Brett Favererer-A Foreshadowing of His Legacy

Hey all,

First, let me start by saying thanks to all the support and feedback you gave us on our first entries. This is something James and I are excited about and we hope it will take off (So…. Spread the word)! I hope you enjoyed our introductions and movies.

James recently posted a review on the new movie Wolfman. He was extremely let down by the movie to say the least. However, I told him although it was a bad Werewolf movie, there are definitely worse. The sad thing is, I actually own Teen Wolf Too (You’ll find out pretty quick, if it’s cheap enough, I’ll buy anything). In my defense, the only reason I splurged ‘5 bones’ on this movie is because it was a combo pack that included the original Teen Wolf, which is Michael J. Fox at his finest. But, enough about Werewolf’s….


Random movie quote of the entry:

If O.J. can get away with murder, why can’t Sonny have his kid? This guy knows what I’m talking about.


After spending countless hours reading through all of your e-mails (We got one total), I have decided to use this post to give a Movie Review Request from my eyes, the Clawview (the only way to see a movie). The request was for what my thoughts are on There’s Something About Mary. Please note, I will not be giving ANY spoiler alerts in this post. This movie is twelve years old. If you haven’t seen it yet (James), it’s time you start doing something with your life. This was a review I couldn’t do by memory. Therefore, I had to re-watch the film which I didn’t mind (Like I have better things to do with my time).

TSAM is an enjoyable comedy in which Ben Stiller does a great job playing his part (It should be noted, however, that this movie is Ben Stiller at his finest. Perkis Power baby!). The movie starts out with Ben Stiller falling in love with Cameron Diaz in High school. Basically, they are supposed to go to prom, but due to an unfortunate bathroom incident (We got a bleeder!) they don’t get to go. She moved away and he never saw her again. Many years later, Stiller hires Matt Dillon (aka big tooth) to search out Mary and see what she is up to (I have yet to resort to his creepy ways).Dillon does a little recon on this Mary chick and finds out she’s a hottie (I mean, it’s Cameron Diaz). Basically, for the rest of the movie you have a variety of people chasing after Mary and they all plot to set each other up and screw one another over. There is even a cameo from the one and only Brett Favre (if you don’t know much about Brett, tune into ESPN anytime of the day and they are talking about him. Hang on, just turned on ESPN. This just in Brett Favre has retired. Wait, wait, wait, he’s back. No he’s not. Wait, he is. Ahhhhh, gotta’ love what he does for football!). Who would have known that this movie would be a foreshadowing of how Favre would finish out his football career. Favre gets ran off by Mary due to being set-up by Tucker (a fraud also after Mary). Just when you think he’s out of the picture and done with her, BOOM he comes back (Packers, Jets, and Vikings fans know all about this). There is actually a rumor that a There’s Something About Mary 2 is in the works, but they are waiting on a commitment from Brett. He’s in, he’s out, he’s in he’s out… Make up your damn mind already! In the end after the long battle, Ted (Ben Stiller) gets the girl. AWWWWWW what a happy ending!

In my eyes, this comedy is an instant classic. It has a great cast, a humorous, out of the ordinary love story, a sports icon cameo, all sorts of one liners, and a scene that pushed the limits beyond its years (Is that hair gel?) All this time I never noticed, but one must question whose “hair gel” is Rihanna borrowing these days? I understand they are pushing the limit like crazy these days in comedies with things like showing girls crowning (Wait.. Wait.. your special place down there does WHAT?), Jason Segal in his birthday suit, and the stereotyping of Asian male genitala. However, you have to appreciate TSAM because it is well before its time when it comes to pushing the limit. In this movie, you have an unfortunate zipper accident (OWWIE), Some saggy old boobs, and of course Ted’s special sauce. In closing, it is important to recognize There’s Something About Mary for how funny it truly is and give credit where credit is due. This movie was a pioneer in the “groaner” scene movement and I thank the Farrely Brothers for that.

If you are a fan of Build Me Up Buttercup, please take a minute to watch one of the best closing credit scenes EVER!
