Storyline

After taking his dying father's advice, Hal dates only the embodiments of female physical perfection. But that all changes after Hal has an unexpected run-in with self-help guru Tony Robbins. Intrigued by Hal's shallowness, Robbins hypnotizes him into seeing the beauty that exists even in the least physically appealing women. Hal soon falls for Rosemary, but he doesn't realize that his gorgeous girlfriend is actually a 300-pound-not-so-hottie.

Critics consensus

“While surprisingly sweeter and warm-hearted than previous Farrelly outings, Shallow Hal is also less funny and more bland.”

Unexpectedly rather sweet and underplayed, given that it comes from the gross-out kings.

The situations become too embarrassing to be funny.

RTAssociated PressJun 12, 2018

A movie that meanders from one sight gag to the next, many of which you've already seen in the commercials.

Black does not have the skill to carry an entire movie... Despite that drawback and the film's one-dimensional plot, Shallow Hal has a terrific message.
