| Topic | Would Shallow Hal be called a toxic film now? |

It's been a while, but I remember gags like the girlfriend jumping into the pool and cutting 3/4ths of a birthday cake off to enjoy for herself being pretty shitty towards an exaggerated profile of fat people. The movie's about teaching a shallow prick the meaning of inner beauty, but it does that with the same fat person jokes that contribute to bullying. It's all fat jokes through and through but because Gwyneth Paltrow is the lead co-star, she's the butt of those gags as herself not as the eventual fat suit character that is revealed later, which I guess was that emotional moment the movie was tugging for. Looking back at it now, it's a very weird anomaly of charm and manipulation and probably done as good as that premise could possibly could get. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://media.giphy.com/media/WvQHBYW0q4TuxdAg61/giphy.gif https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 ...
