Cast: Chris Klein, Heather Graham, Orlando Jones, Sally Field, Richard Jenkins. Screenwriters: Peter Gaulke, Gerry Swallow. Producers: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, Garrett Grant, Bradley Thomas A Twentieth Century Fox release. If nothing, this movie proves that sticking your hand up a cow's ass doesn't automatically mean it's funny. The film contains several gross-out jokes, few of them deliver. Oh, I have no doubt that they could've worked with the proper timing and comedic sensibility-which is just about all it lacks I'm afraid. The Farrelly brothers produced this film, but one wonders how they felt about the results. They must have chuckled when reading the script, I have a hunch the material worked much better on paper than it did on film. They may not have been involved in the creative process, but they are nonetheless responsible for its failure. On the acting front, Klein is simply dreadful as Gil. He reminds one of a young Keanu Reeves--but even stiffer. Heather Graham has a strong screen presence, and she manages to generate more sympathy for the leads than would otherwise be warranted. Sally Field and Orlando Jones are irritating. Richard Jenkins actually does a good job as the crippled dad, but he is helpless against a poor script. My recommendation is to skip this thing and rent There's Something About Mary again. 3/10. [This message has been edited by Cyclonus (edited 12-26-2001).] |
