Shallow Hal is about the title character, played by Jack Black, who is hypnotized to view women differently. He falls for a woman, Gwyneth Paltrow, who he sees as being thin, while in reality, she is morbidly obese.

Along Hal’s journey, we see different women through his eyes compared to how they look in real life. But there is a barrage of fat jokes that would ruffle more than a few feathers. While the message and moral of the movie are about not being superficial and seeing people’s inner beauty, the execution would likely still offend people.
