Watch Us Watch | Shallow Hal
Added 2025-05-23 22:00:06 +0000 UTCOhhhhh no.
Inspired by the bits that didn't age as well in Just Friends, my sister Jillian & I are continuing our educational research into whether or not various 2000's movies could be made today by watching a movie we KNOW has to have aged like milk.
Shallow Hal asks the question "what if larger people deserved love?" and it doesn't really answer that question so much as just keep asking it. Starring Jack Black, Gwyneth Paltrow in a f*t suit, and George Costanza, this movie would certainly be difficult to rewrite and make work in 2025... but I do think it's possible! Maybe!

2025-06-02 04:05:45 +0000 UTCvery bad, very very bad. matter of fact it's nearly unwatchable. But I'm so rom com brained that Jack Black's little win the girl back speech at the end made me tear up. Worst movie to ever make me cry. And this movie IS BAD!

2025-05-27 04:00:08 +0000 UTCnot joking when i say that watching this movie was one of my first memories. i was a small small child with pneumonia in a hospital room, absolutely miserable, watching george costanza's tail wag.

2025-05-25 14:45:29 +0000 UTCI like half agree with you about jack black cause he definetly styled himself to be goofy but sometimes I see pics of him when he was younger and am surprised by how conventionally handsome his face is. I think ppl talked abt him like he looked like seth rogan or jonah hill (sorry lol) just cause he was fat and goofy but he truly has like a pretty face when you ignore the expressions hes making and his haircut. I think thats what ppl mean when they say he was always hot, like he really does have a suaveness about him that is often overlooked because of his weight
