Shallow Hal wants a gal.

Hal Larsen (Jack Black) only ever dates beautiful trophy women on account of advice he received on his death bed from his father. However, a chance meeting with a self-help guru helps him to see inner beauty first and foremost. Soon after, he falls in love with his boss’ severely overweight daughter, which as it raises eyebrows everywhere the couple go, Hal is oblivious as to what everyone else is on about.

Tender, sweet and subtle are not words one readily attributes to the Farrelly Brothers, but in Shallow Hal they have managed to blend all three with their penchant for close to the knuckle humour.

Gwyneth Paltrow in the dual role dons the fat-suit and once again showcases her unheralded comic timing, while Jack Black proves ebullient and engaging in a role that calls for him to shut out what he is actually meant to be seeing. In support Jason Alexander gets the weasel best friend comedy sidekick role, and is wonderfully abhorrent and good at keeping the cards close to his chest.

It’s never uproariously funny, but it doesn’t need to be, it tickles where it needs to, and it prods the emotional psyche with requisite impact. In a world that has become obsessed with the girth and weight of a person, especially with women – and as it happens is led by Hollywood, Shallow Hal is refreshing entertainment. 7/10

***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 both amusing and meaningful. The movie stresses the importance of inward beauty, which Hal was incapable of seeing because of his focus on solely physical attractiveness. When the latter is removed through Tony Robbins’ mesmerism he’s finally able to see the former. Whiney libs that are unable to grasp fantasy and humor might be offended by the fat jokes, but the overall moral is commendable.

The flick scores pretty well in the feminine department with Paltrow in her prime and never looking better, speaking as someone who was never overly wowed by her. She’s jaw-dropping here and the movie doesn’t fail to spotlight her beauty. Other beautiful women are featured, like Susan Ward as Hal’s neighbor, Jill.

The film runs 1 hour, 54 minutes and was shot in Charlotte, North Carolina.

GRADE: B+

Pretty Funny Film With A Good Message
Do you judge a person – particularly a woman – by her outward appearance? If you do, you’re “shallow” and that’s the message played out in this comedy.

The humor in here is good, very funny in spots. There are plenty of jokes and sight gags. If you are obese and very sensitive, then skip this film because you won’t appreciate some of the humor in this film. But, if you can laugh at yourself, you’ll enjoy it too – and especially the message this film brings.

Jack Black was pretty much of an unknown actor when this came out, but he’s well-known now after School Of Rock, King Kong and other films. Gwyneth Paltrow everyone knows. She looked very pretty in here, maybe the best I’ve ever seen her. Jason Alexander and Joe Viterelli provide good supporting help. By the way, it was strange hearing Viterelli with an Irish accent. This is a guy who almost always plays Mafia types.

The only thing offensive to me was the beginning with some irreverent humor that was not needed, not part of the story, just a cheap shot against ministers. Also, for a lightweight comedy, the profanity could have been less. Can’t someone make a modern-day comedy without language and sex issues? I wish someone would at least try. It can be done – just look at the classics!

Anyway, this is still a pretty funny story with, of course, a good message about judging a book by its cover.

Wow! Gwyneth really had to gain weight for this flick.
“Shallow Hal” is yet another fresh, creative, and controversial comedy from the Farrlley Brothers. With Black in the title role as a superficial dating single, the film shows us what happens when self-help guru Tony Robbins gives Hal a post-hypnotic suggestion which changes his perception such that everyone’s outward appearance is in rapport with their inner beauty. An intelligent flick which illustrates the strange similarity between comedy and tragedy, “Shallow Hal” is a love it or hate it flick which has left many saying “I don’t get it”. The only way to find out if you’ll get it is to watch it.
