There’s Something About Mary

December 10, 2004

Rated: R Runtime: 119 min Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen! I’m certain everyone has seen this movie, so I’ll skip the detailed commentary.

To sum it up quickly, boy meets girl in high school, falls in love and plans to go to the prom with her. He didn’t make ti though due to a nasty accident in the bathroom…

Skip ahead 13 years and we find they never did go out, and he’s decided to try and find her. After hiring a detective that turned out to be a bad move, he strikes out on his own to find her.

Seems he’s not the only one who’s fallen in love with Mary though, so he’s got to deal with other suitors who may not be as genuine as they seem…

The DVD has a great picture though it’s not enhanced for widescreen TV’s which is a shame. The 5.1 soundtrack is clear, though I didn’t notice any real use of the surround channels. Regarding bonus materials in this special edition, the box lists a music video, karoke and outtakes. Well, the music video is the video you see during the end credits, and the karoke is the same video with lyrics on screen. The outtakes were quite funny, though I wish there were more of them. It’s basically a bit of behind the scenes footage set to music.
