Coming off with hits like "Dumb & Dumber" and "Kingpin", audience must have expected funny but juvenile and uncomfortable scenes from Farrelly brothers .But what they did not expect was a mature and sweet love story. Sure this is a romanticComing off with hits like "Dumb & Dumber" and "Kingpin", audience must have expected funny but juvenile and uncomfortable scenes from Farrelly brothers .But what they did not expect was a mature and sweet love story. Sure this is a romantic movie. But this is not another clichéd love story. No, this is a romantic movie with twist. It contains elements of a black comedy as well as a mindless gross-out teen sex comedy (of which I am a big fan)
Though the main plot is not new, how it is executed is. The best part of the movie is its unpredictability. You actually wonder whether the boy will get the girl or not? The movie shocks you not only with its brilliant twists-and-turns but also with its grossness. This movie is quite rewatchable even if it loses shock value after you have seen it many times. Those who are fan of the first three "American Pie" movies will quite appreciate its humor. Though the gags may not be as disgusting or sexual like the 1999 American Pie, they are still funny and memorable. Some of them are so funny that your stomach will hurt from laughter even if you know what is going to happen.
Even if you don't like its humor, you will still like the movie for its memorable character, brilliant pacing, nice music and believable acting, which is done by everyone in cast. Be warned this movie is not for everyone due to its vulgarity and political incorrectness.

Really hilarious movie. There is really something about Mary. Everyone that talks to her likes her. Is that hair gel?

Hilarious, off the wall, rom-com (?) with scenes that you will never forget.
One of the best movies of 1998 and one of the decade's best comedies.

its a very rude and very hilarious film that the makers without doubt are probably rather content with their metascore. Its a film among some of Stiller's best moments and may be for some among some of the best moments of comedy in film.

A good comedy with nice actors and funny jokes (though some of them are too "toilet"). Ben Stiller is playing a looser as always, and he is as always great!

The main thing that attracted me in this movie it really has a story, which develops and even has some twists (which is unlikely for generic stories of modern comedies). Expand

There are some very funny scenes, but on the other side there are some stupid scenes in my view. I dont like Ben Stiller and in this movie he was not sympathetic for me again.

"There's Something About Mary" mixes gross-out humor with a heartfelt story and clever writing very well.
