    Shallow Hal is a 2001 romantic comedy film starring Gwyneth Paltrow as Rosemary Shanahan, Jack Black as Hal Larsen and Jason Alexander as Mauricio.

    Co-starring in the film are Rene Kirby, Joe Viterelli, and Brooke Burns. In addition, motivational speaker Tony Robbins has a small role as himself.

    Jack Black's ex-girlfriend, Laura Kightlinger, and Tenacious D bandmate, Kyle Gass, have supporting roles, with Molly Shannon and Bruce McGill in cameo roles.

    It was directed by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly (director of There's Something About Mary).

    In an interview with The Guardian on 27 January 2006, Paltrow admitted that Shallow Hal was in the category of "shite" films that she made only for money.
