While it is not a complete ripoff of the Hollywood blockbuster from Farrelly brothers (There is Something about Mary), it is largely based on it. The whole Ompuri/Magic formula angle does not work and is totally unnecessary. However the biggest annoyance is Vivek Oberoi popping in and out at the narrator (played by the Farrelly brothers themselves in the original). Similar material would have been gold in Priyadarshan's hand. Akshay and Paresh Rawal are the only performers of any notice in the movie, rest of the cast is poor to average in terms of performance. Shahid Kapur was particularly disappointing playing the role Ben Stiller played in the original, no laughs for him at all!! Anu Malik is no longer the music director he once was a decade or so ago, he has not delivered a knockout soundtrack in ages. Overall it might be best to re-watch the original; a definite miss for everyone who is not a hard-core Akshay Kumar/Paresh Rawal comedy fan.

One of the horrible movie I have ever watched. I saw this movie in Mumbai, my last ever picture in Mumbai. I paid Rs. 200/- to watch the movie and the movie wasn't worth 25/- even.Akshay hams too much in the movie so are Sunil, Paresh & all others. The only saving grace of the movie was Rimi Sen who was fresh out from Dhoom then. She certainly is improving film after film. She was good in Hungama. She plays the same kind of role. In Hungama there were two guys after her. In this movie, there are seven characters who are after her. I don't want to waste my time writing review of the movie coz there is no story altogether.A must skip.

I would say Paresh Rawal repeated his acts from Awara Pagal Dewana.Best performance in the movie was by Vijay Raz I think. Johnny Lever after a long time was not given much scope. Akshay Kumar was 1st rate in comedy. I have not watched SOMETHING ABOUT MARRY but everyone told me that the story of this flick is lifted from that Hollywood Movie. Which is nothing new. Vikram Bhatt's Awaara Pagal Dewana was also inspired from Hollywood's "The Whole 9 Yards". Still I liked it. Garam Masala and this cannot be compared as Priyadarshan makes Comedies on error. Which is lovely style in Bollywood. Vikram Bhatt did well but Songs were Just about OK. Anu Malik's singing is not what i look forward to.

Well I must say I quite enjoyed the movie even though I was expecting it to be another one of those boring comedies with the same story line. Well the movie is a rip-off of There's Something About Mary. The whole plot and characters are similar. So I give it very low points for originality. But I have to admit, that although the storyline was not original, the jokes fitted into the story were pretty hilarious. Akshay Kumar has returned back to some really good acting after a terrible mess in Garam Masala. Paresh Rawal is well used in this film, along with some pretty good scenes from Sunil Shetty, Johnny Lever and other members of the film.I enjoyed it much much more than Garam Masala, and it really won't be a BIG waste of time if you go watch it. I'd recommend it if you really have the time. It is entertaining.
