There's Something About Mary is a romantic comedy that follows the lovesick journey of Ted Stroehmann, played by Ben Stiller.

Ted wants Pat to keep him updated on Mary's love life, while secretly hoping she'll remain single. Little does he know, Mary's got a life that's as chaotic and hilarious as it is charming.
