There's Something About Mary (1998) Review

I like comedies. But I'm not huge on laughing. I find them interesting and sometimes funny, but they usually don't tickle my funny bone. There's something about Mary would be one of those exceptions. There's something about Mary is a funny movie. It's filled with interesting characters, great performances from unreliable actors, romance, and a lot of comedy. And for a romantic comedy, it works well. It's not incredibly cheesy or lame as a romance film, but it's still easily recognizable as one. It's a little inappropriate, but it doesn't go so far that you're vomiting when you're laughing. And it doesn't succumb to a cheesy, romantic ending. Yes, the guy you've been rooting for gets the girl he was fighting for. But, the ending is perfect because some more comedy is thrown. The length is perfect, the jokes are great, and it doesn't copy anything. We need more films like this.
Movie Rating: A-
