Such a frustrating disappointment

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

A shallow man falls in love with a 300 pound woman because of her "inner beauty". Despite being a comedy 'Shallow Hal' does in fact have some interesting messages to tell about love and how someone's heart is what matters instead of their face and their body, Jack Black is great as he always is in most of the films i have seen him in and Gwyneth Paltrow despite her dumb confension about her role she does a gret job as well. Overall a great mix of comedic and dramatic elements alongside a talented cast of actors. (A+)

I really enjoyed/still enjoy watching Shallow Hal. My father and I saw it together when it came out, he has since past (R.i.p. Dad 2008) So, I watch this movie and get 2 great experiences out of it. #1 laughing until you have a stomach ache,tears are rolling down my cheeks & my face face hurts. #2 reminds me of my dad and how much he loved the movie..at dinner my dad would always throw one-liners from the movie at you and your food would go flying out of your mouth from laughing so hard. Gweneth Paltrow plays a great role as a large woman in the movie. Jack Black is hilarious, he has a really big heart in the role he plays. I love Shallow Hal and I recommend anyone to watch Shallow Hal if you're having a good or bad day. Laughter is the best medicine and sitting on the couch watching Shallow Hal will bring you much laughter. Enjoy watching Shallow Hal and be ready for the belly laugh aches, tears rolling down your cheeks and face laughter pain. I love this meaningful comedy. 10☆

Shallow Hal is shallow and can't get a date. Hal's a nice guy but he's always going for girls out of his league. Hal cares too much about outward appearances and not enough for a woman's inner beauty. Well, meet Tony Robbins, and now Hal can see women for who they truly are, making their inner beauty appear as outer beauty, but only to Hal.Shallow Hal is hilarious! It's genuinely sweet & basically comedy genius, like is Jack Black. Jack Black graces us all with his comedy sweetness, and man he's got a lot of it, with some to spare! Jack is 2 funny & 2 cool that he should be put in jail. Thanks, Farrelly Brothers! You guys are way 2 cool 2. Shallow Hal's 1 of my favorite comedies that can be watched and rewatched like 100 times because it is so sweet & so funny & so not ungood.When Shallow Hal meets Rosemary Shallow Hal enters the realm of super awesomeness. God Gwyneth Paltrow is hot. I mean she looks incredible in this movie & I swear she's the hottest girl in the whole wide world. I love you. Gwyneth haters get real. Gwyneth Paltrow is way 2 hot & it's not even fair. She's super hot. Gwyneth Paltrow is the sexiest girl ever, she looks seriously hot in Shallow Hal and I think I love her.Great music. Farrelly Brothers did it.

From the posters and trailers, you'd expect the Farrelly Brothers to be crude and offensive with this kind of material but it really isn't. It has a much deeper message than it appears. It knows when to be funny and knows when to be serious. Why so many people disliked it and why critics panned it is totally beyond me!The movie is about a man named Hal, played by Jack Black, who judges women based on their looks. He keeps failing at it and his attractive neighbor, Jill, even turns him down after he begs her to go out with him. The next day at his job, he's bummed that he didn't get that big promotion and happens to bump into Tony Robbins in the elevator while leaving his work. They get stuck in the elevator and Hal explains him his love life. Robbins then puts a spell on him to see the inner beauty in women so that he can judge a woman based on her personality. Suddenly, things starts to change for Hal. His best friend Mauricio (played by Jason Alexander) notices Hal's fresh new standards with his taste in women and doesn't like it one bit. Hal then begins dating a woman who is overweight named Rosemary, played by Gwyneth Paltrow. He sees her as a beautiful, petite woman and they hit it off. Mauricio, who is much more picky with women and more shallow than Hal, can't believe it.That's the plot for you and I won't spoil anything, but let's just say that the story is predictable and the characters are memorable. I can't give the cast enough credit for doing such a wonderful job and it's interesting to see Jack Black like you've never seen him before, departing from his usual slacker/stoner role that he's given. Shallow Hal is a movie with a lot of brains and heart to it, as well as a great date movie. There's more to this movie than it appears, so watch it before you say negative things about it and you may be surprised!
