Romantic comedy is pretty tame for Farrelly Bros.
November 27, 2001
We've seen so many crummy comedies that try to be There's Something About Mary or something like this. And the Farrelly brothers come to the rescue and show us how it's done.

The film itself is little more than a series of fat jokes.

With the relatively untested Black coming on awfully strong, the lack of directorial finesse lets the enterprise down, creating some clunky scenes and dead air where laughs might have been expected.

Not only light on laughs but discomfitingly didactic in its disgust.

There's just about enough charm and laughs here to keep Farrelly fans happy. Even the fat ones.

Makes the case for restricting the Farrellys to mere gross-out movies.
