Title: This could have been a GREAT movie instead of just very good
Review: I laughed as hard as anyone else when I first saw this film, so hard that at first I was able to overlook what was missing. Only later did I realize where the movie missed its mark; there was very little social commentary, an error makes the movie merely fluff instead of one of the best comedies of all time.Let's face it. Every single one of Mary's suitors is a stalker. At a time where sound bites are confused with political leadership and "Titanic" confused with entertainment, this film could have made a powerful point on the confusion between love and obsession without sacrificing its hilarious, tasteless humor.It's so rare, however, for a movie to consciously cross every bound of good taste and do so with a good heart and a broad audience appeal. You *will* laugh out loud, but you'll also wish the movie had had the courage to go that last step.
