Jack Black just brought up the film project that he doesn’t particularly like.
Even though he had a successful career that many people would envy and the project itself received great reviews and achieved great success, the 2001 movie Shallow Hal in particular made him feel like a “sell-out.”
Black costarred with Gwyneth Paltrow as Hal, who, while lacking the perfect body, judges his dates based on the same criterion until a hypnotist puts him in a trance that allows him to see only inner beauty.
When Hal first meets Rose (Gwyneth Paltrow), a plus-sized lady who is ashamed of her weight, she is viewed as this stereotypically beautiful woman, which reflects her compassionate personality.
