Directed by the guys who brought you There's Something About Mary and Me, Myself & Irene, this heavyweight hit comedy is "heartwarming and hilarious -- an unbeatable combination!"
Jack Black is Shallow Hal, a superficial skirt chaser who, after a mind-altering experience with a self-help guru, doesn't realize that his gorgeous girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow) is actually a 300-pound not-so-hottie. Meanwhile, Hal's playboy pal Mauricio (Jason Alexander) is determined to break the spell before someone gets...squashed! Packed with loads of laughs and non stop fun, it's the biggest love story ever told!
A shallow man falls in love with a 300-pound woman because of her inner beauty. Following the advice of his dying father, Hal dates only women who are physically beautiful. One day, however, he runs into self-help guru Tony Robbins, who hypnotizes him into recognizing only the inner beauty of women.
Hal thereafter meets Rosemary, a largely obese woman whom only he can see as a vision of loveliness. But will their relationship survive when Hal's equally shallow friend undoes the hypnosis?
