‘There's Something About Mary’ at AC

One of the funniest movies of the 20th century 'There's Something About Mary', will be screened at the American Centre at 6 pm on Tuesday, January 29.

Directed by the Farrelly brothers- Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly is a combination of romantic comedy and gross-out film and it stars Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, Chris Elliott, Lin Shaye, W. Earl Brown, Lee Evans and Jeffrey Tambor, with cameo appearances by football star Brett Favre (who plays himself), Sarah Silverman, Keith David, and Harland Williams.

An awkward and shy high-schooler, Ted (Ben Stiller) lands a prom date with his dream girl Mary (Cameron Diaz), just to have it cut short by a painfully humiliating zipper accident.

Thirteen years later he's still in love-maybe even obsessed-with the one that got away, so he hires sleazy private detective Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) to track her down living in Miami, only to have Pat fall for the irresistible Mary as well.

Ted and Pat resort to lying, cheating and stalking in their competition for Mary, and discover that they're not the only men who will use depraved measures to be near her. Released in 1998 by 20th Century Fox, the movie made $176 million in the U.S. alone and $369 million worldwide.
