This movie is typical of the raunchy comedy you can expect from Bobby & Peter Farrelly. Perhaps I haven't seen enough of their movies to make an adequate judgment, but I didn't notice anything "missing vibes" from it. There are a few surprises in it however, that could make you ask questions beginning with "Who Knew?":

Who knew Orlando Jones could be cool? If you saw his 7-Up commercials you wouldn't think he was. For the record, his character was not Jimi Hendrix, or his ghost, or some nut who thought he was Hendrix.

Who knew Sally Field could pass herself off as a villainess, and a comical one at that? Fans who like her best during her Gidget/Flying Nun years will be just as surprised as those who praise her for Sybil, Norma Rae, Places in the Heart, and similar TV-Movies & tear-jerkers.

Who knew the Farrelly Brothers would make a woman suffer so much heartbreak? In There's Something About Mary, we have Ben Stiller sobbing it up over the presumed loss of his object of desire. Here we have Heather Graham doing the same thing over a man she loves, but still believes is her brother.

Who knew an otherwise sugar sweet poem would be used as a weapon on any pets spending their final moments on earth? There's the scene where Chris Kline recites the poem he uses for abandoned animals he's about to exterminate for Heather Graham. I don't care how beautiful she thought it was, if I were any of those animals I'd be as scared of that poem as I would of the idea of being killed on the expiration date.

Anyway, this movie has a lot of sleaze, a lot of heart, and a lot of surprises. If you're not the uptight prim and proper-type, check it out.

Bottom line, this movie is not funny. The story is satisfactory enough, but I didn't laugh once during this film. There are plenty of gross-out gags just like in "Something About Mary" and "Kingpin", but in this film they seem just thrown in for no reason. And Heather Graham does a terrible acting job like she does in most movies. This isn't even a "so bad it's good", it is just boring. Avoid.

If nothing, this movie proves that sticking your hand up a cow's behind doesn't automatically mean it's funny. The film contains several gross-out jokes, few of them deliver. Oh, I have no doubt that they could've worked with the proper timing and comedic sensibility-which is just about all it lacks I'm afraid.

The Farrelly brothers produced this film, but one wonders how they felt about the results. They must have chuckled when reading the script, I have a hunch the material worked much better on paper than it did on film. They may not have been involved in the creative process, but they are nonetheless responsible for its failure.

On the acting front, Klein is simply dreadful as Gil. He reminds one of a young Keanu Reeves--but even stiffer. Heather Graham has a strong screen presence, and she manages to generate more sympathy for the leads than would otherwise be warranted. Sally Field and Orlando Jones are irritating. Richard Jenkins actually does a good job as the crippled dad, but he is helpless against a poor script.

My recommendation is to skip this thing and rent "There's Something About Mary" again.

*1/2 (out of ****)

Released by Twentieth Century Fox

Poor Sally Field-she became America's sweetheart (you really like me) and ended up in THIS. A low brow, over the top, not so funny comedy with Heather Graham.

The film is painfully unfunny at times. I found my face frozen in a state that would indicate that I just smelled something bad. There are a FEW funny moments but they are nothing original or well thought out. Any kid in junior high could have come up with this stuff. There were a few scenes that were entertaining and I think I laughed out loud about 3 times. The rest? It is tired, very tired and the actors are trying real hard to get the laughs. But without funny material they can't pull it off.

Some of these actors have done some great stuff in the past but this is something they'll want to forget. In the mood for laughs? You can do better than this!!

I laughed a couple times in this movie. That's all I can say really. Say It Isn't So is a byproduct of all the gross-out, silly, ridiculous romcoms that were popular in the early 2000s and this one doesn't differentiate itself from the pack at all. It sometimes pushes the boundaries of, "Wait, is this offensive or funny?" But even then, that doesn't even matter if the end product is actually funny, which it isn't. There are a couple chuckle-worthy moments, but they are so few and far between it's not even worth subjecting yourself to the entire 80 or so minutes of idiocy.

Acting wise, it's hard to complain. Heather Graham is great as the affable, bubbly girl and Chris Klein is passable as the cheesy, romantic guy. I'd say he's bad in the movie but the dialogue itself is so dumb I can't even fault him for it. The real standout is Richard Jenkins as Graham's father who is paralyzed and speaks in a robot voice most of the time. His character is where most of the laughs come from. Everyone else is serviceable, given the material at least.

There are hints of incest, bodily humor, gross-out gags, and the like. Some of it works, most of it doesn't. Overall though, Say It Isn't So is a swing and a miss.

