100Unafraid of walking the fine line between the repellent and the human, Shallow Hal is wickedly funny but heartfelt.
-
80May be the best Farrellys movie yet, even though it doesn't live up to the pair's usual level of uproarious, crass comic genius. They're learning, movie by movie, to articulate ideas that are more and more sophisticated, without being oppressively heavy-handed.
-
60The surprisingly sweet Shallow Hal finds Peter and Bobby retreating to a gentler mode -- and, in the process, a far less funny one.
-
38A one-joke movie. What makes it misfire is that its one joke clashes with its one idea.

GaborA.6Holds it together for an even shorter amount of time than most Hollywood comedies, but the first hour or so is genuinely funny.
