How can you use “farrelly” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The movie is based on a terse, bleakly funny 1988 novel by Peter Farrelly, who, with his brother Bobby, wrote and directed Dumb and Dumber (1994) and There's Something About Mary (1998).
The Farrelly brothers' latest slapstick is said to hark back to the screwball romances of the 1940s: The Dumb & Dumber directors temper their repulsive humor--which includes gags about a mangled penis and the mentally retarded--with a touching love story.
That description is more bitter than anything in the film, but it does suggest how Farrelly kept life among the urban unwashed from crushing his soul: He cultivated a caustic sense of humor.
The movie might have been unbearably depressing if Old Man Dunphy had been the thug of Farrelly's novel.