When I first found out about this title I first observed the reviews, and surprisingly they were unsatisfactory and negative, and along with that the movie had a bad Meta-score with top news outlets speak of bad, lacklustre comedy but if you look past the 25 Meta-score and view the movie as a witty, cheesy comedy made by the all time favourite brothers you'll soon like it. So many people view the movie in a way that isn't, and to say it isn't so, just watch it with the mind set that it's a comedy and nothing else.

This is another attempt by current filmmakers to use shock humor and disgusting themes to get the american people to stop thinking. Exagerated characters, lewd sexual deviance, and farcical plot make this movie an utter waste of time. Rent "Animal House" or "Kentucky Fried Movie" for some real decent mindless humor.

First of all, I was disappointed that the Farrellys didn't take the director's seat on this one. I hate when previews mislead you like that. Nine times out of ten, when you hear the announcer in a trailer say, "from horror master Wes Craven" or something of that sort, it means the well-known director is a producer or executive producer in the project, like in this case. But it still has that Farrelly vibe, since J.B. Rogers worked as the A.D. in their previous works.

The movie gets off to a slow start. The gags start off pretty lame. And most of the funny parts shown were given away in the previews. We're handed a lot of quirks, but the comedy doesn't quite gel. We have Richard Jenkins as a wheelchair-bound father, who uses excessive profanity through a voice-box. So far, we're pushing the envelope, but the laughs haven't entirely arrived. I have to admit, though, the nipple-piercing scene was very funny. Luckily, that scene wasn't completely given away in the trailers, because quite frankly--it couldn't be shown on network television.

The film speeds up the comedy with the arrival of Orlando Jones as a pilot with artificial legs and a Jimmi Hendrix hairdo. For some reason, the Farrellys have an obsession with handicapped characters. Jones is very funny, and brings in the film's biggest laughs.

I also think we wander into one-joke territory one time too many. OK, the guy banged his sister. It was funny at first. How many times do we have to hear it repeated in the next gag...and the gag after that...and the gag after that? But the gags improve as we go along, and I got more and more laughs. By the last thirty minutes, I was laughing myself silly! So I wouldn't say this comedy is anywhere near as bad as most people said it was.

"Say It Isn't So" isn't the best comedy of the year, but it often delivers. And it's one of the few comedies that gets funnier as it goes along, rather than starting off with a bang and dragging on as it progresses.

My score: 7 (out of 10)

I am not sure how I missed this movie from the early 2000's, especially since Chris Klein is in it and I love him in the American Pie movies. This movie is a silly/dumb comedy ,but really had me laughing. It reminds me of Joe Dirt. Overall good acting and many laughs from me. I am not sure how it has such a low score. Good soundtrack in it too!There are many goofy and predictable parts in this movie, but fits in very well with comedies from the 2000's. I am a 30-year-old female, so I feel as if this movie can be a good choice for a variety of ages and male or female. If you are looking for a light hearted, slightly inappropriate comedy , than look no further and give this one a chance. It's a must see and deserves a higher score.

It's so bad. The acting, the story, the music. It almost comes off as a parody. It so bad.

I found this movie funnier than I expected. Chris Klein and Heather Graham are adequate in the leads, and Klein's character finds himself falling in love with Graham's. When he finds out they might actually be brother and sister, they have to call it off. A while later, Klein learns that it is all a big mistake, but by this time Graham is engaged to marry another man. Klein then sets out to try to break up that wedding, getting into one jam after another, including a mental hospital, prison, and several fights with the redneck townsfolk.

If you can excuse mild raunchiness and an occassional painful-looking moment, you might like this one.

*** out of ****

Say It isn't so is the worst Farrelly Brothers movie ever, None of the characters put any energy into there roles (except for Orlando Jones), Its a very slow pacing movie (Its an Hour and a Half but it feels like its more than 2 hours long) and lots of the Jokes are more Gross and Mean than Funny. Like instead of laughing when Heather Graham cuts Off Chris Klein's ear you cringe because you see the scissors cut through the flesh. Thats Not funny. or when Chris Klein starts punching a cow and accidently gets his arm stuck up a Cows rear end would have been funnier if Chris Klein's character wasn't so stupid to do such a thing like Punch a Cow in the Butt and you can totally predict that he's going to get his arm stuck in there and it would be funnier if the Cows start running and he gets dragged along, But No the Cows just act like nothing has happened and they just start walking and Chris Klein gets Humiliated by everyone in Town. One of the Only funny jokes in the movie is The ending But I won't give that away... so to sum it all up, this movie is only good for a laugh or two But Not a really good way to spend an Hour and a Half.

