Just so...so bad

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

There are many problems with this movie but the biggest is: IT's NOT FUNNY. Not even a single bit.The lead guy (Rob Schneider) is as funny as cancer... seriously bad undergraduate stuff that looks more like a church campfire sketch than a PG movie. Honestly this makes Mr Bean look sophisticated and mature... The supporting cast are as interesting as a dial tone; even the ones thrown in for the "eye-candy" factor weren't especially attractive.Another problem is that this movie is as sanitised as the Brady Bunch. You almost expect Alice to pop up somewhere with some idiotic line and that catatonic look on her face.But in spite of the goody two shoes treatment, the level of racism in this movie is through the roof. From the Asian woman who works painting nails in the mall who speaks "Engrish", the old black guy working in the men's toilet, the young black guy who liked the fat chick with the big bum the list of ugly stereo types goes on and on and on.In spite of using racial vilification and bullying to prop it up, this train wreck falls flat on its face.Watching this movie was a truly vile experience; which is quite an achievement for a "comedy".

Jessica Spencer (Rachel McAdams) is a mean-girl cheerleader captain. She and her friends April (Anna Faris), Lulu (Alexandra Holden) and Keecia/Ling Ling (Maritza Murray) rule the school. Jessica steals a pair of ancient magical earrings. She drops one of the earrings which is picked up by ugly thief Clive (Rob Schneider). They both put on an earring and their bodies get switched. Jessica convinces her friends but struggles to figure out her new body.The movie lucked out by having Rachel McAdams as mean girl Jessica. It doesn't take full advantage of the unforeseen advantage. Rachel playing a man is hilarious. She's much funnier than Rob Schneider. Rob is doing his stupid idiocy which is fine. Rachel comes in and steals the movie every time. It's the disappointment of what this movie could have been.

So how many movies have you seen where a girl becomes a guy and a guy becomes a girl? Many, right? Well this movie is no different and is just like the rest. Jessica (McAdams) is a an arrogant teenager who loves hanging out with her girlfriends. One day she steals a pair of voodoo earrings from a store which in turn out to have super powers. The earrings, if worn by 2 different people, would ensure that their bodies get exchanged but the soul remains the same. Jessica's body gets exchanged with a low-life criminal (Schneider) who manages to find one of the missing earrings. Jessica now needs to live in a mans body and needs to convince her friends of her story and take their help in finding her true body back. The movie is a load of utter trash and is not even remotely funny. The only funny bit is watching Schneider in being a girl, not cause its funny but because he makes a fool of himself.

An attractive and popular teenager who is mean spirited toward others, finds herself in the body of an older man, and must find a way to get back to her original body.This review is coming from a fan of Rob's "The Animal." Although stupid, the film packs in fun and great humor. So through my liking of THAT, I suspected liking this one. Wrong. The Hot Chick has a great premise, similar to "Freak Friday." I thought it would be great because Rob is surely great for this role. But once things start kicking in, I started to lose my interest. The humor seemed a bit lame at places, but it had it's redeeming places. The whole 'ancient' background wasn't needed and the antics of each we were not all that great. First off, I'm not calling this a bad film. It was funny in places. But sadly, that is ALL it combines. Humor... Nothing more, nothing less. The acting was average at best and everything else was half of what I expected. So, unforgivably, the time lacked what "The Animal" had. It had heart and great humor to add. But this film only gives us some few entertaining scenes and abruptly stops it's course. If that's what you like, dumb films, then this surely would be a great pick. But if you enjoy smart and intellectual films and the occasional punch of goofiness, I wouldn't settle down for this one. That's a cut. 5/10.
