Review of Shallow Hal (2001) by Dionysakys — 30 May 2023
6.3/10.
I mean yeah I kinda got the whole point of this movie,but I don't think I can't be fatphobic and criticize body stereotypes about people while writing this review...I will try my best First of all the plot of this movie was amazingly6.3/10.
I mean yeah I kinda got the whole point of this movie,but I don't think I can't be fatphobic and criticize body stereotypes about people while writing this review...I will try my best.
First of all the plot of this movie was amazingly good at a point that me and my brother were wondering how is this even a comedy film from 2000's era,then some cringy scenes appeared and made it kinda awkward.The movie had a daring plot and wasn't afraid to express it's messages which is something I have to admit about it.
The cast tho was good, Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow sure had a good chemistry and helped the point of the movie getting better and better the rest of the cast was also good but nothing way too impressive to talk about.
The soundtrack as well as the writing were classic and normal nothing way too cool or way too awkward just good a good begging a good story but a **** ending...
I mean yeah Jack Black understood the meaning of the movie but no Hollywood you can't tell this huge lie straight to the viewer's face cause this ending and basically the whole film is a huge right thing people should do,which means that they have to respect the people for eho they really are but sadly nobody wants to accept it because let's be clear now girls and boys who would like a fat woman that is capable of dying from diabetes at any moment like the female protagonist or maybe a fat guy that is also capable of dying from diabetes nobody because we all are baesd on falsy stereotypes which is something the movie tries to express but not in a way it was supposed to be...
In conclusion,"Shallow Hal" is a good and maybe a little deep movie, but way too awkward to watch and boring after a certain point, which I don't wanna spoil to the rest of you who haven't seen it, watch it if you want but if you don't tho there is literally nothing to lose...
