Meanwhile, Hal's playboy pal Mauricio (Jason Alexander) is determined to break the spell before someone gets... squashed! Packed with loads of laughs and non stop fun, it's the biggest love story ever told!

System Requirements:
Starring: Jack Black, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jason Alexander, Joe Viterelli, and Susan Ward.
Directed By: Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly.
Running Time: 113 Min., Color.

Coming from the creators of Dumb & Dumber and There's Something About Mary, the sensitivity of Shallow Hal seems like a minor miracle. The codirecting Farrelly brothers haven't forsaken their lowbrow inclinations, but this clever romantic fantasy offers unexpected substance with the same comedic effrontery that made the Farrellys famous. Their antihero is Hal (Jack Black), whose fixation on beautiful women is reversed (after an encounter with self-help guru Tony Robbins) so he can see only the inner beauty of "undesirables" like his new girlfriend Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow), now gorgeous in Hal's eyes despite being grossly obese. The movie's handling of this conundrum is sweetly sincere, poking fun at social prejudices while validating those (overweight, homely, disabled) who are often heartbroken by Hal's brand of shallowness. The concept won't hold up to scrutiny (i.e., the movie trades one set of stereotypes for another), but Shallow Hal works as an often hilarious reminder that physical beauty is only skin deep. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars EL VERDADERO SIGNIFICADO DEL AMOR.......2007-06-30

Muchos de nosotros acostumbramos a enamorarnos de lo que vemos a simple vista, pero dejamos a un lado los sentimientos y el corazon de la persona a la que amamos, volviendonos superficiales e hipocritas; este es precisamente el mensaje que esta graciosa pero increible pelicula nos deja, en la cual Shallow Hal (Jack Black) es el tipico tipo que busca solo sexo y placer en chicas bonitas, hasta que un maestro hipnotista le "modifica" su mente y le hace ver el INTERIOR de las personas y verlas a travez del corazon, lo cual lo lleva a enamorarse de una muy "regordeta" mujer (Gwynet Paltrov) a la cual el ve tremendamente hermosa (y delgada); este amor hace a Shallow aprender a ver mas alla del sexo y la atraccion fisica, volviendose incluso un romantico y serio enamorado; una pelicula muy apropiada para aquellos que buscan el amor verdadero y quieren amar mas alla de lo fisico.

4 out of 5 stars A sweet and good-hearted film.......2007-06-23

I know the Farrelly Brothers reputation preceeds them, but this movie takes what they are infamous for and adds some heart and soul and the result if a nice little comic-romantic offering. Jack Black is, well, Jack Black as the title character, which tells you all you need to know. Jason Alexander is, well, Jason Alexander as Hal's buddy and does his George from Seinfeld best portrait in smarminess and manic exasperation. Gwyneth Paltrow is understated as the self-image challenged Rosemary and gets the job done without maudlin overacting. The movie comes with a heavy-handed but well intentioned moral and you come away from this movie with a bit of hope and even possibly a dash of inspiration opposed to just coming away from it with something in your hair or mustard down your throat.

5 out of 5 stars a classic from the minute it hit the screen.......2007-05-03

The plot centers around Hal, a superficial twit who, to make a long story short, is hypnotized into perceiving every new person he meets as they really are inside. To him, the appearances of others become faithful representations of their inner natures.

A surprisingly deep premise, and the script certainly doesn't stumble with it. It's just hilarious.

Unfortunately, you kind of wish the writers had gone even further. The film shows how people who are fat or ugly on the outside can be beautiful on the inside.

What would have been nice is an exploration of how people who are ugly on the inside can also be ugly on the outside, or how those who are beautiful on the outside can also be truly beautiful on the inside, two possibilities that are cleanly overlooked by the filmmakers. Instead the film suggests that the nature of everything you see is, in fact, belied by its inner reality, quite a radical philosophical assertion when you think about it.

By the way, it may interest you to know that, spurred on to moral action by this film, I decided to finally go out on a date with an enormous woman who had repeatedly expressed interest in me. For a few days, I completely overlooked her appearance and listened to her carefully, making every effort possible to discover and appreciate the person inside.

Alas! She was truly as hideous on the inside as she was on the outside. So it's back to superficiality for me.

Oh well. The point is, this movie's full of laughs. Don't forget to check out the deleted scenes.

