilarious.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 2, 2022
Blends ludicrous fantasy, uncomfortable reality, and cartoonish slapstick, which magically straightens out the mess of combating characters - all with romance and sincerity.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 24, 2020
Farrelly bros' classic is full of gross-out laughs.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2010
The movie managed to walk a line between raunchy, gross-out comedy and a romantic comedy.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 10, 2010
Gauche, garish, and gross, a prime example of the coarsening of our culture and of the art of comedy in film. It's also pretty darn funny. [Blu-ray]
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 24, 2009
If the sight of a large chunk of a man's private parts caught in the teeth of a zipper is funny -- and I'm not saying it isn't -- then have I got a movie for you.

This one is dumbest. And funniest, as if that matters even a little bit!

Losers competing against one another (and even bigger losers) for a dishy woman: That's the setup for [the Farrellys'] wrackingly funny new farce There's Something About Mary, maybe the ultimate nerd masochistic fantasy.
| Feb 3, 2009
Crudely made, somewhat overlong and larded with plenty of things that don't work, pic stands as proof positive that a comedy can be far from perfect and still hit the bull's-eye if it delivers when it counts in its big scenes.

Despite my earlier reservations about Bobby and Peter Farrelly, they're progressively winning me over, partly because they keep getting better.

A romantic gross-out comedy: What a concept!
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 11, 2008
Puerile, politically incorrect, rib-achingly funny and strangely insightful.

...Dillon's Pat, in an effort to win Mary's affections, poorly attempts to ape her compassion for the handicapped by referring to them as "retards" and "goofy bastards...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 12, 2007
Remarkable for all the sick and politically incorrect sight gags it gets away with in its rule-breaking romp through the supposedly sacred laws of what makes people laugh, and what doesn't.

It was the raunchy comedy that raked in the headlines and had audiences shaking their heads in offended laughter, then coming back the weekend after, dragging in friends by their arms.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 11, 2007
Crude, offensive, sexist -- and embarrassingly hilarious.
