Shallow Hal
2001 · Film · 114 min
Directed by Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly
After taking his dying father's advice, Hal dates only the embodiments of female physical perfection. But that all changes after Hal has an unexpected run-in with self-help guru Tony Robbins. Intrigued by Hal's shallowness, Robbins hypnotizes him into seeing the beauty that exists even in the least physically appealing women. Hal soon falls for Rosemary, but he doesn't realize that his gorgeous girlfriend is actually a 300-pound-not-so-hottie.

Ever seen the movie Shallow Hal?
Would explain it
And they're unhygenic. Sheep farmers for instance routinely cut the tails of their flock because it is difficult to shear and becomes a breeding ground for blowfly larvae. That said, i saw a movie called Shallow Hal(2001) which had a scene in which a man was shown to have a tail. Now it may have been cgi, but it made me think that there must be a minority of humans with that mutation.
What the hell... Must be the 2013 movie. Everything on this search is shallower than Shallow Hal.
Once or twice a year I'd prune out all the movies that I was certain I'd never want to watch again (Shallow Hal, I'm looking squarely at you).
I did the same thing with CD's when I was younger. Thankfully, the universe ran out of music that I like.
