Movie Reviews of Shallow Hal
Movie Review: Crossing the boundaries of romantic comedy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the review of the guy that claims Shallow Hal has a 'dumb storyline' Its people like him that fall for the corny Meg Ryanny romantic comedies and fail to appreciate a good addition to the line. I consider Shallow to be an original masterpiece by those Farrelly Brothers. How many other films do you know to have used such a contraversial topic and incoperate it so sensitively into a genuinely funny, romantic movie? Break the norm. Shallow Hal is brilliant! I haved watched it 5 times and counting. Shallow Hal is a great movie, with a good message. Beauty is only skin deep. Jack Black shines, showing that he can play more than the fat,...beer drinking, [failures] that he's been playing off late. And need I mention Jason Alexander is in this movie? He delivers some hilarious fat jokes that will have you rolling and laughing your head off!
One of my fave movies.
Movie Review: some depth to this movie - a different approach!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first sight, the movie tends to be a bit juvenile - good enough for some laughs on a Friday night. However, if you stop to think; Shallow Hal could be approached philosophically. I think the producer was on to something here. To some success he is letting us see how a real person -perhaps a godly person sees others; without defects or prejudice - simply as human beings.
I appreciate this movie for its honesty, its settle intent to identify our own shallowness while at the same time taking us to a higher level of sincerity within ourselves. I like the movie a lot. In fact, I identify with Shallow Hal because I tend to see people beyond their physical appearance. To me this movie was very real, although, not Hollywood correct. This movie took me to my dream world; the perfect world where we can all love each other from within. I highly recommend it.
Movie Review: A SURPRISE WINNER PICKED BY MY 12 YEAR-OLD GRANDSON
Summary: 5 Stars
I really didn't think that I would like this movie because my 12 year-old grandson picked it out at the video rental store. His previous "just gotta see" selection was "DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?" and I figured this would be just as much of a loser as that one was. So I sulked in the other room, reading a book while the family was watching the movie, and only came out to join them when it was about a third over. I was immediately interested, enchanted with the premise, and sympathetic! What a wonderfully funny love story with a twist! I stayed up to watch the first part that I had missed and ended up watching the whole movie all over again! Very clean, funny, family entertainment with a clear message about beauty being only skin deep. It was great! Don't miss it! Now it is on my wish list and I hope to purchase (or receive it as a gift) soon! A KEEPER!Movie Review: A Touching Movie With Depth
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie 3 times because I liked it so much. When I saw the previews, it was on my list of movies to see, but I didn't expect to like it very much and I wasn't in a hurry to see it. When I saw it I was surprised by how good it was and it is now one of my favorite movies.I have been overweight and have felt not very pretty, so I could really identify with what some of the characters felt and how they acted. I was fascinated by the way the movie showed how differently things can be seen and how unimportant outer beauty is. I think that people with depth will love this movie and shallow people will probably not enjoy it very much. If you are a person who likes movies that stimulate your mind and make you think differently or a person who likes to look at the deeper side of life, this is a great movie to see.Movie Review: Shallow Hal is Profound
Summary: 5 Stars
When my teen-aged son asked me to watch this movie for the first time, I was reluctant based on the title. I expected a crass, tasteless tribute to society's skewed ideas regarding romance, with only a polite nod toward the truly important elements in any meaningful relationship. Was I in for a surprise! Shallow Hal is smart, funny, well-made, and carries a critically important message for our times: It's what lies within a person (character, personality) that makes a relationship worthwhile, not the packaging (body/looks).
The bonus features on this disc are both informative and enjoyable. If you want to laugh while biting your teeth into something far deeper than fluff, I recommend Shallow Hal.
This movie is appropriately rated PG-13, due to some of its language and sexual content.
