After taking his dying father's advice, Hal dates only the embodiments of female physical perfection. But that all changes after Hal has an unexpected run-in with self-help guru Tony Robbins. Intrigued by Hal's shallowness, Robbins hypnotizes him into seeing the beauty that exists even in the least physically appealing women. Hal soon falls for Rosemary, but he doesn't realize that his gorgeous girlfriend is actually a 300-pound-not-so-hottie.

One of the funniest movies I have watched with a good message to see what's on the inside of people rather than the outside.

I mean, it's not perfect or oscar-worthy but it's definitely entertaining and cute to watch.

it's a clear and loud massage here. beauty is just what the heart wants and it's not a body, it's another heart that matches yours. now ,in this time, we seem to have the same beauty standard ,but isn't that... kinda bad? it's like you are forced to eat chocolate just because your buddies like chocolate even if it's bad for your specific heath. anyway... when it was the Candace scene , when her face is revealed I got . . heartbroken so bad he said those beautiful things to her just based on what he was seeing with the "hypnosis turned on " and he played with her like with a "normal kid". now what was on my mind was seeing him seeing her for the first time being the real thing... damn! I was like " now?.. what ? she's not pretty anymore... she's a little girl... she deserves all the love"

This movie would never be allowed to release in today's world, but it was a hit when it came out in 2001, and it's because it really is More

***Fun romcom with a worthy message***

A shallow man (Jack Black) from Charlotte, North Carolina, falls in love with a 300 lb. woman (Gwyneth Paltrow) after Tony Robbins enables him to see inner merit. Jason Alexander is on hand as his best friend.

“Shallow Hal” (2001) is a romcom that’s More

Really good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

Now, I'm honestly not the biggest fans of this cast: Jack Black, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jason Alexander, but that's not to discredit their acting abilities, and I don't just limit that to these performances as everyone did a great job.
