Trivia:
In the beginning of the film, it says "Cumberland, Rhode Island". This is an actual town in Rhode Island where the Farrelly Brothers grew up. more
Goofs:
Miscellaneous: On Prom Night, Ted gets caught staring out the bathroom window into another window of Mary's home as she gets undressed. However, they are in the same house and the outside shot of the home that we see does not indicate that the house would wrap around in such a way for this scene to be possible. more

Goofy, low brow humour- but it has something..., 19 November 1999
7/10
Author: Meredith-7 from Melbourne, Australia

In the past I have not been a great fan of the Farrelly brothers films, however this film is an exception. The dog scenes were probably the funniest personally, but there were heaps of other scenes that are well worth a mention. Cameron Diaz was fantastic as Mary, the girl everyone is after and Ben Stiller was excellent. Matt Dillon was way too over the top- I know his role somewhat warranted it- but did he have to be so excessive? He seemed so irritating. There is no doubt that the humour in this film is of the lowest possible calibre, but it really works- think Dumb & Dumber, but only quite good. Despite all the comic situations in the film, there is still something undeniably sweet in the centre of the story, I think thats what made it work. Its certainly not top class entertainment, but its highly recommended for when you are in a stupid mood and need a good laugh.
