I remember that I have seen it before and rated it. Seeing it again today, I still have feelings. The coat of comedy conveys truth, goodness and beauty. It is easy to follow the change of the plot and discover that you can try to break away from the pursuit of the senses and experience the inner beauty. When Hal saw the really face of the burned little girl in the hospital, he was stunned and moved to his eyes and heart. The pop music in the film is lively and cheerful, and the ending shots about stopping the team are really great!

Shallow Hal quotes

  • [after Mauricio broke Hal's spell]

    Hal: Let me ask you something. Who is the all-time love of your life?

    Mauricio: [ponders] Wonder Woman.

    Hal: Okay... let's say Wonder Woman falls in love with you. And everyone else in the world didn't find her attractive.

    Mauricio: It wouldn't matter. Because I know they'd be wrong.

    Hal: See! That's what I had with Rosemary! I saw a knockout, I don't care what anybody else saw!

    Mauricio: You're right. I guess I really did screw you, huh?

  • Mauricio: Shallow Hal wants a gal.
