Amazon.com: It's no surprise that The Hot Chick is stupid; what's remarkable is the ambition of its stupidity. After a hokey, Mummy-like prologue to establish the body-switching spell cast by an ancient pair of Abyssinian earrings, the low-concept lunacy begins when those earrings are divided, eons later, between a cruel-minded high school campus queen (Rachel McAdams) and a small-time crook (Rob Schneider), who switch bodies (externally he's the hot chick, and she's the vulgar sleazeball) and must cope with the consequences of their sudden gender crisis. This tired idea may seem fresh and funny to eight-year-olds and morons, but Schneider and first-time director Tom Brady (who wrote Schneider's The Animal) fail to fulfill the potential of their ripe comedic premise. McAdams plays a guy better than Schneider plays a girl (which explains her limited screen time), and the expected jokes (mostly involving urinals and awkward prom dates) are sluggishly uninspired. In a cameo role as a dreadlocked stoner, coproducer Adam Sandler offers only brief comedic respite. --Jeff Shannon
Perfect Comedy!!! This is a really awesome funny movie! It's like Rob Schneider's version of 'Freaky Friday'! A popular girl who takes things for granted named Jessica steals some cursed earrings from a store in the mall while with her hot girl-friends. They go to a gas station that's being robbed by Clive Maxtone. Clive pretends to be the gas station employee. Somehow, she drops an earring and Clive finds it. The next day, Jessica finds out she's switched bodies with Clive. She tries to tell her best friend April about it, but she doesn't believe her at first. Throughout the movie, a lot of hilarious situations happen such as Jessica trying to use the restroom standing up, and getting her boyfriend to believe. Across town, Clive is in Jessica's body and taking advantage of the situation by becoming a stripper and making more money. Later, Jessica learns some valuable lessons. If you have a great sense of humor, you'll love THE HOT CHICK!!!
Hot Chick This movie is so funny! No matter how many times I see it, I laugh like a fool when it is on.
Rob Schneider should be beaten It's hard to put this any other way, The Hot Chick is one of worst movies in the history of cinema. Frankly, I'm amazed that any serious actor would even give this pile of garbage a second look, and since Rachel McAdams and Anna Farris are the only serious actresses - and that's being quite generous - it's clear that everyone involved is either a career masochist, or completely oblivious to how bad the idea for this movie was when they read the script. And if it's the latter, then they have the decision making skills of an infant.
The plot of this movie - and I'm using the words plot and movie loosely - is based off of the tired storyline where one person has their personality switched with another. In this case, it's an incompetent male theif (Rob Schneider) being switched with the typical, prettiest girl in the class (Rachel McAdams) who also happens to be heinously mean.
It's up to the girl (Schneider) and her/his friends to find out how and with whom the switch took place. Unfortunately, the people behind this travesty decided it would be a good idea to have Rob Schneider not only dress in women's clothes, but also chose a size that would only have worked if he were 50 lbs. lighter. Aside from that, the movie is awkward in that "accidentally waving to someone who's waving to someone behind you" sort of way. From nail-painting scenes, pillow fights, and an entire movie full of scenes of a 40-year old guy hanging out with three teenage girls, it just fails on every single possible level.
The most preposterous part of the entire movie is the fact that a teenage girl goes missing for an entire week, and her parents hardly even notice.
I'm sure there's a message in there, a completely insane message of tranny-acceptance or something like that, and an completely failed attempt at cohesion, but I started to feel nauseous after about 30 minutes of seeing Schneider's ugly mug in Hello Kitty t-shirts; so, I obviously had to fight through the rest of the trainwreck.
Rob's Best Movie Here is a movie that not only is funny but I thought relatively wholesome in its message. I was really impressed with Rob's acting. He really engendered the qualities of each personality to a T. I think switcheroo movies are great exercises for actors to stretch their abilities. Too bad Rob other movies other than the first Duce Bigalow have not been as good. The Hot Chick however is one I can watch over and over again and profusely enjoy.
I bought it and I'm not sorry! Yes, as many have pointed out, The Hot Chick is a stupid movie with a stupid plot. However, if you are looking for some outrageous laughs, this is the DVD for you.
Rob Scheider is cute, funny and his performance is a scream. I am not sorry I purchased it. So, sue me.
