Storyline
Following the advice of his dying father, Hal dates only women who are physically beautiful. One day, however, he runs into self-help guru Tony Robbins, who hypnotizes him into recognizing only the inner beauty of women. Hal thereafter meets Rosemary, a grossly obese woman whom only he can see as a vision of loveliness. But will their relationship survive when Hal's equally shallow friend undoes the hypnosis?

Hal: Umm, ok. Do you have a problem with compliments?
Rosemary: Look, I know what I am and I know what I'm not. I'm the girl who, you know, gets really good grades and who's not afraid to be funny. And I'm the girl who has a lot of friends who are boys and no boyfriends. I'm not beautiful, ok, and I never will be. And I'm fine with that. But when you go around saying I'm something that I'm not, it's just, it's just not nice.

Trivia
Cameo: [Sage Bonnie Humphrey] Anthony Robbins' wife gets his autograph when he is coming out of the building and Jason Alexander comes to talk to him. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Hal meets the "good-looking" Ralph and Li'iBoy in the restaurant, it is obvious that the HEAVY Li'iBoy's voice is being badly dubbed for good-looking Li'iBoy (Ron Darling). At one point, the audio is "what's up bro" when he meets Hal, but he is clearly mouthing "what's up MAN". See more »Quotes
