She can come up with the perfect word - and dozens with the same meaning - at a moment's notice, but "normal" behavior eludes her. Take, for example, the fact that she lives with eccentric parents. Or her inability to engage in social intercourse without dropping a litany of twenty-dollar words and unleashing a tsunami of trivia. Then, there's the matter of her omnipresent fire-engine-red go-go boots. For Mary, nothing is typical, especially relationships. When she is set up on a blind date with handsome cable-news cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper), Mary thinks the chemistry is undeniable - that Steve is "the one."
