ALT__TITLE

DISABILITY Learning Difficulty Limb braces

COUNTRY USA

LENGTH ?

GENRE Comedy

DIRECTOR Bobby & Peter Farrelly

CAST Cameron Diaz

Matt Dillon

Ben Stiller

Lee Evans

NOTES A romantic comedy in which much fun is had at the expense

of disabled people. Not just Mary's brother who has learning

difficulties. One would hardly expect less from they who

brought us "Dumb and Dumber" and "Kingpin". Not so funny

as one was led to expect. Lee Evans is excruciatingly bad as

Tucker who wears braces on his legs.

The Farrelly bros. have the same relation to comedy as

Abbott and Costello had to Laurel and Hardy.

The film continues to get accolades but I just can't agree.
