'dont judge a book by its cover' and whatnot.
.
as a rule, i hate jack black. and gwyneth paltrow was never one of my favourites. especially in pink.
so maybe im just biased.
but the movie is as its title promises, shallow.

the dude is hypnotised into seeing everyone for their inner beauty, falling in love with someone he sees as 'hot' when shes really a fatty. through a couple of incidents, he is unhypnotised and learns to love people for who they really are, and not for what they look like.
.
out of 10, id give it a 3.
but then maybe its just jack black.
