Critics Consensus

There's Something About Mary proves that unrelentingly, unabashedly puerile humor doesn't necessarily come at the expense of a film's heart.

There's Something About Mary | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Manohla Dargis L.A. Weekly If the Farrellys don't know yet how to arrange a group of actors in a shot, they do know how to exploit [their cast] to the fullest, and how to push a joke to its breaking point; their taste is as bad as their timing is exquisite. Jan 5, 2023 Full Review There's Something About Mary | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post If the sight of a large chunk of a man's private parts caught in the teeth of a zipper is funny -- and I'm not saying it isn't -- then have I got a movie for you. Feb 3, 2009 Full Review There's Something About Mary | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Stephen Hunter Washington Post This one is dumbest. And funniest, as if that matters even a little bit! Feb 3, 2009 Full Review There's Something About Mary | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies There's Something About Mary earns its spot as one of the funniest comedy movies ever made. Rated: 4/5 Dec 20, 2023 Full Review There's Something About Mary | Rotten Tomatoes (5) James Slaymaker Vague Visages What begins as a seemingly lightweight romantic comedy gradually expands into a surprisingly sophisticated exploration of romantic obsession and self-delusion. Jun 15, 2023 Full Review There's Something About Mary | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Who would have guessed that the brothers who created the stupid gross-out comedy film “Dumb and Dumber” would be able to change tracks and make an enjoyable, yet still gross, motion picture?

Alejandro E Very funny, I had a great time watching it Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review J P “BUS CRASH. 12 kids killed. What does this cost us?”Funniest movie of all time. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review jenny p This movie is absolute trash made by teenagers and middle aged losers on meth. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review alan g Anotherfailure by Ben Stillborn. Mugging and yelling is not acting. Teenage boy humor. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Josh B This was one of my favourite comedies as a teen, but sadly it does not hold up. I think perhaps the comedy is aimed at teen boys of the 90's. It was worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Maria D Watched this movie when I was fully pregnant. Needless to say I thought I was going to give birth in the theatre with laughing so hard. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
