There's Something About Mary

There's Something About Mary (1998) starring Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, Ben Stiller. Thirteen years after high school, Ted (Stiller) is still pining for his crush (Diaz), whom, but for an unfortunate accident, he would have taken to the prom. So he hires a private detective (Dillon) to track her down in Florida. Nobody is who he seems to be in this gross-out comedy from the Farrely brothers, and although it has some funny moments (Ted's epic fight with a little dog stands out), it doesn't really hold up all that well. This disc from Netflix was in terrible shape, and the subtitles didn't function correctly either. For that I give the film a Grade: C.
