Yes, this is not a film for the ages. But I found Shallow Hal to be an OK movie, and a few scenes really did move me (i.e. Jack Black and the little girl in the burn unit). Jack Black is fine as the loser who looks for love on the surface only, and Gwyneth Paltrow does an admirable job in a very challenging role as the overweight but good-hearted Rosemary. The worst part of the film to me was Jason Alexander, who basically phones in his role as Black's best friend. (Think George Costanza on the big screen with more curse words.) But all in all, this is a great movie to debate, and I'd see it again.
