** The same could be said of Hal himself, as given his reputation, he'd probably be spending a lot of time as a single man even after his CharacterDevelopment if Rosemary left him for good. The film shows all the female characters Hal flirts with rejecting him (or in Jill's case, at least at first), and strongly suggests that Rosemary is the first to accept his flirtations and also his first serious relationship.

She passes it off as a change of plans because her girlfriend bailed on her, but one does have to wonder if going out on a date with Hal was her plan all along. We only have her word on it, and the story about his friend may have been a lie to fool Hal.

** After all, which are Jill's feelings for Hal? At the beginning of the film, she rejects him, revealing with brutal sincerity that she is not attracted to him and considers him shallow. Days later, she is surprised to see Hal dancing with unattractive women and shocked to meet his new girlfriend, Rosemary. After catching Rosemary leaving Hal's apartment the next morning after the couple's first night of sex, Jill immediately begins to flirt shamelessly with Hal, even though she knows he's dating seriously. At their date in the third act, Jill says she was wrong about Hal and makes a comment that can be interpreted as malicious, saying that she saw the appearance of Hal's recent girlfriends and realized that he is pathologically unshallow. So has Jill always been in love with Hal and seeing him having a serious relationship with Rosemary aroused her feelings and made her decide to fight for her love? Or was Jill jealous of seeing Hal happy with a woman who is the exact opposite of her physically and saw Hal more as a trophy?

* QuestionableCasting:
** Creator/JackBlack as Hal. Yes, the intention of the movie is to portray Hal as a {{hypocrite}} because he demands such beauty in women when he himself is far from conventional beauty standards. But still, his contrast to the idealized Rosemary in the movie would be bigger with a more conventional attractive actor.
** Creator/GwynethPaltrow as fat Rosemary in a fat suit may also be that for viewers who think it would be better if the filmmakers had cast two different actresses, one for thin Rosemary and the other for fat Rosemary.

** Was Hal really brainwashed into becoming a converted ChubbyChaser by the hypnosis or was he a closeted one all along and his shallowness was either his way of projecting his insecurities or avoiding ridicule for pursuing the women he truly finds attractive/who would probably find him attractive? Mind you, he's (a) portrayed by ''Creator/JackBlack'' who isn't exactly a little guy himself and (b) once the love goggles are removed he still thinks Rosemary is beautiful.

** Another likely unintentional example, but while Rosemary’s weight is a frequent cause of jokes at her expense, one thing in her portrayal that is refreshingly unique is her eating habits. She is depicted as gluttonous but not greedy, and there is a difference. She’s shown eating a lot and enjoying stuffing herself to bursting, but she’s also shown giving food to poor people and helping take care of children in need, whereas usually a fat person would be depicted as being unwilling to part with any bite of food. When she downs the whole milkshake, she’s not trying to deprive Hal of anything out of spite, she’s just trying to fill herself up.
