Shallow Hal- the last Farrelly brothers installment, but not the worst, only because there are no bad Farrelly brothers films

The film "Shall0w Hal" (2001), by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, is in my opionion, in the top ten funniest movies of the new century.

I want to start off by saying that the Farrelly brothers did an excellent job of putting their important message into the film, which is to look past the outside and evaluate a girl by whats on her insides. Leave it to the overlooked film directors who are viewed as nonsensicle goofy guys to incorporate the key message.

This movie I feel is often overlooked by my friends, critics, and people I talk to about movies. I don't know why people would look past the humor of the always solid Farrelly boys. This one did not dissapoint. Using much of the same type of humor from their other movies, "Shallow Hal" brought me to loud laughter dozens of times throughout the couple of hours. Gwyneth Paltrow, who is never looked at for her comedic qualities, I feel did an excellent job creating laughter and sorrow. She did a nice job in her overweight suit too. Also, i'm not usually a fan of Jack Black at all, but in this film, I loved him. He was sustainable and actually funny. Not too much over the top humor, only more less-forced laughs.

I think the favorite part of the film was when Jack Black (Hal) and Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow), are at a restaurant and she orders numerous, numerous food items and Hal gets very excited with his date because he is really tired of " ...the girls who just order a crouton and a glass of water". I just loved that line because it was funny, but also talked about how he doesn't notice her large size, only he loves her inner beauty.
