The concept of the movie sounds fun and interesting. Have you ever wanted to see the true beauty of each person?
It's a rather interesting question to say the least. The movie starts Jack Black (Kung fu Panda franchise, Jumanji 2) and Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in love). So the story starts with Hal (Black), who wants to date the prettiest woman on Earth. Recently, he started to date Jill (Susan Ward), but she didn't really like him that much, and she thinks that he only cares about women's appearance rather then personality. But on one average or not so average day he meets a life coach Tony Robbins who "opens" Hal's eyes and now he can see people's inner beauty. Later, Hal falls in love with a person named Rosemary (Paltrow) who seems to him to be the most beautiful girl ever. But she's actually, well, not a model and everyone, including Mauricio (Jason Alexander) are shocked about his decision.
I like the whole moral of the story is that the appearance is not the most important thing in the world, but rather the personality and intentions. Rosie is an extremely nice person, she works at the hospital and helps children with health issues not because of money or popularity, but because she actually wants to help everyone who needs care. Thanks to her, Hal's perspective of view changes on women and just people in general. He was a shallow guy, but thanks to Tony, he became more tolerant. Some people after this review will think that this is just a boring movie about how personality is more important then the looks. But I forgot to mention that it's also a comedy. Sure, it's not laugh out loud, but there are moments that will make you smile. But I must admit, I laughed so hard when both were on a pool party and Rosie jumped into it and the splash was so big, that a little boy somehow fell on a tree. Not saying that overweight people are bad, infact, the movie tells us the opposite, but this scene was hilarious.
Overall, it's a good movie that both men and women need to watch. Sure it's not the absolute best of it's theme (Beauty and the beast is), but a nice story that is both thoughtful and entertaining.
