zuguide.com Hal (Jack Black), a superficial male chauvinist, only dates beautiful women, partly based on the advice he received from his father just before his death.

Before long, Hal meets Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow), a ridiculously obese woman, who in Hal’s eyes is a perfect 10. Hal and Rosemary’s relationship goes perfectly until Mauricio (Jason Alexander), Hal’s macho best friend, points out the truth and attempts to undo the hypnosis. Directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly. With Joe Viterelli, Bruce McGill and Molly Shannon. Categories: Comedy, Romance. Year: 2001.

@xNatalie24x I watched this movie yesterday. It’s entertaining but I found it way to unrealistic. basically Hal was deceived into liking a fat girl who who he wouldn’t have gone with if he wasn’t seeing her as Gwenyth Paltrow. I’m sorry but there’s no way a man would go off into the sunset with the ugly fat girl in the end without feeling deceived. He still wouldn’t find her attractive. They should be encouraging obese women to exercise, not selling them fairy tales to appease their self pity.

@wrathpsp Have you ever loved anybody? Are you capable of loving?
wrathpsp says
@sleezing Yes and yes. Don’t you think he was deceived? I don’t hate overweight women, and I’m a very loving person. I just disagree with the messages in the film, or at least the methods used to get them across.

@wrathpsp “I’m sorry but there’s no way a man would go off into the sunset with the ugly fat girl in the end without feeling deceived. He still wouldn’t find her attractive.” Of course you don’t dislike overweight women by writing that, no no. -.-
You know, if you actually had felt so strong for somebody as “Hal” did, you would understand. In the end, it doesn’t matter how your loved one looks like. You love the PERSON, not only the shell.

Interesting trivia from IMDB:
“as part of research for her role as an obese woman in Shallow Hal (2001), wore the 200-pound latex “fat” suit she used for the film to a bar where people refused to make eye contact with her and treated her rudely. She said that this experience made her saddened by the injustice faced by overweight people in society.”

I’m glad I didn’t see the trailer first.
It shows a number of scenes that caught me by surprise. I don’t often laugh, but I sure did when I first saw Shallow Hal.
votumseparatum1 says
@mottledbrain True. I honestly hate watching trailers now because many movies show most of the action in the trailer. Usually because it isn’t all that great but Shallow Hal was pretty good.

ebonics4everyone says
I admit that I am shallow. I want to bone Gwen Paltrow. That being said, ideally beautiful men/women are vain and immoral and conceited while ugly (fat, giant noses, etc.) peeps are nicer and more modest. True there are a few exceptions to the rule. The trick is for the ugly to be satisfied w/ each other and develop self-esteem being what they are. It’s an inside job.
RangerJackWalker says
I hate the belief that all beautiful people are arrogant selfish jerks and the so called ugly people are kind generous, etc.
CardCaptorful says
yep… real beauty comes from inside
