Unfortunately he gets into a really awkward accident, that involves a painful zipper experience, and therefore isn’t able to take Mary to the prom. Thirteen years later he realizes he still has a crush on Mary and decides to hire a detective to locate her. He wants to know if he still has a chance with her, before he can move on with his life. But it turns out there really is something about Mary. Basiccaly every guy she meets falls for her. | ||||||||

For those of you who haven’t given this movie a chance, hopefully this post will change your mind. The story about a man chasing his high school sweetheart may not be the most original, but the movie itself definitely is. The movie has so many comedic situations which are in fact really humorous. You could actually watch it several times and still laugh at the funny situations. What I liked so much about it, is the fact that it’s not just a sweet comedy. The humour used in this movie makes you laugh at things you would normally perhaps not laugh at. It is not sparing anyone, and for once in a while that is a welcome alternative.

This is one of those movies that never particularly appealed to me, but now that it’s a modern classic I should probably give it a chance. I couldn’t sit through American Pie…maybe this will be different.
I can still watch this movie and laugh.
One of my all time favs… Franks and beans….
This movie was a lot like Napoleon Dynamite for me in that the first time I saw it, I was kinda left with scratching my head and wondering what I missed that everyone else loved. In both cases, I gave the movie a 2nd chance and now they are both in my DVD drawer of “Keepers” - I agree. This movie was great!
A very funny movie, I watched it when it first came out and laughed until I cried. Still makes me laugh when I see it now.
I find Cameron Diaz to be a terrific comediene. Maybe because she is reported to be a rather ‘dumb’ model, who can’t follow simple directions in photoshoots. That’s a rumour circulating back then when she was still new in the movie industry. Apparently, the reports are quite unfair. She is a good actress, even venturing into movie production. This is perhaps not one of my favorite of Diaz’ films but she’s a beauty!
