| The saddest thing about re-watching your favourite comedies is that they are never as funny as the first time you saw them. Especially comedies like There's Something About Mary, which relies on surprise and situation for it's humour (rather than witticisms). For me, comedy like The Simpsons never gets old, but comedy like this does. We watched it last night, and it's still enjoyable, but I'd have to downgrade it from "Uprorious" to "Chuckleworthy", simply because I already know all the gags and when they are coming. Hard to remember that this is the movie that made Ben Stiller an A-lister, isn't it? And I believe it was Cameron Diaz's first comedy, if you don't count The Mask. Looking back it seems hard to believe. She is perfectly cast. Sexy as hell, but also goofy. Not many actresses can pull that off. Matt Dillon undoubtedly gets all the best lines: The best bit is still the first bit, with the zipper.[while spying on her through the window]: Husband... negative. Children and a Labrador... negative. Tight little package... affirmative. Pat Healy: Really, it's only a side thing for my true passion. Mary: And what's that? Pat Healy: I work with retards. Ted: I think I still want to look her up. Pat Healy: Who, rollerpig? Are you nuts? Ted: You said she was a real sparkplug. Pat Healy: No, I said buttplug. She's heinous. |
