Schwer verliebt – Shallow Hal

SDP
Hal Larson sieht in den Frauen nur Δusserlichkeiten, sie mόssen perfekt sein, ansonsten kφnnen sie ihm den „Buckel runter rutschen“, dabei ist er auch nicht gerade eine Schφnheit! Als er in einem Aufzug stecken bleibt, diskutiert er mit dem ebenfalls darin festsitzenden Tony Robbins όber die Frauen. Robbins ist entsetzt όber die Meinung von Hal und hypnotisiert ihn, von da an sieht Hal immer nur schφne Frauen, auch wenn sie ein wenig mehr wiegen! So lernt Hal Rosemary kennen, sie hat zwar starkes άbergewicht, doch Hal sieht das nicht, im Gegenteil, er meint, sie sei perfekt! Beide verlieben sich ineinander, nicht nur die Bekannten von Hal sind όberrascht, auch Rosemarys Eltern, in dessen Firma Hal arbeitet. Die Eltern meinen, Hal will nur mit der Tochter zusammen sein, weil sie die Tochter vom Chef ist! Hals bester Freund Wilson sucht darauf Robbins auf und bittet ihn, die Hypnose rόckgδngig zu machen. Robbins verrδt Wilson das Codewort, was er natόrlich anwendet, darauf sieht Hal wie Rosemary wirklich aussieht. Trotzdem spόrt er immer noch ein komisches Gefόhl – er ist verliebt! Rosemary aber glaubt ihm nun nicht mehr...

Amόsante Komφdie von den Farrelly Brόdern. Die Farrellys protzen hier mit grossem Staraufgebot und vielen Witzen όber dicke Menschen. Wegen den „Dickenwitzen“ bekam der Film auch negative Kritik. Trotzdem ist der Film ganz lustig, wohl auch weil einige Stars gekonnt spielen. Paltrow musste die ganze Zeit einen so genannten „Dickenanzug“ anziehen, da sie ja sonst eigentlich eher schlank ist! Fazit: ganz witzig.
