Comedy

There’s something about Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller) that reeks. Ted is the type of guy whose angst drives his psychiatrist out of the room… the type of guy whose family jewels get caught in his zipper the night of his senior prom. This unfortunate everyman may not be lucky in life, but he was once lucky in love. At seventeen, he met the girl of every man’s dreams, Mary Jensen (Cameron Diaz), who asked him to their senior prom in Rhode Island. She was a real babe, a gem of a girl, until his jewels short-circuited the romance. After school ended that year, she moved with her family to Florida, and Ted never saw her again.
But, there’s something about Mary that still bewitches Ted. At the insistence of his good friend Dom, he hires private eye Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) to track her down in Miami. Mary is even more beautiful than Ted recalls – Healy falls for her too, along with every man who lays eyes on her. Now Ted must prove that he’s the one worthy of Mary’s love.
