SHALLOW HAL -- hands down. It has indie fave Jack Black, everyone's favorite actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and that loopy Farrelly Brothers script. The message is contained within the film and most people are going to love to see Jack falling for a woman that we see as a large woman but he sees as the lovely Gwyneth. This is the film that everyone has been talking about since early summer and I think this is by far the biggest potential success of the two.

I would book Black Knight over Shallow Hal any day. Hal looks like another Saving Silverman type box office bomb. Yes, Saving Silverman was Hilarious, but it did poorly at the box office.

Martin Lawrence usually does very well at the box office. Also, you can tell that FOX thinks Black Knight will do better, as they have it opening up over Thanksgiving Weekend, and Hal is opening earlier.

Hal looks funnier, but I would bet my 2 cents that Black Knight will kill Hal at the Box Office.
