Return

Btw, just got back from seeing _Something about Mary_ with my clone, and it was more amusing than I expected. I'm not a Matt Dillon fan, nor a Diaz one, but both were good in this. The guy who plays Tucker (fake architect) is one of the newer funny guys I like.

I remain mystified at the Stiller following, and found his baffled character somewhat annoying after the first few minutes, but he was okay in the part.

The older woman and her dog were too good to be true, I can't tell you how many older women (and men) I saw in California and Florida who looked just like her when I lived in both places. That leather skin is hard to miss. And the scene where the dog flys out the window was hysterically funny. Full body cast.

Overall, I'd say it's been overrated, I expected something better (because of the raves), but it was enjoyable.

Btw, MsIt Jr's reaction? "That movie was weird, Mother. Everyone turned out to be fakes"