5 out of 5 stars Hilarious.......2007-04-17

Ridiculous? Offensive? Raunchy?
A slight touch of the above, but overall a sweet movie with
some excellent zingers. (-:

4 out of 5 stars A very funny comedy with a serious message.......2007-02-04

Jack Black stars as Hal, a shallow, less than perfect man with high standards who only sees woman as they appear. After a chance encounter with Tony Robbins in an elevator, he is hypnotized into only seeing the inner beauty within woman. So what used to be offensive in his eyes, suddenly becomes endearing and desirable.

Hal soon learns woman who he thinks are very beautiful and sexy are the very same woman he would look at in disgust and run away from. Thinking he has some sort of sex appeal to be able to attract stunning woman, he finds himself all of a sudden attracting woman wherever he goes, until he meets Rosemary, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, whom he quickly falls in love with.

Black plays the part of Hal perfectly, superbly mixing comedy with a blend of drama. There are many messages to be picked up throughout the movie, mainly that everyone can be a little shallow and that real beauty does come from within. I was surprised to learn that this was a Farrelly brothers movie as it does stray from their usual brand of humour, but definitely in a good way as this is their most mature film to date whilst still delivering some of their comedic brilliance at the same time.

I was also surprised to learn that Black regretted ever being a part of this film and considered himself a sell-out afterward, saying that this was not the sort of film he ever wanted to make, but was just lured to the attraction of working with the Farrelly brothers.

There are negatives to this film, Paltrow's acting was very blend I'm sorry to say, but in saying that I have never been a big fan of her's and Jason Alexanders charcter became very annoying as the film played out. But I have seen this film many times and still enjoy it and will keep on enjoying it for years to come. It was a great buy and one of the most treadured DVD's in my coleection. The best Farrelly brothers film in my opinion.

    Would a man change for something better? Nice suggestion. Time brings on change I find this very unrealistic though. Good plot. I like the movie because there was very little subjective thoughts in it. This movie is a good way to going back to the days when tv was for children too.

    5 out of 5 stars For Love of Sidney.......2007-03-31

    This movie portrayed a successful, professional black business man in the 60's - -how refreshing. Sidney Poitier was not surprisingly, impressive, powerful and sexy!

    Terrific movie, good acting by all.

    5 out of 5 stars FOR LOVE OF IVY.......2007-03-13

    WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY ABOUT A SIDNEY POITIER MOVIE, BUT HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO SEE AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS ONE RANKS UP THERE WITH "IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT", AND "LILLIES OF THER FIELD". SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR OTHERS TO ENJOY.

    5 out of 5 stars FOR LOVE OF IVY.......2007-02-13

    ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. A REAL "CHICK FLICK", OR, FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T MIND A GOOD LOVE STORY! I LOVE SYDNEY POITIER AND ABBEY LINCOLN IN THIS FILM. HOWEVER, A MUCH YOUNGER BEAU BRIDGES REMINDS YOU OF WHAT A GREAT ACTOR HE IS, AND CARROLL O'CONNOR -- ALTHOUGH ONLY SEEN IN JUST A FEW SCENES -- FULLY COMMANDS HIS ROLE AS THE FATHER.

    5 STARS WITHOUT A DOUBT!

    5 out of 5 stars "A Commanding Performance".......2007-02-13

    Sidney Poitier is absolutely wonderful in this movie. I especially loved the end because he turns over a new leaf! This shows he didn't really like his night job at all, and that a good woman can help a good man see his true potential for better things. I really enjoyed watching it.

    CAVALRY CHARGE is actually a film from Paramount,called THE LAST OUTPOST.
    It was an A feature and did good solid box office.

    The original film had beautiful colors by Technicolor.
    From Paul B. Scott

    3 out of 5 stars A typical 1950's Civil War film.......2004-02-04

    Those old Civil War films are always the same. They're filmed in the California desert with inaccurate uniforms and weapons. Reagan gives a so-so performance as a Confederate Cavalry officer who finds himself fighting against his brother who is an officer in the Union Cavalry. And of course...there's a woman invoved too. It's a somewhat enjoyable movie, but certainly not a five star film.

