Dig Shallow Hal?

i have this thing about jack black... i don't know... it's either you like or hate him in his movie roles... perhaps because of his very... very strong personality which fits him very... very naturally. hehehe i have watched shallow hal several times... totally enjoyable. and i liked the message it wants to portray. and i hope it would be an eye-opener for some of the shallow people who only look at the beauty from what appears in the eyes. there's still beauty and goodness inside a person... if only others would give a little effort to look beyond appearances. there were really funny moments in the movie... great switching on how hal perceived people while being "hypnotised" and the way his buddy and others see thru his eyes. each of the other would have to guess who is blind. and i liked the ending... made everyone happy.

Yes, I have watched Shallow Hal in the past. It is a nice humor movie and it is also meaningful. I like this movie even thought the actor is not handsome. That means to say that this movie is really successful. We can't judge people by the appearance only. Some may look ordinary but they have golden hearts. I think this is what this movie wants to tell us. I love China

So far, i have watched it a couple of times on cable, but i always din get to finish the whole movie.. haha =D IT's really a funny movie, but not because of jack black.. I like the plot, though i dunno what happens after the part when he was in the cab with a blonde.. lol =D That's where i always stopped watching due to some reasons or other.. haha =D BUt if there's a chance again, i will make sure i watch the whole movie.. hehe

I really liked the movie, it's been a long time since I saw it. The story was wonderful and people should think about what it says--don't judge a book by its cover! Hal fell in love, the real thing, when he didn't let looks get in the way.

Same here. I posted a discussion relating to it remember? The movie is a loaded comedy. Sure, it is funny in most parts and there are some serious moments but in the end, all of those antics, jokes, and dialogues come together to back up the very message of the story. I also think that there are a lot of messages that can be picked up in the movie, and not just one general theme. It still is an excellent movie. One that would forever be in my all time faves.

hi zed, oh! the 2001 movies is very hilarious...especially when the scenes is all about the undergarments Jack catch it and it so big....hehehe well... Hal under hypnosis see Rosemary as sexy which most guys see the physical beauty rather than the inner beauty... The movie for me conveys this kind of messages nothing could defeat a good heart as beauty fades while a good character remain to last till the end of time..which matter most on any relationship anyone could be beautiful even the ugly if you have the money.. thus anyone could lie about the physical, with a matter of surgery.. but no surgical operation could change a bad attitude... so what matter at the end is the inner beauty as physical fades...

Great topic. I love the movie Shallow Hal and even Jack Black for some strange reason. I didn't know there were so many people who not only liked the movie but that watched it more then once and beyond. Imagine that?

yes that movie was Funny I saw it with my daughters an we laughed like crazy

shallow hal is a easy to dig movie. beauty is not just seen by the eyes it is also felt to the heart. once a perso is a beauty inside then you are beauty also outside. it is a funny thing to watch for my wife and i loves watching a few movies of jack black. shallow hal and school of rock and nacho libre are the ones we both love watching. how about you how do you dig this movie?

I've seen bits and pieces of it. I'd like to see it all the way through though, that would give me a better idea of what the message is.

I like Jack Black and I enjoyed the movie very much. The message of course is about the futility of outer beauty without the inner splendour. It is funny and depicts the way the world is heading with priority on looks versus inner beauty.

hello zed! one doesn't have to finish watching the movie, just to get the message across. its a nice movie, a feel-good after. i really do not enjoy it, its gets boring somewhere but my partner like to watch it and he's having a good laugh so i stick watching. its more favorable to the girls and we all wish we meet a man with a heart that looks inside the woman, and not the physical appearance.

I have watched Shallow Hal a few times and I too found it very funny. I sort of agree with the message and it actually shows what people these days think about beauty. They don't tend to look inside someone to know more about them. Beautiful people are really not that good from the heart but there are always few exceptions.

The message is that true beauty is on the inside not the outside, yes it's a good movie.

Hey der....Howz it going wid you? Its always good to see your discussions and this is one of them. I love shallow hal too. I love the message it portrays that looks doesn't matter when you are in love. She/he isn't supposed to look perfect to be the perfect one for you! I so believe that. And yeah, the movie on the whole was quiet entertaining and funny.

I like Shallow Hal... just watched it last night in cable... and i think that is already like the nth time... Jack Black is a very funny actor and Gwyneth Paltrow did justice to the role... she still looked pretty even with the fat suit... But what i do not like about it is that how they portrayed beautiful and ugly people... it's like all ugly people are good and all beautiful ones are not... and we all know that is no the case in reality...

OMG, I had forgotten about that movie. I wish EVERYBODY in the world were hypnotized like Hal. We ALL put too much emphasis on the outside of a person!!! There are a LOT of beautiful people out there...just not on the outside. Their inner beauty is MUCH MORE important than their outer beauty!!! I'd like to say to anyone reading this...If you only look at the outer beauty of a person, you're missing half of their soul!!! There are a lot of gems just waiting to be discovered!!!

I did like that movies. It was really funny and had a pretty good message too. I think that it signifies how important that it can be to look beyond what's on the outside sometimes.

I absolutely love Shallow Hal!! I have seen that movie may be 3-4 time? I guess.. more like 4-5 times..:) I adore Jack Black. He is this really cute comedian who has the best comic sense.He is so hip and doesn't have to try to be funny. The message that the movie has in store for all of us is important. In this day and age where almost everything is governed by how we look, it's important to realize that the inner beauty is the only thing that will last a lifetime. I also loved the fact that this movie is about someone who was obese. Most movies in this genre deal with people who are not too good looking, and then they get this whole makeover done.. Voilà! They turn into pretty people. But here, the fact is that his perception of her changed. She still remained overweight. Good story line :)

I like the movie too. I have watched it a couple of times especially now that it has been shown on TV severl times by an international channel. The message is quite clear. From the title itself, somehow people would get what it means. It is about seeing beauty from within.
