| Summary |
Directed by the notorious and uproarious Farrelly Brothers (Me, Myself & Irene, There's Something About Mary), this fall-down-funny fable is "one of the year's best comedies!" (People Magazine). Jack Black is Shallow Hal, a superficial skirt chaser who, thanks to an impromptu hypnosis by self-help guru Tony Robbins - doesn't realise that his stunningly beautiful girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow) is actually a 300-pound no-so-hottie. "Heartwarming and hilarious" (WFLD- TV), it's the biggest love story ever told! |
