Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Ted brings Warren a baseball autographed by Tony Conigliaro. Conigliaro played for the Boston Red Sox in the 60s and was seriously injured when he was hit in the face by a pitched fastball, echoing Warren's accident in the previous montage. 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
Quotes:

Ted: [voice over] When I was 16 years old, I fell in love.

One Of The Funniest Films Ever Made, 10 April 2003
9/10
Author: Theo Robertson from Isle Of Bute , Scotland

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
