The Hot Chick (2002) Reviews

• Could have been stupid, but was actually very funny

  cine-112003-05-16

  Yet another variation on the "switching bodies" theme (Freaky Friday, Like Father Like Son, etc). This one was different, though, in that it involved a transgender switch and that, along with convincing acting by Rob Schneider, made it work. A little slow to start, but once it got going, I found myself laughing repeatedly throughout. A comedy well worth watching for lots of laughs.

• Surprisingly funny comedy

  miguelsanchez692003-06-26

  First off let it be said, I'm a pretty big fan of comedies. I rather enjoyed Schneider's 1st film Deuce Bigelow, but gagged at the supreme awfulness of the Animal. The script to the Hot Chick is surprisingly good and well-organized (though it's premise is basically a raunchier riff on 80s body switch movies like vice-versa and freaky friday without any moralizing). It may not be original (similar to my other favorite comedy so far this year, old school) and it may not win any oscars , but it's funny, follows an established formula well, and doesn't deteriorate in the third act like a lot of comedies I've seen as of late into moralizing or seemingly tacked on drama. Rob Schneider and Anna Farris are incredibly funny together. Watch for a cameo by Adam Sandler. If youre in the mood for citizen kane or next year's oscar winners, look elsewhere. If you're in the mood for good, dumb, fairly raunchy fun to watch with a couple of friends - this movie's great.

• A funny, interesting movie

  I just saw this movie and I really liked it. It is funny, and yes, painful at times. But it has an interesting message - there is a scene where Jessica's little brother Booger is running after the family in the red high heels. Does his parents have a fit? No. His dad says, "if you are going to wear those, you better learn to run in them." Accepting and warning at the same time. You also notice at the end of the movie that the girls that were enemies at the beginning of the movie, have become friends by the end. They overcome their differences, work together, and resolve a problem. This is a good movie, and I recommend it. Not every film you watch has to be Oscar level. Entertainment and education can come in many forms.

• Surprisingly Funny

  A very popular girl named Jessica(Rachel McAdams)accidently switches body with a man who is also a criminal(Rob Schneider)because of a pair of magical earrings. Now Jessica is trapped in a man's body and along with her best friend April(Anna Faris)she must find her body before it's too late but on the good side, Jessica learns a lot about herself, her family and her friends that she did not know before. I didn't have any high expectations for this movie but surprisingly it wasn't so bad and it had a few very funny moments. Oh, and by the way, Anna Faris is the real hot chick in this movie! Anyways, I would give The Hot Chick 6.5/10.

• This Hot Chick enjoyed it

  I wasn't really looking forward to this movie at all. I haven't seen a lot of Rob Schneider, but what little I did see was usually grossout. Needless to say I was expecting more of that with this little flick. The movie though turned out to be...well pretty awesome. It's not going to win an oscar, but it's certainly far from the movie I expected to see. Sure there were the cliches (popular blonde cheerleaders, fat chicks with food in their hands at all times, scary goths)...but somehow they worked together. It turns out that those cliches are simply empty pictures that we get of other people. Who know a Rob Schneider movie could manage to point that out?? As for Mr. Schneider....well he was pretty darn good. I thought it would be incredibly silly watching him as a girl. It was at times, but overall I think this movie pulled out some of his best comic acting. He was able to be sensitive and funny and pull it off believably. I'd like to see him at least nominated for his role ;) The other actors in the movie...mostly a bunch of nameless beauties...also pulled their weight. The characters were pretty well fleshed out (which was nice to see since my last movie was MAID IN MANHATTEN where no thought at all seemed to have been put into character development.) Matthew Lawrence was looking hot as usual :) I give the movie 9 out of 10 stars. See it if you want to laugh. It's actually worth the money :)
