dir: Bobby Farrelly & Peter Farrelly
cast: Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, Ben Stiller, Lee Evans, Chris Elliott, Lin Shaye
studio: 20th Century Fox

Mary is the girl of every boy's dreams, and Ted can't get her off his mind, even thirteen years after high school, so he goes in search of her, only to discover that he's not the only male to have been so enamored with her.

This movie was rather funny at times, and they did a wonderful job at keeping Mary "perfect."

I am not too crazy about Ben Stiller movies...I find that he's often a bit over the top, though for most of this he was fairly decent. What was the purpose of the homosexuals in the rest-stop scene, or for Ted being arrested for murder? This seemed like it was getting quite a bit off track simply for a laugh or two. They did nothing to further the plot, or even character development.

This was not a good movie for a "first date," unless you don't mind penis humor, masterbation humor, or ejaculate humor.

I'm glad I watched it ... I got a kick out of it ... but more glad that I Netflixed it, rather than owning it.
