Thirteen years after a humiliating high-school episode of prom datus interuptus, angst-driven Ted (Ben stiller) is still crazy in love with Mary (Cameron Diaz).  Hoping for a second chance at wooing the girl of his dreams, he hires sleazy private dick Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) to track her down.  However, after taking one look at Mary, Healy decides he wants her for himself.  Before long, Mary’s suitors are engaged in a “hair-raising” battle for her affections, and soon, the fur really flies…right out the window!

DVD REVIEW:

“there’s something about Mary”… one of the best comedy’s I have ever seen.  This is a kind of movie that really makes you want to bust a gut.  Many people have seen this movie, so I don’t need to get into how hilarious this movie is.  Awesome!  Is that gel?

As for the DVD, the audio was superb.  The sound was 5.1 but it’s a dialogue movie, so don’t expect much from this DVD in terms of audio.  As for special features, the highlight for me is the gag outtakes.  That was so funny…especially when you see what Cameron Diaz does with that umm…big tongue of hers.  Hey..what’s Stiller tasting?

Also included is commentary by the Farrelly Brothers, a music video and a karaoke for that ending with help from Puffy.

This DVD is still expensive in some stores…almost close to $30.  Look hard and you can find a great deal.

Recommended!
