Gwyneth Paltrow dons a fat suit and pretends she knows what it's like to carry a few (well, about 200) extra pounds in this comedy from the Farrelly brothers. Prepare to be mildly offended (and intermittently amused) by Hal (Jack Black), a man who only goes for the most attractive gals, which in his mind means the slender, supermodel type. That is until he's hypnotised by a motivational speaker (Tony Robbins) into only seeing a woman's inner beauty. Hal then finds himself falling for sweet-natured Rosemary (Paltrow) who, in his eyes, meets his pre-trance criteria when in fact she's a bit heftier than he's been led to believe. A surprisingly tame offering from the Farrellys, this is more romance than comedy, and those expecting Dumb and Dumber-style gross-out laughs will be disappointed. However, if the premise doesn't offend, it's an enjoyable way to pass the time.

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.
