Plot.
The Farrelly Brothers set this romantic comedy in their home state of Rhode Island.
In 1985, when teen-nerd Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller) challenges a high-schooler
who's bullying retarded Warren Jenson (W. Earl Brown), his concern prompts Warren's
sister, the dazzling and desirable Mary Jenson (Cameron Diaz) to choose Ted as her
senior prom date, a fact Ted's pals find hard to believe. However, on prom night,
Ted gets his penis caught in his zipper, so the much-desired date never happens.
Living in Providence and waxing nostalgic 13 years later, Ted hires Pat Healy (Matt
Dillon) to locate Mary, and the creepy private investigator finds her in Miami,
where she lives with her tan-shrivelled roommate Magda (Lin Shaye). After Pat
develops a stalker-style fixation on the lovely, unattached Mary, he lies to Ted,
telling him that she's now an overweight mother confined to a wheelchair. Employing
professional eavesdropping equipment, Pat gathers a dossier on Mary's life and
future plans, information that forms the basis for more lies when Pat begins dating
her. Sure enough, Mary falls for Pat, although her friend Tucker (Lee Evans) is
very suspicious of Pat's claim to be a Harvard-educated architect. Meanwhile, Ted
learns the truth but continues to encounter offbeat obstacles as he accelerates to
Miami in hopes of finding happiness with his true love. Former Modern Lovers singer
Jonathan Richman vocalises a narrative ballad of onscreen commentary in the Cat
Ballou (1965) tradition. Most of the cast sings and frolics to Build Me Up,
Buttercup by The Foundations during the closing credits. Without doubt some of the
funniest moments in modern cinematics
