Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

atomiccrm Totally love this movie when I was a kid and now I'm 18 years old. I don't know why movie has so many negative reviews? Well, everyone's a critic including me. Always remembering the body swap spell between popular school senior Jessica and lowlife criminal named Clive. I've this a 8 out of 10. Atomic-CRM OUT!

xsophietaylorx The Hot Chick is so under rated I don't understand how people cannot like it! The film is so harmless it really is just fun to watch. The bad ratings are just not fair the film is a simple comedy film. My personal favourite scene which I found myself crying and laughing at is in the locker room when Billy is saying how much he likes Jessica all these lovely love quotes I found myself crying at the poor cuteness of it but then laughing at Rob Scheidners role in the scene, It really is hysterical actually had me howling Overall the film is just harmless fun and enjoyable to watch many times through out the film I found myself smiling All though it isn't no Oscar winning comedy film it is worth a watch definitely.

Jackson Booth-Millard I had heard the title of this film before, and I assumed because of the lead actor it was meant to be rated terrible, but I was surprised to see it had some positive things said, so I decided I had to see if I would find it funny. Basically Jessica Spencer (Rachel McAdams) is a popular and attractive high school student, with friends April (Scary Movie's Anna Faris), Keecia (Maritza Murray), and Lulu (Alexandra Holden), but she has low opinions of others, including overweight Hildenburg (Megan Kuhlmann) and goth like Eden (Sam Doumit), and she has her rivals, like Bianca (Maria-Elena Laas). One day the girls visit a mall and find a shop full of African stuff, and Jessica spots a pair of ancient earrings, the shop keeper cannot sell them to her though because of their high value, so she steals them. At the same time, small time criminal Clive Maxtone (Rob Schneider) is robbing a gas station, and in the process he is forced to pretend to be the attendant for the girls, and Jessica accidentally drops one of the earrings which he picks up, and back at home they both put one of the pair on their ear. The next morning, the curse put on the earrings has caused them to swap bodies, so Jessica has become Clive, and vice versa, and this comes at a bad time because Jessica (Schneider) is meant to take part in a cheerleaders competition and there is the prom. After convincing best friend April and the other who she is, and forced to show her new penis, they have to investigate why she has swapped bodies, and find a way to restore her, and in the meantime all she can do is try to be manly. They do eventually find out about the cursed earrings, and returning to the shop the shopkeeper explains how they work and that the only way to swap back again is to find the other one, or it will be permanent. Jessica lives with April in the meantime and manages to secure two manly jobs, and her own parents cleaner also trying to rekindle their relationship, and as the school janitor, and she spies on her boyfriend Billy (Mrs. Doubtfire's Matthew Lawrence) who loves her. She is also spying on April's boyfriend Jake (Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd's Eric Christian Olsen), who is having it off with another girl, and as time goes by April is falling in love with the new Jessica. As all this has been going Clive, inside Jessica's body, has been forced into buying period products, but he has been making money using the body he now owns to get away with a lot, making money off of men, seducing them in their cars, Billy included. After winning the cheer leading competition, it comes to the night of the prom, Jessica taking April, and she manages to seemingly convince Billy of her identity too, but he runs away in disgust and unwillingness to give into feelings he had before. Hildenburg sees Clive on the news, and all the girls go to a pole dancing club, where he has been Jessica's body to get high tips, and both earrings are recovered, and put on Jessica and Clive return to their rightful bodies. Jessica makes up with Billy and they share a true love kiss, Clive is arrested, but escapes, still wearing lingerie, and picked up by a homosexual bartender that as Jessica his body had seen before. Also starring Licence to Kill's Robert Davi as Stan, Melora Hardin as Carol, Adam Sandler as Bongo playing shop assistant, Fay Hauser as Mrs. Thomas, Jodi Long as Korean Mother, Matt Weinerg as Booger, and Dick Gregory as Bathroom Attendant. Schneider is certainly what makes this film what it is, and he creates most of the laughs with his committed feminine side with girly mannerisms that make him look very camp, I admit they could have shown a bit more of McAdams being manly, but it doesn't matter much. The body swap concept is something I have seen numerous times, Freaky Friday is the obvious example, but this was probably the first time I'd seen man swap with woman, and it is done in a most amusing fashion that actually works, a fun comedy. Worth watching!

david-sarkies To put it simply, this movie was complete and utter rubbish. Yes, it did have a few amusing parts to it, but simply put, it was rubbish. It would be very tempting to simply end the review here, but I guess I have to outline it a bit more to point out why I consider it rubbish. I should note that for some very bizarre reason I watched this film a second time, but maybe it was so I could watch it again just to remind myself of how rubbish it actually it.The movie is about a young girl, Jessica, in her final year of highschool, who wakes up one morning to discover that she is a man. The movie then follows the apparently comical adventures that Jessica has as a man and her interrelations with her friends, particularly how she attempts to convince them that she is who she says she is. In a sense Jessica has an epiphany. At the beginning of the film she believes that her life is perfect, and for some reason (okay, there is a reason, and that is because she stole some earrings from some mystic shop) her perfect world is shattered because of this event.Half the problem with this film is that it takes an incredible amount of acting skill for a man to play a woman. This isn't a Mrs Doubtfire man playing a woman (or any number of Shakespearian plays where a woman plays a man) but it is a woman in a man's body, so being able to perform all of the little nuances of a woman, without actually going overboard, is difficult at best. However, any movie in which a man becomes a woman (or vice versa) is going to be a comedy, and is also going to be overboard.I can't really write about this film without writing about some aspects of homosexuality. This is where a lot of the laughs in the film come about, not that Jessica actually goes ahead with anything beyond kissing her best friend, but then again this is theoretically heterosexual, because she is a man, physically. However, particularly when they are in the nightclub trying to find a solution to Jessica's problems, it is clear that she is still speaking and acting as if she were a girl, which raises a few eyebrows, and of course there is the scene in the toilet where she attempts to work out how to use her waterworks.In the short run, this movie is one of those teenage highschool comedies with cheap sight gags and slapstick. It is not in-depth in its themes or its characterisations, and the characters are shallow at best. Granted, Jessica is forced to confront the fact that she annoys people with her belief that she is perfect, however it is a simply 'I'm sorry' and everybody is best friends again. At the end of this film I am left doubting that Jessica actually learnt anything from this entire affair, beyond being grateful that she is back in her old body again. Yes, she does come to learn about true friendship, and also that her boyfriend really does love her, as opposed to her best friend's boyfriend, who is little more than a jerk, but still, there really is, in the end, little to take home from this film.
