Because no one wants to see a really hot charming man with an 'average' woman. If movies had this, then no one would go and watch it.
The truth is, that looks and beauty is the most important thing for a guy to look for in a woman, but for a woman, personality / sense of humor, etc is more important. So thats why we see that in the real world, and thats why we also see it in the movies.
It's part of life =)
And the fact of the matter is that there are way more attractice women than there are attractive men, so women have no choice really lol.

"Way more"?
It also depends on where one is located in the world, as the gender ratios vary. It looks like in China where a boy is usually valued more than a girl by a previous generation, there are going to be a few million men that won't have a woman to possibly marry or have a child or more with, according to the documentary China Rises.
Anyhow, I haven't watched it, but for Shallow Hal, it's plot according to IMDb is "A shallow man falls in love with a 300 pound woman because of her "inner beauty"." It isn't very deep though most likely, judging by the title.

Yeah, it's just that the 300 pound woman is played by Gwyneth Paltrow, portraying the "inner beauty" of Rosemary as "outer beauty" most of the time.
Cf. the discussions on the Shallow-Hal-Board.
