Shallow Hal

I enjoyed this back before everyone was oversensitive to everything. I'm a little terrified to watch it now. It's probably fine. At least the legacy of Tony Robbins has made it through unscathed.

Not far removed from the Sandler movies of the era. The humor is low brow, the writing and production are uninspired, the plot is completely predictable, and the characters are pretty much all stock caricatures. But with all of this middle of the road genericness comes a middle of the road quality too, which means, it could have been a hell of a lot worse, and I mean a lot worse, and for a comedy, average is better than average.

Pretty goddamn bad. I hate it even more because of Gwyneth Paltrow getting "appalled" because when she wore the fat suit in public people wouldn't even make eye contact with her. Get out of your bubble you marginally talented actress and shut the fuck up while you're at it.

It's not terrible, but the ending sucks. You can't have ninety minutes of fat jokes and then do a 180 and try to make the movie about "inner beauty", okay? You can't do that. Also George Costanza has a tail for some fucking weird reason and this disturbs me

God, wasn't Gwyneth Paltrow so BRAVE in wearing that hideous fat-suit? God bless her. You know, God bless America.
