Mary à tout prix

It’s stupid, dumb, vulgar and endlessly foul, yet, world wonder, really funny. This is despite a few weaker moments. (24/01/2007)

From shock through reserved tolerance to bursts of laughter. A comedy that needs to be carefully reached. (28/05/2006)

There's something about Ben Stiller, because if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be nearly as amused by There's Something About Mary. It is Stiller's undeniable talent for comedy that makes the film's best scenes (the first attempt to gift Warren with a baseball, the hitchhiking, arrest and interrogation passage, and the battle with the dog) the best. Yes, I know he didn't (probably) write them, but I can't imagine them working that way with anyone else. And although I might have given maybe one less star otherwise, because I didn't like a lot of the stuff that others seemed to find super funny (anything with Magda, then of course the hair gel, the stupid songwriters, Tucker collecting keys), thanks to Stiller I not only give it a third star, but I'll even watch the film again for sure because of his scenes.

Une comédie culte des frères Farrelly que je n’oublierai jamais. La salle bondée du cinéma de la petite ville où j’habitais riait à l’unisson et moi, je m’éclatais. Cameron et son sourire particulier, Ben le perpétuel infortuné et Matt le comique, les blagues mémorables et la scène la plus marquante avec le gel dans les cheveux… Tous ces ingrédients forment l’une des meilleures comédies des années quatre-vingt-dix.
