Himself is not a standard of masculinity, Hal is extremely selective in the choice of companion. He is only interested in impeccable beauties, and even the slightest flaw is capable of irrevocably alienating the fastidious character. As a result, all Larson's relations are short-lived.
In the elevator, he accidentally encounters the famouspsychologist and pours out his soul. Hal complains of pettiness, which prevents him from feeling truly in love and happy. The psychologist, who, incidentally, played the real author of best-selling books on self-development Anthony Robbins, imbued with the problem of Larson, hypnotizes him.

Hal Larson sees her bright inner world and projects this impression on the exterior, thanks to which she falls in love with Rosemary with all her heart. When Gwyneth Paltrow decided to take a walk in the finished makeup before the shooting, no one recognized her as a famous actress. Moreover, passers-by tried not to look her in the eye or as if they did not notice it at all.
