Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Ted is at the chiropractor after helping the older man move, the doctor says tenderness left of "L-7". There is no L-7. Parts of the vertebrae are labeled: C-1 to C-7, T-1 to T-12, and L-1 to L-5. However, the term L7 is slang a “square”, and this is most likely a subtle joke at the expense of Ted.

I don`t like comedies but I do enjoy much of the Farrelly Brothers stuff and THERE`S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY is their greatest achievment which is probably down to their casting . Ben Stiller is perfect as Ted while Matt Dillon is absolutely outstanding as sleazy ( And boy do I mean sleazy ) private investigator Pat Healy . My only criticism is of Cameron Diaz who`s slightly bland , but she is attractive and that`s all that matters
I suppose how funny you`ll find this film is down to your own subjective opinion of what should or shouldn`t be made fun of . I`ll be honest and say that jokes featuring stalking , serial killers , semen , spiking doggie snacks with drugs and learning difficulties are all fair game ,and perhaps I`m being too honest in saying I laughed out loud at these serious subjects being made fun of ?
Sorry if this review has been very short but I find it difficult to write hundreds of words about a film I love
