Shallow Hal

---

see? lol. I saw it for the first time yesterday and I was like "aww that's sweet at least he got the girl" and all that but it just confused me that when the guy gave him the ability to see inner beauty he saw them as slim. I don't know I was just kind of confused. By the end of the movie I was like.. "huh?" lol

I've sortof seen it. I don't know if I watched all the way through.

I thought it was that the guy gave him the ability to see the girls how they wanted to be seen?

On the big person/little person issue. I don't think it's morally wrong to think heavily overweight people are unattractive. They might be a good person and all, but they're also very unhealthy. When looking for a partner that definitely plays a factor, I mean, do you want your partner to have diabetes at 30, a stroke at 40 and have a less than 50% chance to live past 60?I don't agree that all girls should be size 0 (in fact I find it a real turn off), but if my partner ever reached the size that girl does in Shallow Hal I'd definitely make an issue of it. Yes I'd be less attracted to her, I can't help that, but I'd be far more concerned about her well-being.

The movie isn't saying that slim is better, the movie says that personality is better. However, since Hal is SO SHALLOW, the only way he'd be with a girl is if she looked perfect to him. And that is skinny. Although I think Gwyneth Paltrow is smoking, I still prefer my girls to be "average". The Jessica girl who was staying in town for her grandma, I didn't think was actually that unattractive..

I love that movie but i have to agree with RainNightBlue.

ok that makes more sense thanks

there were parts in that movie of both sexes and Wight that he viewed as pretty when they were not. if my mind is working right (and with he shit that’s been going on maybe not) it was in most of all the bar / club scenes. like i think one time he was dancing with 3 girls that he thought were hot and his friend saw diffrently. so we (as the people watching the movie) got to see both views of the girls. two of them were skinny. that's if i'm rememebering it right.

I think I remember that. They were, in the average person's eyes, ugly, but not extremely overweight, right?

i haven;t saeen it in a while. long time... i think it was two skinnies and a heavy. i dk but i;m thinking one had a big ass nose..... don;t go on my memery tho, it sucks

... i don;t think it was that great of a movie really
