This is a funny yet heartwarming movie, filled with great actors...I love it! Shallow Hal, encourages all of to take a good look at ourselves and ask, 'what are my values, how do others see me?' The ironic lead characters are in themselves great people with minor flaws, and by means of a little 'soul searching' they realize that they belong together. It's great, but not necessarily a family movie due to language and some sexual content.
This movie delivers a very age old message- that TRUE beauty lies within- in a very UNIQUE way. It also contains some interesting extras, including info. on the making of the movie (how they transformed Gweneth Paltrow into an overweight Rosemary), commentary from Paltrow about how she felt she was treated differently by others when she was made up as Rosemary and deleted scenes from the movie(including a few that are actually worth watching). Hal (Jack Black) is a regular guy, who is not successful with women because he is shallow- he only wants to be with women who look like supermodels (out of his league). Then one day he gets stuck in an elevator with Tony Robbins (THE motivational speaker). Robbins hypnotizes Hal so that can see a person's inner beauty on the outside, which has the effect of making women that most might see as physically unattractive appear very beautiful in his eyes. Therefore, when Hal meets Rosemary, a very kind-hearted person, he does not see what other people see (a 300 pound woman), he sees a woman that looks like Gweneth Paltrow and he falls in love with her. When Hal finally realizes what has happened (the hypnosis) he must decide what is more important- outside appearances, or true love. **NOTE- I was concerned before I watched this movie that it might make fun of people who are overweight. I did not find this to be the case- although this movie is DEFINITELY a comedy, I do not believe the humor is presented in a way that exploits Rosemary's weight. In contrast, I think that most of the humor is directed toward Hal (and his shallow attitude). HOWEVER, I can still see how SOME people might be offended or embarrassed by the issue of weight, as presented in this movie... Just something to keep in mind, if you are bothered by these kids of topics...Read full review
It's a good movie.
