10 Perfect Scenes In God-Awful Movies

In Shallow Hal, Jack Black plays a hopeless romantic who won't settle for any woman who isn't drop-dead gorgeous. When life coach, Tony Robbins, sees how deluded Hal is, he hypnotises him to only see women's inner beauty. Shortly after, he falls for a wonderful woman called Rosie (Gwyneth Paltrow), oblivious she's 300lbs.

Shallow Hal has a nice premise but is let down by uncreative jabs at the plus-sized community. No matter how creative the jokes are, it gets tiresome since most of them boil down to "You're fat."

However, there's one moment that isn't just touching, but heart-wrenching. When Hal visits Rosemary at the hospital she volunteers at, he meets a little girl called Cadence. He immediately warms to her, telling Cadence how beautiful she is, joking that she shouldn't be at the hospital since she's pretending to be sick.

But after the hypnotism spell wears off, he sees Cadence again, only to realise she's a burn victim. Not only is this a clever twist, it's this moment where Hal realises how wrong he's been to judge people for their appearance. If the movie had more harrowing scenes like this, Shallow Hal would be better remembered.
