Classic Friday : There’s Something About Mary (1998) 9/10

Starring : Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon, Lee Evans, Chris Elliott
Director : Bobby & Peter Farrelly
Running Time : 119 mins

When Ted (Stiller) realises that he is still in love with his high school sweetheart Mary (Diaz), he hires a private detective named Healey (Dillon) to track her down, but when Healey decides to have Mary for himself he convinces Ted that she is everything he wouldn’t want in a woman.

This is possibly the greatest and best loved comedies of the 1990s. The story is so silly, and everyone remembers at least a couple of scenes from this off the top of their head. The slapstick is spot on, the performances are excellent, and the conclusion of the movie is exactly what it should be. Simply put – fantastic!
