Short description
After taking his dying father's advice, Hal dates only the embodiments of female physical perfection. But that all changes after Hal has an unexpected run-in with self-help guru Tony Robbins. Intrigued by Hal's shallowness, Robbins hypnotizes him into seeing the beauty that exists even in the least physically appealing women. Hal soon falls for Rosemary, but he doesn't realize that his gorgeous girlfriend is actually a 300-pound-not-so-hottie.
What's left behind the scenes
- When Gwyneth walked down the street in a fat suit before filming, no passersby recognized her.
- Actor Jack Black had to lose weight for the role of Hal.
- When Gwyneth Paltrow's character jumps into the pool, the splash was depicted using two hoses, directing jets of water upwards.
- Applying Gwyneth Paltrow's makeup for the role of Rosemary took 4 hours.
- Joshua 'Li'iBoy' Shintani landed the role in the film purely by chance. Director and screenwriter Peter Farrelly was in Hawaii when he came across Shintani playing the ukulele near the public library. Farrelly invited Shintani to come to an audition in Los Angeles, he came, and was immediately approved for the role.
- The chocolate milkshake that Gwyneth Paltrow's character drinks was created using computer technology.