    5 out of 5 stars the last outpost.......2003-03-12

    well made movie. Ronald Reagan, Rhonda Fleming, and a host of tv stars of the fifties. Premise is two brothers fighting the civil war one union one confederate on tv it's known as the last outpost. Interesting plot and in color

    Description

    The delectable Claudia Cardinale's first starring role is superlative, knowing and naïve, sexy and innocent..

    As the GIRL WITH A SUITCASE, Cardinale is Aida, a poor but upstanding young woman, valiantly struggling to protect her virtue while being betrayed by her trusting nature. Rejected by her lover, Marcello, a wealthy cad about town, she ends up with his sixteen year old brother, Lorenzo, who makes a gallant effort to save her from a sinister collection of rogues. In her peasant blouse and billowing skirt, Cardinale is a shot of caffeine to Perrin's sexual awakening, and his noble actions provide a thin ray of hope against an otherwise dark future. Aida and Lorenzo eventually find solace in each others arms, but their idyll is shattered when her shady past catches up with her.

    From this, her first starring role, Cardinale went on to stardom in Hollywood appearing in "Once Upon in the West", "Circus World" and the Pink Panther series. After all, Life magazine called her: ". . . unusual and touching . . . Claudia Cardinale is a delicious dish."

    2 out of 5 stars a better version available elsewhere.......2007-02-16

    This film is available on dvd from more than one company. This "Saturday Matinee" edition is missing approximately fifteen minutes, its visually quality is poorer, and the subtitles are less well done. The "No Shame" edition comes as a box set of two Valerio Zurlini films (the other is "Violent Summer," 1959)and contains several important scenes lacking in the "Saturday Matinee" edition.

    4 out of 5 stars The Incredible Claudia Cardinale.......2005-06-12

    You loved her as the truly exotic love interest in "The Pink Panther" (released in 1964), but here you get a chance to see her at her Roman best in this 1960 Italian film (directed by Valerio Zurlini) as she plays a beautiful young woman who, suitcase in hand, follows her ex-lover to Parma. Dressed in billowing skirts and the kind of peasant blouse apparently only found in Italian stores, she follows her ex-lover only to fall in love with his adolescent brother. This is a well-designed and planned DVD of high quality and my only problem is with two other reviews that claim to have seen this particular release (Ivy Video) but note its poor quality; I suspect they have their distributors mixed becase unlike other releases of less qualtity, this DVD is not dubbed but subtitled, something that when watching Miss Cardinale perform is very, very necessary. Although a great beauty with eventual roles in French, Italian, British, and American films, she never reached the heights of popularity associated with Gina Lollobrigida or Sophia Loren. Too bad! Of the three, in my opinion, she's the sexiest and the most fun of the lot.

    4 out of 5 stars Interesting.......2007-04-11

    Would a man change for something better? Nice suggestion. Time brings on change I find this very unrealistic though. Good plot. I like the movie because there was very little subjective thoughts in it. This movie is a good way to going back to the days when tv was for children too.

    5 out of 5 stars For Love of Sidney.......2007-03-31

    This movie portrayed a successful, professional black business man in the 60's - -how refreshing. Sidney Poitier was not surprisingly, impressive, powerful and sexy!

    Terrific movie, good acting by all.

    5 out of 5 stars FOR LOVE OF IVY.......2007-03-13

    WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY ABOUT A SIDNEY POITIER MOVIE, BUT HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO SEE AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS ONE RANKS UP THERE WITH "IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT", AND "LILLIES OF THER FIELD". SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR OTHERS TO ENJOY.

    5 out of 5 stars FOR LOVE OF IVY.......2007-02-13

    ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. A REAL "CHICK FLICK", OR, FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T MIND A GOOD LOVE STORY! I LOVE SYDNEY POITIER AND ABBEY LINCOLN IN THIS FILM. HOWEVER, A MUCH YOUNGER BEAU BRIDGES REMINDS YOU OF WHAT A GREAT ACTOR HE IS, AND CARROLL O'CONNOR -- ALTHOUGH ONLY SEEN IN JUST A FEW SCENES -- FULLY COMMANDS HIS ROLE AS THE FATHER.

    5 STARS WITHOUT A DOUBT!

    5 out of 5 stars "A Commanding Performance".......2007-02-13

    Sidney Poitier is absolutely wonderful in this movie. I especially loved the end because he turns over a new leaf! This shows he didn't really like his night job at all, and that a good woman can help a good man see his true potential for better things. I really enjoyed watching it.
