    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film marks the twentieth anniversary of Ben Stiller and Jerry Stiller working in a film together. Their first appearance was in the John Cusack comedy-adventure Hot Pursuit (1987), in which they played father and son villains.
    • Goofs
      When the couple is leaving on their honeymoon, they drive along I580 by the Altamont Pass Wind Farm. The direction they are traveling would take them back into San Francisco.
    • Quotes

      Mac: Look, you want to know the secret to a happy marriage? Do what I do. Plaster on a fake smile, plow through the next half century, sit back, relax, and wait for the sweet embrace of death!

    • Crazy credits
      After the completion of the end credits, there is a scene showing Eddie Cantrow's (Ben Stiller) bunkmate at camp saying good night and then snorting cocaine (in reference to the deviated septum scene in the film).
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove a strong visual sex reference, sight of a donkey's erect penis in close proximity to a woman, in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.

    It's no "Something about Mary"

    The horrible crude scenes leave a bad taste and overshadow any funny scenes. I think the Farrelly Brothers wanted to recapture the success of "There's Something About Mary" -- but they've flopped hard.

    The universe of "Mary" was completely wacky and any naughty parts just fit into that universe. This one feels like there were too many screenwriters tinkering with it. (5 are listed). Someone wrote a mainstream romantic comedy script -- then someone else (The Brothers, I'm guessing) came along and just stuck in gross shocking bits.

    It's very uneven. It loses steam in the third act. Has a very unsatisfying and unpleasant ending. Carlos Mencia is obnoxious. Ben is looking too old to be playing these parts. Meanwhile, the girls still look 25.
