A
morality tale from the Farrelly brothers? What were they thinking!?
If I wanted a morality tale I'd have gone to see a Disney movie.
Jack
Black plays Hal, a portly fellow who has impossibly high standards
in women, he thinks Britney Spears would be a great girlfriend except
that she's too muscular. Enter fate, in the form of Tony Robbins
who plays himself in this movie. Hal and Tony are stuck in an elevator
for several hours where Hal tells Tony all about his tragic luck
with women. Tony decides it would be in Hal's best interest if he
saw women's personalities instead of their outward looks, and does
a little hypnotic magic on Hal.
Now
Hal thinks he sees beautiful women everywhere and amazingly enough,
when he talks to them they actually seem to be flattered! Hal's
best friend Mauricio (Jason Alexander) thinks he's flipped his lid
of course, but can't convince Hal that he's been attracted to rather
unattractive women.
There's
got to be a romance here of course, and it has to be a fat chick..
so it's time for Gwyneth Paltrow in a fat suit as Rosemary. OK,
so Hal falls for Rosemary because he thinks she's a really hot babe…
do you think that eventually he might see her as she really is?
Do you think!? Gee, can you take a wild guess how this movie ends?
There
are a few funny parts in the movie, but not nearly enough to make
this one worth watching. Don't even bother taking a date to this
one, she'll be too bored to have a good time. They should have called
it Shallow Plot instead.

Gun Play
I
was hoping for some just to make the movie interesting.
Blood & Gore
Only
the fat suit.
Car Chases
Nope.
T&A
Gwyneth
Paltrow looks mighty fine in a thong.
Chuckles
Nowhere
near enough to make up for the rest of the movie. |
