The worldwide premiere for There's Something About Mary shook the rafters of Westwood California's Fox Movie Theater on Thursday, July 9th. All of the cast was on hand, to laugh and celebrate, and were joined by other stars including Anthony Kiedas, Seal, Woody Harrelson and Penny Marshall.

A party was held after the screening of the film. The theme was a state fair, reminiscent of the scene in the film when Pat takes Mary to a fair and they discover they have much in common (or so Mary thinks). Guests were able to play games such as toss the bean bag into the unzipped pants, knock down the Puffy-in-a-Cast dolls, and a chance to drive a few golf balls at a mini range. All the while, the band played the greatest hits from the 80's.

Great food and drink were served, including a frozen Margarita bar that Magda would be proud of. Guests danced, drank, ate, and mingled until late in the evening and left with a bag of goodies, including "There's Something About Mary Hair Gel," another quality 100% organic hand-made product from the Farrelly brothers.
