Turns out I'd seen this one before, obviously not that memorable the first time, certainly not the second either. Making a note for furture reference, kinda sucked!

I think i laughed once or twice, both compliments of Stiller Snr. Feels like Ben Stiller is sleep walking a role he has done 100 times over and much better in other films. Shot on video and most likely a straight to video release but not because of the cinematography. Should have known better being a Farrelly Bro production, they have been re-writing "Something about Mary" into various movies since 1994. See the 1972 original with Charles Grodin and Cybill Shepherd, much much better. One of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" remakes.

Has SOME funny bits...but is an unbelievable plot with typical yankee cinema behaviour....Stiller is yet to be proved as a comedian..a 6.5/10 from me..

Well, it is a bit gross in places, but on the whole my wife and I enjoyed this film. It provides enough laughs to be considered worth watching.
Rebecca
says
Loved it! Lots of laughs. Good way to spend a lazy Sunday
Letitia
says
very funny, worth watching

No stars! This is a TERRIBLE film. Even the gratutitous sex (which I usually don't mind) is tasteless and stupid.
The 'witty' ending makes the whole film even worse.
Give this a miss. Go iron some shirts or something.

I have to admit to being a huge Ben Stiller fan. I loved the Heartbreak Kid. It is a Adults only comedy. With a rather over the top story line. However, it was pure entertainment and great fun. Highly recommended if you need your funny bone tickled. If you are a prude or wowser, stay away, read a book.
If you are broadminded and like colourful dialogue and adult themed humour, do yourself a favour!!1

This was funny, light hearted humour that is great for a nice Sunday afternoon laugh. We enjoyed it.

Wow. I thought Ben Stiller was better than this. Absolutely hated it. Horrible characters. Horrible story. I cannot even cunt how many people left the cinema before the movie was even half way.

MA15 is a bit low. This film has wall to wall sex,drugs
Bryan B.
says
Certainly up the line of typcial Ben Stiller humour, but a little nastier. Some really gross and dirty humour leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Was funny without including the dirtyness - this one goes too far - really unecessary.
Sandra S.
says
Another great Farrelly brothers movie. Crude, rude but also quite funny.
Darren M.
says
Not bad for a 'chick flick'. Ben Stiller is awesome here. A good bag of laughs and a nice story about where one's heart finds true love.
Cherith
says
Had lots of really funny moments and found it to be very engaging but overall somewhat disappointing. The storyline doesn't flow as well as it could and the title is quite misleading. Ben Stiller playing the more disturbed character, while very well acted, leaves the viewer longing for the "nice guy" role to emerge as has come to be expected by some of his more famous roles. This aspect is also somewhat misleading given the cover and marketing for the movie and leaves the viewer somewhat frustrated.

We both enjoyed this. Quite a few laughs as Ben Stiller finally takes the plunge only to find that he's married the wrong one while the woman of his dreams is about to walk into his newlywed life. A no brainer and maybe we were just in a particularly good mood...........
Steph V.
says
Crude, objectifying in its treatment of women, rarely funny and always in bad taste. Probably a Ben Stiller classic. Ick.
Norman G.
says
lt's a classic up there with the very very very best of the romantic comedies. Like knocked up, 40 year old virgin, good luck chuck, superbad, the sweetest thing. lt's simply brilliant you will laugh like a beast!
Andrew H.
says
I think this was right up there with the Farrelly brothers There's Something About Mary. Could've seen Cameron Diaz playing Stiller's wife in this. It is an adult comedy as the MA15+ rating suggests. Some great laughs and moments that other comedies just don't go to.
Dianne G.
says
had some funny bits , abit hard to feel sorry for ben stillers character since he was married
Scott P.
says
This was a good movie, but not as good as some of the other Ben Stiller movies. Good for a few laughs, but not for the whole family.
Colin Y.
says
Quite good Farrelly Bros comedy. Not in the league of Something About Mary, but Ben & Jerry (Stiller) are both very funny.
Jay R.
says
Love this movie. Ben Stiller is hilarious.
Jay R.
says
Love it!!!! It makes you think make sure you know someone b4 you get married lol.
I recommend everyone to check it out, if you dont like it! Go buy a sense of humor lol.
Sean D.
says
Hilarious and a bit more edgey for Stiller.
Carol M.
says
I didn't think the Farrelly Bros could top the "hair gel" in There's Something About Mary, but they managed to with gusto in this movie! Some really hilarious scenes and some scenes that make you cringe. A fun (but adult!) comedy.
Matthew B.
says
Average movie with typically contrived rom-com plot. Jerry Stiller stands out as Ben's onscreen father. About twenty minutes too long.
Maria C.
says
The movie only gets worse as it goes along.
Julia B.
says
I was quite disappointed with this movie. Not what I was expecting and I was quite grateful I didn't waste $15 to see it at the movies
Carly E.
says
Loved it! hillarious! Probably not one for those who are over Ben Stiller but I love him and his style of acting. So many funny cringeworthy scenes!
Kylie M.
says
Good very funny
Kristy
says
Very funny and enjoyable movie to watch the whole way through it.

Thought I was going to see a "lovely" movie instead I got too much full sex scenes and a little too much foul language. Now don't get me wrong I'm no prude but sometimes too much is too much. Thought it could be so much better with a cast this good.
Clare B.
says
awful wrong wrong wrong. yuck!
Gerd H.
says
A fabulously funny movie. Misunderstandings and marrying the wrong person keep the laughs coming. While some would disagree, this is the most entertaining movie in a long while. Not to be taken too seriously, of course. And it would’ve even worked without the sex scenes.
W B O.
says
Quite funny and easy enough to watch but I just hated the message of this film. A bit too tacky for my liking.
Rebecca S.
says
This movie was weird. My Dad and I didn't enjoy it. It was actually quite boring.

Pretty funny but not the best Farrelly Brothers movie out there. Ben and Jerry Stiller are terrific still.
Andrew S.
says
I found this flim to be extremely disappointing. Gracious sex scenes and excessive language is not what I expected from a Ben Stiller comedy. It would be fair to say that the Farrelly brothers have taken tips from Judd Apatow and simply tried too hard to top Knocked Up! In doing so, the movie fails miserably, and thus misses the mark totally.
A 'feel-good' comedy this is not. Nor is it in the least bit meaningful, or a reflection of real life.
Truth be told, there are moments of laughter, but nothing even half as memorable as from Dodge Ball, Along Came Polly, etc..
Kerry S.
says
Once again Ben and Jerry Stiller will have you in stitches. What a rude, crude and fantastic flick! Bloody hilarious and somewhat easy to relate to I must admit.
Carolyn S.
says
Very funny.... certainly has its moments!
Very obvious that this one is a Farrelly Brothers movie!
Paul B.

Cherie H.

good Movie
Cass
says
Like a cross between the worst romantic comedy you've ever seen, and 'Scary Movie 3'. And the donkey - so not cool.
Jeanette C.
says
Always Funny! Ironic Humour is the best!
Raymond M.
says
Not bad. Worth watching.
Paul G.
says
Worth a watch once but I found it long and with the odd laugh in between a predictable storyline.
William D.
says
I thought this was only average for Ben Stiller worth watching but he has made better Movies

I expected more from the Farrelly brothers. Mindless to watch but not as funny as expected.
Alfred S.
says
This is a fairly consistent comedy that I found very funny but every now and then it steps over that line into the realm of bad taste that is very unfunny. Pretty much what I've come to expect from Ben Stiller but this is no Farrelly brothers classic. Be warned that it's not one for grandma or kids but I enjoyed it.
Steve R.

A lot a bad language but so funny
