Shallow Hal Movie (2001)
A shallow man falls in love with a 300 pound woman because of her \"inner beauty\".
Following the advice of his dying father, Hal dates only women who are physically beautiful. One day, however, he runs into self-help guru Tony Robbins, who hypnotizes him into recognizing only the inner beauty of women. Hal thereafter meets Rosemary, a grossly obese woman whom only he can see as a vision of loveliness. But will their relationship survive when Hal's equally shallow friend undoes the hypnosis?

Great work with many moral lessons. Hal handled the reality of the little girl in the Hospital's burn victim unit superbly - how everyone should! Great third-person perspective done very creatively. If you appreciate morals and ethics, you will relate well with this movie - that was the focus, not making fun of obesity which more younger viewers might think.
Great movie 
Great movie! Teaches people what is most important!
True Beauty comes from within!
