See it and You will Say it “There’s Something About Mary”


I










‘There’s Something About Mary’  is the end product of the collaboration when two comic geniuses like writer / director / producer farrely brothers(Dumb And Dumber;Me, Myself And Irene) and actor Ben Stiller(Meet The Fockers; Starsky And Hutch) meet to give us a true  masterpiece of the genre. This film really makes us laugh but it still has a layer of romanticness in it which makes it different from all other movies farrely brothers have given us before which were totally comic in there nature.

SYNOPOSIS :-The FIlm is about Ted (ben stiller) who has a crush on the Mary (cameron diaz), by chance he gets a opportunity to take her to prom night. But this opportunity is turn into a disaster by an accident(tragedy for ted, laughter for us) and then he gets no chance to met her again as she moves out of the town.Then after 13 years he release that it was love not crush(”crushes doesn’t last for 13 years”) and he hires a private detective Pat heally(Matt dillon) by advice of his friend. But the detective while spying on mary falls in love with her.Now the rest of the story is pretty hard to tell without spoiling the fun, so watch it and you will know it all.

Now talking about script, it is full with one-liners and many comedy scenes.There are 4 comedy scenes which can make anyone laugh even when you even think off them.And in the one liners my favourite is”I was f**king with you” which is said to such a point to ben stiller in the movie that you feel sorry and laugh at ben stiller both at the same time.Hats off to the director and writer Farrely brother and to writer Ed decter for making such a funny movie.Especially, the idea of a small band singing the song to the mood of the film and the last song which comes when the credits are rolled are fun to watch.

The actors have also done agreat deal of job to provide us moments to laugh at them and other characters around them .Ben stiller fits into roll of quirky guy who wants to have love of life. Cameron Diaz is as charming as ever and looks really beautiful in the movie. Matt Dillon impresses in the roll of a wicked detective and carrys a mustache which says ‘I am evil’. There is also mentally retarded brother of Mary named Wareen who doesn’t likes his ears to br touched played by W.Earl Brown who provides us a good share of laughter. And the two supporting characters namely “Dom” played by Chris Elliott who is best friend of Ted and “Magda” played by Lin Shaye look good in their rolls. But Dom freaks us out more than he makes us laugh with his nervous skin condition while Magda is more weird than funny with her excessive tan and pet dog,

But overall it’s a great film to watch with your friends.So, just watch this movie and you will laugh it and love it, b’coz There’s Something About Mary.
