Naturally, the first of its kind, it is very funny.
Ted Stroehmann had a slight accident requiring Magda (Lin Shay) to do a little triage. This messes up his prom night with Mary Jensen. Mary is in the last scene, moving to Florida. Years later, he decides to rectify this. Ted hires a detective, Pat Healy (Matt Dillon), to find Mary. The report is disappointing; however, he still pursues her and, in the process, has some interesting experiences. Some will make your hair stand on end. Soon he finds that there is not a clear track, as he is one of many admirers.
Will Ted and Mary get together?
Will they want to?
And what about Pat, who fell in love also?
Cameron, a blue-eyed natural blonde from California, had already been in ten movies, so she was well known at the time of this movie. The script and part fit her well. Off-screen, she has a sense of humor and could appreciate the sight gags.
Ben Stiller has been in several films before and since he always plays the same character. He has been pigeonholed as a sort of modern-day bathroom-humor slapstick.
