There’s Something About Mary
Comedy December 30th, 2007 
When I first saw There’s Something About Mary, it wasn’t under the best circumstances and I was in Myrtle Beach, SC. I remember really hating the movie because Ben Stiller’s character in high school looked just like my brother. For some reason that upset me. I watched the movie again the other night and it was better than I remember. This time I was struck by how much Ben Stiller as the grown up character looks like my brother. I’m not sure what that means. Anyway, did you know that Ben Stiller’s mother is Anne Meara? That Jerry Stiller has some really strong Jewish genes.

That’s funny. I too saw the movie somewhere down south and didn’t like it. That whole day, the whole week was a downer and the movie didn’t help–except for the dog scenes–but recently, I re-watched the last 3/4s and enjoyed it. The Farrely’s concoct scenes w/o retribution: eg., there are no after effects from the time in jail. Or from the hook in the mouth. So each scene can develop and any after effects may or may not have any influence on later scenes. That bothered me the first time I saw it, but not this time.

Hmm, I saw this movie in Myrtle Beach as well. I remember liking it (the movie…not my time in Myrtle Beach), although I was a little upset that my sister thought that Ben Stiller in high school looked like me in high school. I made my wife watch it recently, and I was struck by how much Ben Stiller looked like me in High School. My wife didn’t know me in high school, luckily.
