Shallow Hal
Hal Larsen is the ultimate shallow guy. Hal finds beauty only in supermodels and centrefolds. The first thing he looks for in a woman is looks. Hal won't even consider dating someone with a less-than-perfect body, smile and sense of style. But after an impromptu hypnosis by self-help guru Tony Robbins, Hal's view of woman makes a 180-degree turn; he now sees their true inner beauty. Enter Rosemary, an overweight Peace Corps volunteer. Hal, envisioning Rosemary's kindness and humour as female nirvana, is instantly smitten and an idyllic romance begins. When the spell is broken, Hal must now face unrecognisable Rosemary and learns one of life's most important lessons.

A movie that has its cake and eats it several times over, gorging on fat jokes and then adding a syrup of sentimentality to excuse them.

Jack Black Shallow Hal
Did laugh a few times. Not bad. Like jack black . Quite emotional at times. Funny. Education to people who judge other people by their looks. Great Movie.

Big fat laughs
A bit 'fatist' I think, but hilarious! If you like laughing at shallow idiots and big fat women, this is the film for you.

Unclear message but entertaining enough
The message is muddled (So good people look thin on the inside? So thin is good? Eh?) but its an enjoyable enough comedy if you take your brain out for a bit.

Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie Gulliver's Travels, he tells Access Hollywood, "I didn't bring my babies because they don't know I'm famous yet. I'm trying to keep it well-hid.
