My Take
I have a real soft spot for Bobby Farrelly. A former ice hockey player from Cumberland, Rhode Island, who went to an engineering school on a hockey scholarship and, with his brother Peter, mass-produced some of the most cheerfully crude comedies ever made: Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal. People dismiss gross-out humor, but making an audience laugh is genuinely hard engineering, and I suspect his technical mind helped construct those gags. There's also unexpected heart in Farrelly films beneath the silliness. Anyone who can make the whole world laugh on the strength of pure comic instinct has my respect.
