Crazy about Mary, 31 October 2008
10/10
Author: kurciasbezdalas from Lithuania

This is probably the second best comedy by Farrelly Brothers next to the Dumb and Dumber. As always there's a good plot and many funny scenes. There were many famous actors. I'm not a big fan of Ben Stiller, but I noticed that all of his movies which I've seen are good and this one is no exception. I also liked Matt Dillon's character, actually I know some people with a very similar character and that made it even funnier. There were many other funny characters and I'm too lazy to write about them all but other two which I memorized were Mary's retard brother and Harland Williams character. Cameron Diaz was very suitable for Mary's role. Actually I haven't seen much of her movies but I think she's very good at romantic comedies.
