No surprise that Gwyneth Paltrow finds Shallow Hal a disaster and embarrassing and not performing sexual favors for Harvey Weinstein. Which is how she won her Oscar for her shit role in that shit movie. Just like Jennifer Lawrence among others.
shareShallow Hal is a great comedy
Way back in the day, in the DVD bonus features, I saw a featurette showing Paltrow talking in an interview about her going around restaurants and stuff in full costume, including fat suit. She talked about how people wouldn't look her in the eye and other nonsense showing how much she had learned. Like when Tyra Banks LARPed as a hobo. Super out-of-touch stuff
She cannot distance herself from her own air-headedness, so she has to distance herself from the movie
