As a boy, Hal Larson visits his reverend father on his deathbed. His father, delirious from painkillers, encourages Hal to never settle with the women he pursues in life and stresses the importance of appearances. As an adult, Hal, although having forgotten most memories of his father, spends his nights being rejected by beautiful women at night clubs with his friend Mauricio. He holds a steady job at JPS Funds, a financial institution run by president Steve Shanahan, but is dismayed after being denied a long-sought promotion. Hal is attracted to his neighbor Jill, who rejects him due to his shallow lifestyle. One day, Hal becomes trapped in an elevator with life coach Tony Robbins, who hypnotizes him into only seeing a person's inner beauty. Hal, not realizing he has been hypnotized, later meets Steve's morbidly obese daughter, Rosemary. Because of her kind and generous personality, Rosemary appears to Hal as a slender, beautiful trophy blonde and he is instantly smitten with her. Used to being overlooked due to her appearance, Rosemary initially interprets Hal's interest as mockery, but begins to date him once she realizes his feelings for her are sincere. Show more
