Cameron Diaz certainly deserved better than this lame female take on THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. The female characters were just as much jerks as the men with the exception of Thomas Jane (MAGNOLIA) as Diaz's object of desire. He manages to somewhat rise above this tired mess but he's only able to do so much. And the otherwise talented Selma Blair who was great in CRUEL INTENTIONS and LEGALLY BLONDE is just the butt of semen jokes and penis gags, the worst gag being when she has a guy's studded member stuck in her throat. And Christina Applegate (MARRIED...WITH CHILDREN) once again proves that she should stay on the small screen where she belongs. I have nothing against low-brow humor as long as it's funny. MARY was funny. AMERICAN PIE was funny. The SOUTH PARK movie was funny. This movie just lays there like a dull fart. Lame jokes, stall gags and even staler montages sends this crap down the crapper where it belong. You know a movie's in trouble when the movie's only funny line is when an old man says "f*** Grandma". Avoid this movie like the plague.
