1. Review: Shallow Hal
- movie-reviews.colossus.net
- Shallow Hal.
- In that respect, however, Shallow Hal surprises. ... Shallow Hal is a sweet, somewhat dumb romantic comedy that's almost impossible to actively dislike. ...
- Hal (Jack Black) is about as shallow as they come. ... However, while that might work for someone with above-average looks, Hal could generously be called "ordinary". ... Hal's best friend, Mauricio (Jason Alexander), is in pretty much the same boat, so the two of them spend time consoling each other - until fate steps in. ...
- One day, Hal becomes stuck in an elevator with self-help guru Anthony Robbins. Robbins, understanding Hal's predicament with women, decides to give him a gift - he hypnotizes Hal so, when he meets a woman, he sees not her physical appearance, but her inner beauty. Soon afterwards, Hal meets Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow) and is astonished that she is willing to go out with him. However, the girl who looks like a stunning, willowy blonde to Hal appears to everyone else like a white, female version of Professor Sherman Klump. ...
- Shallow Hal contains its share of cute scenes, and even offers a few surprisingly touching moments (such as the one when Rosemary realizes that Hal is genuinely interested in her, not just making fun of her). ... But, despite these laudatory qualities, there's a flaw to Shallow Hal, and it's not an insignificant one. ... Oh, there are some laughs to be had, but most of those punch-lines, which concern the differences between how Hal and the world view Rosemary, have been given away by the TV commercials and theatrical trailers. ...
- Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow is delightfully sweet as Rosemary, the big girl who is discovering the joys of love for the first time (for most of the film, Paltrow appears as herself - Rosemary as seen through Hal's eyes - but there are occasions when she has to don a huge "fat suit"). ...
- Curiously, the message of Shallow Hal is identical to that of Shrek. ... Shallow Hal is light, harmless, and in need of a dose of the outrageousness that made There's Something About Mary more enjoyable. ...

- SAVE | EMAIL | PRINT | MOST POPULAR | RSS | REPRINTS May 28, 2002 Shallow Hal According to our film critic, "Shallow Hal" is "mildly entertaining and more than a little mawkish. ...
- By Kirk Honeycutt This review was written for the theatrical release of "Shallow Hal. " Mildly entertaining and more than a little mawkish, the Farrelly brothers' "Shallow Hal" feels like a laugh machine that never really powers up. ... "Shallow Hal" could perform well for Fox, perhaps not achieving "There's Something About Mary" numbers, but hits are still hits. ... Jack Black plays Hal, an average guy in an average city with an above average libido and marching orders from his dying Dad to never make a play for a female who is anything less than a babe. No matter how many rejections he suffers, Hal never even considers a woman unless she has supermodel looks. ...
- Trapped in an elevator with self-help guru Tony Robbins, Hal gets a lecture on human relationships. Robbins then puts a spell on Hal so he will only see the inner beauty of women. Instantly, Hal is smitten with all sorts of females who are gentle, friendly and sincere. Not particularly good-looking, mind you, but Hal sees only centerfolds. This delusion culminates in Hal's infatuation with Rosemary, a sinuous, gorgeous blonde -- Paltrow, of course -- who is, in fact, a 300-pounder. She also is the daughter of the owner (Joe Viterelli) of Hal's company, which results in his sudden ascension to the executive floor. ... The Farrellys manage a few good physicals gags, most of which have been seen repeated in trailers and TV spots -- a puzzled Hal paddling only air in a canoe tilted upward by his lithe date or Rosemary's cannonball dive into a swimming pool that empties half its water. Then an alarmed Mauricio corners Robbins and demands he take his hex off Hal. This sets up the movie's sentimental conclusion, where Hal, his vision restored, must wrestle with his love for a wonderful, thin woman trapped in a very large body. ... He hits all the rights notes, but there is something flavorless in his approach to Hal. When Hal finally "gets it" and can see Rosemary's inner beauty without any spells, you don't see what has awakened this dormant sensitivity.
8. HAL's Legacy: 2001's Computer as Dream and Reality (David Stork)

- In contrast, 2001 (and the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which Hal is "born" in 1997) is not at all embarrassing as a starting point for a book about artificial intelligence. ... Their failures when it comes to HAL and artificial intelligence reflect the predictive failures of the discipline more than their own errors. ...
- In HAL's Legacy Stork has assembled an impressive list of contributors: Daniel Dennett on the moral and ethical status of artificial intelligences, Douglas Lenat on common sense, Raymond Kurzweil on speech recognition, and Murray Campbell on computer chess, to name just a few. ...
- The connections to HAL and 2001 are substantial and not just a source of throwaway glamour: many of the contributors clearly found the film personally inspiring. ... Clarke himself and a good selection of full colour stills, Hal's Legacy will be a great pleasure for fans of 2001. But, whether you have seen the film or not, I recommend HAL's Legacy as a readable introduction to the realities of artificial intelligence. ...

- November 09, 2001 | "Shallow Hal" opens with a dying man's advice to his young son, and they're words to live by: "Don't be satisfied with routine poontang. ... What it doesn't foreshadow is the pure sweetness of "Shallow Hal," a sweetness that sticks with you past the last frame without ever being cloying. "Shallow Hal" isn't the funniest Farrelly brothers movie, but it's the one that draws their knockabout humanist qualities into the tightest circle. ...
- Hal (Jack Black) is a pudgy, not overly good-looking guy who, after taking the advice of his dying dad, nevertheless thinks he's entitled to the most gorgeous babes. ...
- But then Hal happens to meet personal-transformation guru Anthony Robbins (played, with booming charm, by himself) and winds up receiving an impromptu "hypnosis" session. After that, Hal sees women differently. ... When Hal catches sight of Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow), a sometime Peace Corps volunteer who also spends much of her time helping out in the children's ward of the local hospital, he falls for her instantly. ...
- But in the cruel shorthand used to describe less-than-pretty girls throughout the history of time, she has a great personality -- it's little wonder Hal falls for her. Hal's new gift of sight works in reverse, too: Now, when he looks at a hot gold digger, he sees a wrinkled hag. ...
- "Shallow Hal" isn't out to teach us a lesson -- and if it is, we're in deep trouble, because the idea that beauty is only skin deep is something most of us should have learned long ago. ...
- Some moviegoers may walk away from "Shallow Hal" disappointed that there aren't more outlandishly filthy gags. ... ) But the Farrellys (who also cowrote the script, with Sean Moynihan) are getting even better at knowing how to use the camera to get laughs: In one of the movie's best sight gags, we see Hal and Rosemary canoeing on a pond. Even though we're seeing the "thin" Rosemary, the one Hal sees, her end of the canoe is slung low in the water, while Jack, at the back end, is hiked high in the air. ...
