Good: Soundtrack adds to film’s allure
SUMMER MOVIES
‘There’s Something
About Mary’
Comedy

they challenge each other in dif
ferent directions,” Bobby Farrelly
said.
Diaz said she sees the Farrelly
brothers as two who are constant
ly crossing the line, producing
work that is outrageous and total
ly unique. Elliott commented that
the brothers have a way of “mak
ing people who do idiotic things
appear sympathetic.”
There’s something about the
soundtrack that has the audience
tapping its feet to the background
beat. The score includes The
Dandy Warhols, Lemonheads and
The Foundations. Jonathan Rich
man and his drummer, who keep
popping up between transitions,
cause quite a few laughs them
selves, adding to the whimsical
humor the film holds.
"Something” is the feel-good,
kick-back movie that the silver
screen has been needing to light
en up the asteroids and oversized
lizards we’ve been fed all year.
The star-studded cast brings
such a large amount of life to the
screen, the craving and heart
break that each “stalker” experi
ences touches the audience a bit
too close to home. I actually felt
sorry for all her pursuers.
"There’s Something About Mary”
brings affection to the world of
lust and makes you think twice
about restraining orders.
It’s like getting caught in your
zipper — it may hurt like hell, but
it’s damn funny.
Bad: ‘Mary’ doesn’t deliver
■ Continued from Page 1
out anyone interesting enough
to draw out his reactions.
Diaz does well enough as
Mary Jenson. Unfortunately,
many people might expect her
to carry the movie, which she
does not do as an actress. And
it’s just not possible to make
her role the lead as the object
of multiple affections.
The film also relies too
heavily on Elliott for the out
landish character of Ted’s
friend, Dom. Elliott winds up
being a catalyst for most of the
action when he hires Pat
Healy (Matt Dillon) to find
Mary for Ted. Healy falls for
Stroehmann’s high school
crush, who missed prom 13
years earlier due to
Stroehmann’s unfortunate
zipper accident. Later, Elliott
remains pitifully instrumental
and out of his league as a
cameo actor.
“There’s Something About
Mary" can’t live up to its crit
ical acclaim as “the funniest
movie of the decade,” as Tim
Reid of MTV Radio character
ized it. Luckily, the gags from
the previews are the film’s
highlights. The final lip
synching session gave a
glimpse of the playful come
dies that we missed.

throw out that which is causing you
grief.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)

of emotion. Because you are so charm

ers perceive you as being vulnerable,
deep down you are extremely self
reliant and resourceful.
