About This Movie

There's Something About Mary is a prime example of late '90s gross-out comedies with a romantic twist. The Farrelly brothers really nail that blend of raunch and heart, showcasing Ben Stiller's awkward charm as Ted, who’s still hung up on his prom date. The film has a surprisingly warm tone amidst all the absurdity. Cameron Diaz shines, her performance is both sweet and surprisingly layered. The pacing keeps you engaged, with a mix of slapstick and cleverly placed gags. And those practical effects? They still hold up, adding to the outrageousness of certain moments. It's one of those films that captures a specific era in comedy, flirting with the boundaries of taste but always with a light touch.

Released by 20th Century Fox, 1998.Filmed in various locations in Florida.Features practical effects for comedic moments.Score by Jonathan Richman adds an indie vibe.
