Watched "Date Movie" - as its Chinese name: a bad movie. The name in Chinese categorizes itself as the series of "Scrary Movie" but in the love movie version because it's "copying" from other movies. What made me think it's a bad movie because in contrary to "Shallow Hal", the girl attracts other guys because she went for a big surgery (it meants to make people laugh with the operation, but it's not funny at all - but a bit disgusting) to make herself beautiful. It promotes superficiality.
Shallow Hal is something that tells people to understand and appreciate the beauty inside. All the "beautiful" people in this movie were fat, short, not good looking (I'll never use ugly as it's a comparative term and nothing can be really "ugly" except people with evil mind).
If you have not watched this movie, you may reconsider whether it's worth watching. Reconsider thoroughly ...
