San Francisco Chronicle | Bob GrahamAdd Critic to Favorites

In the person of Cameron Diaz, Mary is an island of sanity, good-natured humanity and genuine sweetness in an ocean of anarchy. Without her presence, There's Something About Mary would be merely sophomoric and tasteless.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

Sensational, sicko fun -- you won't believe your eyes -- and just the thing to shake up the creeping conservatism that is draining the vulgar life out of pop culture.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Joe GardenAdd Critic to Favorites

One of the funniest movies of the year, but you may need to shower afterwards.Read the full review

USA Today | Susan WloszczynaAdd Critic to Favorites

A gut-busting blast of tasteless tomfoolery.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Kenneth TuranAdd Critic to Favorites

Washington Post | Stephen HunterAdd Critic to Favorites

This one is dumbest. And funniest, as if that matters even a little bit!Read the full review
