Shallow Hal
True Love Is Worth The Weight!
Directed by the guys who brought you There's Something About Mary and Me, Myself & Irene, this heavyweight hit comedy is "heartwarming and hilarious - an unbeatable combination!" (WFLD-TV)
Jack Black is Shallow Hal, a superficial skirt chaser who, after a mind altering experience with a self-help guru, doesn't realize that his gorgeous girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow) is actually a 300-pound not-so-hottie. Meanwhile, Hal's playboy pal Mauricio (Jason Alexander) is determined to break the spell before someone gets... squashed! Packed with loads of laughs and non stop fun, it's the biggest love story ever told!

Shallow Hal wants a gal - Silverthorn
Amazing dialogue, great acting, great story, has heart, great music, amazing direction. This is from the Farrelly Brothers who do a great job of telling a story with heart along with the quirkly comedy that they are used to doing.
The dialogue is very down-to-earth and relatable to the common person and that's why they flourish in this type of film. The colours in this film are amazing too. I recommend this film for the story alone and it's definitely a movie with a good theme and a pacing that you can watch over and over again and laugh your ass off!
Definitely check it out!!!!!Underrated - Cloudman
I'm not too sure why this film got such mediocre ratings. I think the chemistry between (no....not Paltrow and Black) Black and Alexander is fantastic. Very witty and probably more enjoyable on the second time around. It may not be the F. brothers or Jack Black's finest but still pretty damn funny regardless."Beauty inside is what counts". - movie_goer
Hal is a Surprise.
Excellent way to joke rather then mock the heavier side of people.
The movie followed 2 guys (Jack Black & Jason Alexander) who aren't beef cakes or near perfect are shallow about the opposite sex. When Blacks Hypnotised for the better good, he's fixated by the inner beauty of Gwenyth's character. Great comedy with a lesson at the end,i recommend for those who need a taste of reality!
