Movie Reviews of Shallow Hal
Movie Review: Let's go Swimming
Summary: 5 Stars
I happened to tape this one night and I was kind of wary to watch it. I heard the good reviews that it was a good, lighthearted film. However, I am a bigger girl and that just made me apprehensive. After finally being able to watch this, I give the Farrelly Bros. two thumbs up, along with Jack Black. Paltrow I thought did a good job at being kind of shy, yet accepting of how her character was.
Only thing that did not fit with this film were Rosemary's clothes. No way would a bigger girl wear a bikini, a skirt that went above her knees, high heels ALL the time, and tank tops. We know what to wear to make us look good and those certainly wouldn't work.
All in all, I recommend this film to all bigger people, ugly people, people with outrageously curly hair and braces. It'll make you not care about your physical appearance as much. Maybe you'll be less hard on yourself. I am now a die hard fan of Jack Black and the Farrelly Bros.
Movie Review: A MOVIE WITH A LESSON
Summary: 5 Stars
I really don't know how anyone could not love this movie.Hal, the star of our show, is obsessed with beautiful women.
He puts down those who do not measure up to his high standards, which would be 90% of the world. Through a chance encounter with
a self-help guru, he is given a gift that he would see people
as they truly are, on the inside, their inner beauty.
Meeting a young woman named Rosemary, Hal only sees her as
beautiful while the rest of the world sees her as an obese
woman. Through the movie you are allowed to see people through
Hal's eyes, their inner self and how the rest of the world
sees them, which is never what they truly are.
I thought this movie was great. It's comedy with a good dose
of moral fiber and certainly gives you something to think
about after it has ended. This is one of the best movies I
have seen in a long time. I highly recommend it!
Movie Review: Fun fun fun...
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, this movie is just plain fun...Gwenyth Paltrow is the most beautiful woman ever, Jack Black delivers a great performance with an equal share of heart and humor, and Jason Alexander is hilarious...As much as I love the movie, there are some things that have disturbed me...First of all, there are some sick things such as the burn victim part which almost made me throw up, and the tail part which has continued to haunt my dreams...But most of all, I am just so sick and tired of people putting down others who are interested in a good-looking mate...A good personality is important I agree, but I wouldn't date someone who is ugly just because they have inner-beauty...Plus the message that it sends out is wrong: Beautiful people have bad personalities, ugly people have good personalities...I just think that it's the wrong message...
But this is a wonderful movie, and it's one of 2001's best...
Movie Review: I was hoping this one will be good ! I was right !
Summary: 5 Stars
Can I get one of those hipnose sessions ? To se , who is who ?! YES !!! I am a man . I am romantic..? Only one problemo-I don't know, when . This was not a " Fargo ". This one, was not a " Powder ". Not a " 6th sence ". BUT !? After the movie , I had the same filling . I wanted to be BETTER . I actually called everybody , whom I didn't pay the money back, and said : I am sorry !( I didn't pay them yet).
Very good romantic comedy ! Perfect for the blind date .
I had to watch "Dumb and Dumber " - TOO corny . But they(Farrely's ) had potantional ."kingpin " was much better ."There's Something about Mary " was so funny sometimes , I Had to se some of the moments again , and again . " The dog electricuted " - I was louphing on the carpet for a long time , very long ! ( Was unable to get up ).
Farrely's getting better every movie . I want to se the new one . Please hurry !
Movie Review: EL VERDADERO SIGNIFICADO DEL AMOR
Summary: 5 Stars
Muchos de nosotros acostumbramos a enamorarnos de lo que vemos a simple vista, pero dejamos a un lado los sentimientos y el corazon de la persona a la que amamos, volviendonos superficiales e hipocritas; este es precisamente el mensaje que esta graciosa pero increible pelicula nos deja, en la cual Shallow Hal (Jack Black) es el tipico tipo que busca solo sexo y placer en chicas bonitas, hasta que un maestro hipnotista le "modifica" su mente y le hace ver el INTERIOR de las personas y verlas a travez del corazon, lo cual lo lleva a enamorarse de una muy "regordeta" mujer (Gwynet Paltrov) a la cual el ve tremendamente hermosa (y delgada); este amor hace a Shallow aprender a ver mas alla del sexo y la atraccion fisica, volviendose incluso un romantico y serio enamorado; una pelicula muy apropiada para aquellos que buscan el amor verdadero y quieren amar mas alla de lo fisico.
