Here are some customer reviews of Shallow Hal : Shallow Hal, how shallower can this man get. He only likes the nockout women, not the larger ones which he is dating. To him she is tiny but to the whole world besides him she is more like three times his size. This was s great movie, hilarous, i recomend no children under thirteen. To the older children and parents i believe you will love this movie. Well off i go to see it again. I really liked this movie. And I admit, I had low expectations. Hal is a shallow man, but who is otherwise good, who is obsessed with obtaining a girlfriend with a 'perfect' figure. What he doesn't realize, is that by judging people by appearences he is in fact, preventing himself from meeting a lot of great people who are emotionally beautiful. A self help guru, realizes this, and hypnotizes HAL to see everyone for their 'inner beauty.' I really LOVED this movie. Especially the scenes when Hal meets the Peace Corps group, (thinking they are handsome). And Gwyneth's family. Gwyneth is very convincing as a character, very emotive and I love her facial expressions. Very cute, and romantic. This movie was hilarious. If you enjoyed dumb and dumber, kingpin, there's something about mary, or me, myself, and irene, you'll love this movie. Don't listen to people who base their opinion of the movie just on the trailer. That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard. If you actually saw the movie before reviewing it, then you'd know that it actually has a good message and provides an couple of hours of pure entertainment. Shallow Hal isn't the funniest thing on Earth, but ut does have it's moments. The acting by Gwenyth Paltrow and Jack Black is great, and the plot is original. There are a few twists, and it was entertaining to see how Hal overcame several problems- many of them years old. Hal is a man who only like beautiful women, no matter what their personality is. Then he's hypnotised to only see women what they're like on the inside, leading to some hilarious moments. Shallow Hal has a great message about not caring what people look like, just about how they act and what they do. Definitely worth renting. MY GRADE: B+ I'm confused... If the movie is about questioning the stereotypes of beauty, then why is the picture of beauty - even when it's inner - thin, blonde, beautiful(according to the stereotype) Gwyneth? So the message the audience gets is: Gwyneth is hot. The fat suit is not. It is the body underneath that sells tickets. What Hal falls in love with is the body underneath. And that body is still an unrealistic stereotype. Good try, but the Farrelly brothers totally missed the point.
