It's hard to overestimate the impact of "There's Something About Mary," which celebrates its 15th anniversary this week (it was released on July 15, 1998 -- scroll down for "There's Something About Mary: Where Are They Now?").
Even casual viewers of the film can never hear the phrase "frank and beans" the same way. The Farrelly Brothers' comedy dared to go where few comedies had gone before, and where countless others have tried to go since.
"Mary" wasn't the first gross-out comedy (though it may be one of the first to make a sight gag out of a zipper-mangled penis, or a misplaced glob of body fluid). But it was the first to work that gross-out humor into a sweet romantic comedy about believable, well-rendered characters. It was, in a perverse way, a movie for everybody, with the scatological humor targeting male audiences and the character-driven romance targeting female audiences. But...

This weekend, Peter and Bobby Farrelly direct the husbands-on-a-break comedy Hall Pass. We decided to look back on the movie that brought the Farrellys’ particular brand of feel-good gross-out humor into the American zeitgeist. There’s Something About Mary was the sleeper hit of 1998, spending most of the summer slowly rising higher on the box office top 10. It kickstarted the careers of stars Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller. But 12 years later, has the movie aged well?
Keith Staskiewicz: This movie really makes you realize that there is a big difference between being “offensive” and being truly offensive. Sure, there...

Over 10 years have passed since the theatrical debut of “There’s Something About Mary,” and I still can’t stop laughing. On the surface it appears to be your typical boy loses girl… boy gets girl story. But, anyone who understands the meaning of ‘Franks and Beans’ and Alfalfa hair gel will tell you different. Ted (Ben Stiller) tries to reconnect with his one-true love, Mary (Cameron Diaz), who got away on Prom night. He solicits the help of the sleazy private detective Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) to help him find his lost love. But, when Pat falls in love with Mary, a love-triangle story like no other ensues that will have you laughing days after its over. Directed by the Farrelly brothers, “There’s Something About Mary” assembles an all-star cast that urges you to drop your jaw in laughter. Matt Dillon, Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz have an amazing rapport on camera,...
