Leave your thoughts about Shallow Hal.
| TradesAlex KeenAs long as the concept does not offend you, Shallow Hal should successfully entertain and charm you. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe movie is shrewd by giving the bulk of its piggish dialogue to Alexander, an actor incapable of projecting genuine cruelty on screen. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThe Farrelly Brothers have become Smart and Smarter! |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonIn order to make sense of their premise, the Farrellys end up endorsing the very idea of beauty they're supposedly trying to attack. |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekMay be the best Farrellys movie yet, even though it doesn't live up to the pair's usual level of uproarious, crass comic genius. They're learning, movie by movie, to articulate ideas that are more and more sophisticated, without being oppressively heavy-handed. |
| CinenganosAlex Ramirezsi lo que buscan son guarradas gratuitas y humor corporal, quizá salgan contrariados, o hasta algo confundidos con el tono moral y la idea central que expresa la película. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe Farrelly brothers are fresh out of ideas with this dull effort, a kind of Farrelly Lite. They have replaced intentional bad taste with the unintentional sort. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineA comedy that is as lame in its storytelling as it is in its physical execution. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperWe've seen so many crummy comedies that try to be There's Something About Mary or something like this. And the Farrelly brothers come to the rescue and show us how it's done. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversFor the first time, the Farrellys seem to be embarrassed by their own crudeness. For the first time, they should be. |
