This is the funniest film I've ever seen - and I've watched hundreds of comedy films. This is laugh-out-loud hilarious. This is what a comedy film should be like. Sure, it's not realistic that Cameron Diaz's red-hot character would want someone average like Ben Stiller's character. However, if you can suspend your disbelief in that regard - the film is riotously funny.

I watched this movie last night, after scoring it a 10/10 from the last time I saw it more than a decade ago.It more than passes the test of time with funny, clever and edgy, career defining performances from Stiller, Diaz and the supporting cast.One of those movies that set the bar and has so many imitators, but could be re-released tomorrow and be an even bigger hit. Cameron Diaz is so beautiful, lovable and amazing in this, it is no wonder she went on to be the highest grossing female earner in history.Ben Stillers best movie in his top 5- (Zoolander, Dodge Ball, Mystery Men, Reality Bites)the Farrelly Brothers have had very few movies that I would give a decent review, but this is a perfect movie, and if you like this, check out 'Me, Myself and Irene' also written, produced and directed by them.

Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Crass "jokes" and childish toilet "humour" left me scratching my head as to why others rated it so highly. I was looking forward to seeing this movie as it was recommended by a friend (whom I thought had good taste). After sitting through the body function scenes and 'appendage caught in zip scene' I was truly appalled - and again, mystified as to why people found this amusing.On par with the Porky's movies: probably worse, as it's not geared towards drooling adolescent males.I recommend you avoid this drivel - watching the grass grow would be a lot more entertaining.

There's Something About Mary is a comedic film that features Cameron Diaz in a star-making title role together with Matt Dillon and Ben Stiller.It is a film by the Farrelly brothers that combines romantic comedy and gross humor.The film starts when an awkward and shy 16-year-old high-school student named Ted Stroehmann lands a prom date with his dream girl Mary Jensen.Unfortunately,it was cut short by a painful and embarrassing zipper accident. After he suffers from the ordeal of pain and embarrassment, Ted end up in the hospital after the incident and loses touch with Mary.Thirteen years later, Ted is still in love.He hires a private investigator to find her and tries to win her once more now that it would be more challenging considering that he finds her a successful orthopedic surgeon residing in Miami. This was definitely an unforgettable film.One main reason is the fact that we here see a great looking,sexy and charming Cameron Diaz who is on her way to stardom before she changed into becoming the premiere actresses for bitches in movies such as The Counselor,Vanilla Sky and Charlie's Angels.Probably,it was also a time wherein she still signs autographs from fans.Anyway,she definitely portrayed the charm and appeal of Mary extremely well.As for the story,it was also able to handle romantic comedy and gross out humor together magnificently.While it maybe offensive and raunchy in many scenes,it also was able to become insightful when it comes to romance.Viewers will definitely feel the love that a romantic comedy rarely provides.Ben Stiller was definitely in top form during the production of the film.And most of all,give credit to the Farrelly brothers for arguably making their best film ever.In it,the movie makes fun of manners,political correctness,moral values and being polite but nevertheless they only made the viewer aware that we are capable of great sense of humor only known to us - human beings.The three reasons stated above makes it deserving of all the accolades and commercial success that it received during it theatrical release.
