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-shriveled 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
