There's Something About Mary
For Ted, prom night went about as bad as it’s possible for any night to go. Thirteen years later, he finally gets another chance with his old prom date, only to run up against other suitors including the sleazy detective he hired to find her.

Ted gets his scrotum stuck in zipper before prom
Ted still pines for Mary thirteen years later
The film jumps from the universally praised zipper scene to a more mundane setup period before building momentum again.
Critics consistently praise the Farrelly Brothers' signature shock comedy and Cameron Diaz's charming performance, with the zipper scene standing as an iconic moment. While some find the humor offensive or excessive, most reviewers appreciate the film's surprising heart and sweet romance beneath the crude exterior. The ensemble cast, particularly Matt Dillon's sleazy investigator, delivers effective performances that elevate the simple premise into memorable comedy.
