Return

I saw Something About Mary last night, and I thought it was a howler! Most of the jokes and gags you could see coming a mile away, but it was still funny!

The closing credits, when everyone in most every scene sings the same rock song (the name of which will come to me in a minute) were definitely worth sitting through.

Some funny moments:

Ben Stiller in braces and prom get-up (taupe and tan, complete with ruffled shirt)

The hitch hiker with the body-sized bag and his "7 minute abs"

The palpably enraged detective

Waking up in jail

Ben Stiller's speech about Brett Fay-Vruhh

The pizza boy picking up his keys

Matt Dillon's capped teeth!

The ever-worsening case of hives

The ubiquitous musicians

It was a stitch! But then, I did find Dumb and Dumber and King Pin funny, as well. (Couldn't get enough of those flapping hair pieces!)
