justkrepper At first, I though it was just a funny movie that made fun of big girls; therefore I wasn't so excited about it. But it turns out to be a lesson of life. If we only look at the cinematographic aspect of this movie, it doesn't have any interest. However, the message behind this film is so deep : every woman is beautiful and deserve to find love! I will not watch it twice, but we spend a good time.

Lars Lendale ****************** SPOILERS **********************This movie is funny, but it has nothing to do with Jack Black who has zero acting skills and has no clue how to embody a character's lines. Jack Black, is the most overrated stand up comedian or whatever he is called, today. He is not funny, he has no funny lines in that movie, if he had any, they wouldn't sound funny because he has no funny genes. And yet, the guy can't help but autoproclaim himself "THE funniest guy in Hollywood." He even posted a video of himself on Youtube about how hard it is for him to try and not to be funny all the time. No, he is not funny, he is arrogant, condescending and hasn't made one decent movie in his entire career. The best character in there, is Jason Alexander. He was hysterical, and without him, the movie would have been only funny for 20 seconds: the scene with the fatties. Other than that, the gags are too short and more cute than hilarious. It's really a movie with no substance, where Black pretty much was only preoccupied in the "chase for the girl" - "I have to chase the girl" and it goes on and on and the ending is as overdone as it can get. So it's not toilet humor, it's not full of gags, it's just movie that appears to be so for the first fifteen minutes to ten turn into a lousy sentimental clichè boredom romance. Don't get your hopes up, this movie is only worth watching for the first fifteen minutes.

tbills2 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.

FilmBuff1994 Shallow Hal is a good movie with a well written storyline and a great comedic cast.The movie is written and directed by the Farrelly brothers,who have made some outstanding comedies,and while this may not be some of their best work,it is still filled with loads of hilarious scenes that you'd know while watching that they wrote it.Jack Black is certainly the best part of this movie,he was really interested and confident about his character and it certainly showed on screen,he also had great chemistry with both Gwyneth Paltrow and Jason Alexander.I thought that the jokes about Paltrows character being really fat but the audience seeing her as skinny gets really old after a while,but it just keeps gong until the end of the movie,which was certainly the weakest part of the movie,it's funny for a bit,but seeing a woman with a great figure manage to break a chair or eat a two person milkshake on her own just gets old pretty fast.Shallow Hal certainly has flaws,but it is funny and unique and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and fun comedy.When looks obsessed Hal is hypnotised in to recognising only the inner beauty of women he soon falls for Rosemary,a very obese woman,but he only sees the beauty in her.Best Performance: Jack Black
