Mary is a bubbly, beautiful, and kindhearted young woman, who seems to turn all the men who meet her into obsessive stalkers. This hit comedy by the Farrelly brothers is famous for its few gross-out moments, but ultimately it's a funny, charming, and quite conservative romantic comedy, which unfortunately goes on too long. Cameron Diaz gives a delightful lead performance.
