Shallow Hal

Filed under: Comedy | Buy on Amazon

I expected a movie that actually embraced and espoused the idea that beauty comes from within.

What I saw was a movie that tried to do that, but ended up just reinforcing the same old stereotypes: slender young hotties with big boobs are all a guy needs. The premise is a good start -- womanizer Hal is suddenly transformed and can only see the inner beauty in everyone he meets. But when inner beauty is on the outside, it looks just like the slender young hotties Hal was chasing before. I thought it would transcend the typical tripe, but in the end it just made me feel sick. Save your money.
