weird but very funny; great ending

This movie was definitely "different," but I thought it was hilarious. Mary was extremely geeky (I've never seen the SNL skit so I was not familiar with her) and even gross sometimes, which was sort of annoying and made it hard to like her, but it also made me laugh my head off. I did think the ending was very sweet, mainly because I liked Slater. I thought all along that Slater was a really neat character, especially when we found out who he was, and that he was a sweet guy. I also liked the grandmother (I can't believe she played in Mary Poppins -- that's so neat!).
