Trama
Hal Larson (Jack Black), following his father's dying wish, only dates women he finds physically attractive. After a chance encounter with self-help guru Tony Robbins (Tony Robbins) at a dance club, Hal is hypnotized to see beyond physical appearance. He subsequently meets Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow), whom only he sees as beautiful despite her being overweight. They begin dating, and Hal's love for Rosemary grows. However, his shallow friend Joe (Jason Alexander) learns about the hypnosis and undoes it, causing Hal to see Rosemary's true appearance again. Confused and disheartened, Hal distances himself from Rosemary until he realizes his mistake. In the end, Hal rediscovers his love for Rosemary's inner beauty.
