Guy’s Review...
With a lack of new good comedies I guess we sat down to watch a bunch of older once. Before putting this movie in I had recently seen the Farrelly brother on the interview show “The Dialogue”. A show where producer Mike De Luca interviews successful writers in the industry. Here they talk about “Shallow Hal” and how the audience where surprised that they where able to show heart in their movie.
The Farrellys are mostly known for their gross out and slapstick type humor. Sure, there are a bunch of that here in this film but mostly it focuses on the story. The story is very simple, you need to look beyond the exterior of people. Hal (Jack Black) gets a “curse” laid upon him so he can only see the inner beauty of people.
There’s a question here. Hal can see everyones ugliness or beauty. Except for one guy, his best friend played by Jason Alexander. Is his friend a bad or good person? Well, we never get to find out. All we know is that he has a tail (true Farrelly humor).
Guy’s Rating: Funny but far from the best in the Farrelly collection.
Girl’s OL: This is a favorite of my parents... and I can’t understand why.
