There's Something About Mary is an American film, released in 1998 by 20th Century Fox, directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly. A combination of romantic comedy and gross-out film, it stars Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, Chris Elliott, Lin Shaye, W. Earl Brown, Lee Evans and Jeffrey Tambor, with cameo appearances by Brett Favre (who plays himself), Sarah Silverman, Keith David, and Harland Williams.

This sleeper hit was the third-highest-grossing film of 1998 in North America—the highest-grossing comedy—and it catapulted Stiller into the limelight. Until Wedding Crashers was released in 2005, There's Something About Mary was the most successful youth-aimed R-rated comedy film at the box office.

There's Something About Mary was placed 27th in the American Film Institute's 100 Years, 100 Laughs: America's Funniest Movies (see the 100 Years Series), a list of the 100 funniest movies of the 20th century. In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted it the 4th greatest comedy film of all time. The film is number 4 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies".

The movie has made $176 million in the United States alone and $369 million worldwide.