Say It isn't so:

*Pros* -Funny Twist Ending -Good performance by Orlando Jones

*Cons* -VERY SLOW PACING -No energy or heart put into it -Jokes start to get really old -some jokes more gross than funny -characters are all stupid and forgettable

I rate it 4.5/10

If you are looking for something very funny this movie is worth the time. Don't be turned off by the overall low rating. This movie is very lighthearted fun and that's all it tries to be. It's biggest problem is some poor story line editing. The story line could have been streamlined to avoid some bumps. Chris Klein is is Chris Klein ... meaning he is the same character that he's always been in movies such as Election and American Pie. Personally I like this character. Heather Graham's acting was weak. I don't know if it was her script or just her approach to the character. She was unimpressive. I just don't think she was cut out for this role. However Sally Field was fantastic as usual. Her skills greatly added to this movie and really made up for Ms. Grahams weak performance. Orlando Jones was great as was Richard Jenkins.

The bottom line here is that this movie is funny and worth watching if that's what you are seeking. Its two main flaws are the editing and Heather Grahams performance or casting. If they could have improved those two things I think this movie could have been as high as an 8.

Nothing new we haven't seen yet, was the first thought that went through my head after seeing it. No big laughters nor extremely original parts that would have made me to put my thumb up and to say: "how do they come up with that stuff." No very clearly portrayed irony over anyone neither, just few average cow-rear jokes that wont change the world in any way anymore. Mass production made on a conveyor line, it can be described most accurately.Hollywood-America-MEDC loves this stuff. Am I not right? Heather Graham who hasn't ever shined with the picking of well made scripts to play in, just got to wrote in another 6 digit money. But surely "The world" needs this kind of stuff. Regrets from me. 3 out of 10

When was the last time you saw a funny film? I'm old school, Pink Panther, Monty Python and more British type obscure humour. I have to say in maybe the last possibly even 20 years there's been very few films that have made me laugh.

This is a good film people, I don't see why it rated so lowly. Yes, a couple of scenes are fairly gross, but the shock value is brilliantly done, something I can't say for American films usually. Sufficed to say this movie is not for children.

The characters are brilliant, the central love story boy and girl are small town USA naive; "Dig" (Orlando Jones), is mind blowingly crazy. The girls father is clever, maybe a little over done. Sally Field is terrifically awful, you can't fault her performance, but maybe they would have done better with an unknown, sorry to say she seems to drag the film down. Her eventual downfall isn't very satisfying, because you've already seen it. Something that seems to get missed these days is character development, but somehow in this film the characters are strong and you feel for the leads.

I think you have to be in a certain mood for this film and understand that you are looking at 2 very naive / simple people and the world around them is very judgmental of them in a bad way and if they just had each other that love would keep them happy.

A love story that will make you cry, some wacky characters and freak me out shock laughs, some weak points, and a surprisingly funny American film, which is a rare thing. Watch it!

this movie is a typical teen chick flick. Some funny scenes though nothing that hasn't been down before. if you are forced to watch it(and you are male) take a drink during this film..this will allow you to have toilet breaks in between. if your female, do not inflict your boyfriends, husbands or partners to endure this torture.

Though i do have to say, it is funny, though the story is 50/50.

This was a nice silly movie that had a few laughs and brought me back to the gold old days of the 00s the story was new easy to follow nice cast I happen to really like the guy from American pie and heather graham she's pretty and a great actress also was pretty good in the spy who shagged me the only actress i really really really really didn't like was sally field she over acted so much that it got very irritating Orlando Jones was the funniest as the amputee all the jokes landed right and it had a very nice ending being cure and vulgar didn't take away from it anyone who wants a silly but light hearten movie to watch take a look at this it nothing special but you will end happy

A guy meeting a girl, having sex with her... and then finds out she's really his sister. I smell Farellies at work!

The girl is Josephine (Heather Graham), who after this great shock leaves town to marry cocky millionaire Jack (Ediie Cibrian). But then (too soon in the movie!) Gilbert (Chris Klein) finds out they aren't related after all, and sets out to tell her that. Easier said than done...

Crude humour doesn't always work in this comedy, although there were some pretty funny scenes, in particular those including the crippled Dig (Orlando Jones). You also gotta love father Walter (a great Richard Jenkins). He's funny as hell.

But overall the movie will be forgotten by most viewers (and I'm one of them). Nothing to get too excited about. 4/10.
