The story revolves around Hal (Jack Black) who, taking his dying father's advice, dates only the embodiments of female physical perfection. But all that 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 is smitten after meeting the obese and homely Rosemary, as he sees her kindness and humour translated into physical perfection (Paltrow).

After Hal's equally shallow friend, Maruricio (Jason Alexander), undoes the hypnosis, Hal must face unrecognisable Rosemary and make a fateful decision.
