Hilarious movie!

Enjoyed it from beginning to end. Ben Stiller seems to never dissapoint!

I haven't seen it, but from the previews it looks like it should be called "There's Something About Polly." i.e There's Something About Mary pt.II"

Not bad. Definitely not much more than a by-the-numbers romantic comedy but the performances carry the flick. Hank Azaria, Alec Baldwin, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman steal every scene they're in. What's sad is I would probably lose a game of basketball to Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character.

I watch most movies at home on DVD so I end up dragging up old posts when I finally get around to seeing them. (next up Lost in Translation)

I was disappointed in this movie. Good performances by the supporting characters but i found the movie to be unexciting and overall pretty boring.
Nowhere near as good as Something About Mary.

Jennifer is nice to look at but she doesn't act much. She is pretty much Jennifer Aniston in everything. Ben Stiller provided some funny monents as usual.

This movie was not a total waste but pretty disappointing IMO. The blind ferret gag got old pretty quick and wasn't that funny to begin with.

I was dissappointed, too. Probably because I had high expectations, though. Hank Azzaria made the movie--if it weren't for him, it would have been a waste of time. But, he saved it--now I would call it "just okay."

wow - I can't believe you guys all liked this movie - it was about the most average, lifeless, jokeless comedy I've seen in a long time - and BenStiller playing that same character is so freaking tired.

It must have been censored by Disney (or Moore, depending on the content). All I see is a red x.
