Bad Hollywood makes PC booboo P.C. BOOMERANG 'Shallow Hal' faces heavy criticism Entertainment Weekly has uncovered intolerance in the new Hollywood release "Shallow Hal.” In the movie, Gwyneth Paltrow plays Rosemary, a warm-hearted Peace Corps volunteer who has a love affair with a guy named Hal. Through hypnotic suggestion, Hal is rendered temporarily blind to Rosemary's excess poundage. Sally E. Smith, editor-in-chief of BBW, a magazine for plus-size women, apparently believes the movie promotes weightism. "Every stereotype about fat people is reinforced,” says Smith. Maybe what upset BBW’s editor is the scene where the force of Rosemary's cannonball dive into a swimming pool propels a little boy into a tree. Smith says that Paltrow’s decision to wear a fat suit is "really no different from putting on blackface.''
