Film 66 - Shallow Hal

One of those movies that had more than you'd see on the surface. If you look at it shallowly you see a comedy about fat people and good looking people and how one who sees himself as the latter eventually finds a way to see past looks and love a fat person.

The other way of looking at is is that it's a very funny film that contains some important debates about what beauty is and how judgemental our society is.

I prefer to look at it the latter way, but any right thinking person should find thinking about it that way deeply uncomfortable. And that's a good thing.
