Leave your thoughts about There's Something About Mary.
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamIn the person of Cameron Diaz, Mary is an island of sanity, good-natured humanity and genuine sweetness in an ocean of anarchy. Without her presence, There's Something About Mary would be merely sophomoric and tasteless. |
| Film Journal InternationalEd KelleherIt's not every day that you hear screams of laughter coming from a movie theatre. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsTed PriggeThis film is remarkably intelligent and totally honest about an intriguing topic, the topic of obsession. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversSensational, sicko fun -- you won't believe your eyes -- and just the thing to shake up the creeping conservatism that is draining the vulgar life out of pop culture. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestI wasn't just laughing, I was howling like a madman, like the rest of the audience. |

| CinematterMadeleine WilliamsThe masters of bad taste have managed to create a surprisingly good film. |
| Apollo GuideElspeth HaughtonThis comedy made me laugh. Uncontrollably. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA giddy symphony of rude and raucous low humor. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThere's Something About Mary may be many things, but dull and routine aren't among them. |
