About this movie

From the duo that brought you Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary comes a hilarious film about "inner beauty"! Hal (Jack Black) is a man so shallow that all he cares about are the bodies of the women he dates. After being hypnotized into seeing the beauty that exists even in the least physically appealing women, he now thinks he's found true love. But what he doesn't realize is that his gorgeous girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow) is actually a 300-pound-not-so-hottie!

Ratings and reviews

One of the best movies I have ever seen. The plot was so believable and very funny. Such a shame we are all shallow Hal. But the ending was so touching. I cried. And I loved seeing Tony Robins. Also love Jason Alexander. Not to mention Gwyneth Paltrow.

Clearly some reviewers here are nothing but shallow. Anyone who actually has any morals and values sees the beautiful message this movies teaches us. On top of that, pretty funny movie overall. One of my favorites.

Why would the point be to look at the beauty within the heart end being exactley what a hot woman would be either way he ends with her just the way she is at the end
