.....that just does not sound like correct grammar...but anyway.....
Yeah, this movie shocked me. But not-as you probably all agree if you've seen it-with the usual sight gags (I can still think of a few at the top of my head (minor SPOILER-SPOILER-SPOILER-SPOILER!!!!! ..like a tail and some vasoline)..but it shocked me with the Farellys ability to create a powerful drama.
See, this film isn't completely realistic anyway...which is why it would be absurd for anyone to find this film the least bit offensive. If anything, those who live mostly through their physical beauty standards should be the only ones offended by the film. The idea of anyone making a splash big enough for a kid to fly into a tree; I mean not even an 1500 person can do that. So if no fat person could relate to the exaggerated situations, there is no reason to cry out offended. BESIDES the fact that this film deals with a very real situation...not a lot of films are dedicated to this subject because it is very sensitive. You want it appealing without offending. The Farellys accomplish this heavy, heavy task.
I definitely expected to laugh with this movie, but I **NEVER** expected to cry; and I'm telling you, unless you have a cold heart, you will at least come close to crying during a certain scene(SPOILER ALERT!!!!! one involving a little girl whom Hal sees again after having his 'reality' back). It will add all the credibilty it needs for the rest of the film. You won't necessarily think this IS the most realistic movie, but you will somehow accept the ending as completely credible and sincere. Hope I didn't give anything away.
By the way, if anything****SEE IT FOR ONE REASON....

***** This guy would normally charge you like 1000 dollars an hour to see him, but here you get to hear his voice and see all 7 feet of him for just $9!
