- In the film, Gwyneth wants to break through to become a fat man weighing more than 300 kilograms. For this reason, she had to wear a "fat costume" made of artificial fat to achieve the effect. This suit is very uncomfortable and even breathless after putting it on. She also needs to stick the plastic mask on her face, each time it takes 3 hours to stick, and it takes another 1 hour to remove makeup.
- Gwyneth once took to the streets as a fat girl "Rosemary" during the filming, and went to hang out in the hotel lobby, hoping to learn about the daily life of a fat man.
- The film is the first time that Jack Black has played the leading role, and he has performed weight loss specifically for the role of Hal.
- There is a scene where Rosemary jumps into the swimming pool and splashes huge water splashes. When shooting, two very thick hoses were used to spray water jets from both sides of Rosemary to simulate huge splashes.

A very shameless and disgusting movie on the surface that it is impossible to judge people by appearance, but in fact, after hypnosis, women in the eyes of the male protagonist still see people as standard aesthetic officials. Gwyneth is also surprisingly beautiful in this film.

For GwynethPaltrow's sake, give it a passing score..

Hal: See, the problem is I'm kinda picky
Tony Robbins: What do you mean, picky?
Hal: Well, for instance, I like 'em real young. Like, did you ever see Paulina in her first "Sports Illustrated" layout?
Tony Robbins: You're looking for a young Paulina type?
Hal: Well, that face, but with better headlights. You know how hers have kind of dimmed lately? Heidi Klums beams would do. And her teeth. Or, ooh, that Britney Spears girl. She's got great knockers. But she's a tad muscular. Uh, actually, you know what? Her ass would do, too, if she had a better grille. Like, uh, Michelle Pfeiffer back when she did "Grease 2". But she'd have to be a little smilier than Michelle. Kinda like Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, before she got Stamosed. But not as skinny. Someone a little meatier, like Heidi. But without the accent. You know those accents: yah-yah-yah-yah. They really get old fast. You know what I mean. Someone like that.

Tony Robbins: Hal, don't you think you're being a bit shallow here in the way you look at women?
Hal: Well, no! You know, I'd like her to be into culture and shit, too.
Tony Robbins: Ok Hal, hypothetical situation; Which do you prefer, a girlfriend missing one breast or half a brain?
Hal: Hmmm, toughie. What about the remaining breast? Is it big?
