There's Something About Mary (1998)

Information at Internet Movie Database

Review, Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Health - Spiritual Practices for Human Being.

Themes

Integrity

It's like in the move that was released a year or so where everyone is pretending to be someone that they are not to win Mary's affections. You've got the Private Investigator who pretends to be an architect, the pizza delivery boy who pretends to be an intellectual on crutches, the high school friend who pretends to have "bumped" into her 20 years later, you know about the only one who isn't pretending to be something in the movie is quarterback Brent Farve, unless you consider the fact that he's pretending to be an actor, which, clearly he is not... (Steven W. Buchele)

Sermon on the Mount

The final scene in which all of the stalkers are in Mary's apartment and are arguing over who loves her more, when Ted responds by saying that none of them are really in love with Mary, but that they love the way she makes them feel. I feel that this is a good example of Jesus' words: "You are the salt of the earth. . . You are the light of the world." (Matt. 5:13-16) This is all the more transparent when earlier scenes of her giving and showing love for others. (Steve Willey)
