Summary: Funny as all hell!
Review: This movie is a pleasant surprise for me. (...). Because of this, I set my expectations to the point where I could enjoy Little Nicky (one of the worst movies I have ever seen). How wrong I was! This movie can make me happy on some of the worst days. It also teaches one major lesson: what's on the inside is more important than what's on the outside. I think that Rob Schneider did a terrific job at acting the part of Jessica/Clive, and made the movie accurate (in a certain sense anyway). He also did just about everything to make someone laugh, and it worked. I admire how bold he was doing this and wonder how silly it felt. I think that this movie should be recommended to people who can open their mind and enjoy a good movie. (...). Just don't go into the movie expecting oscar-worthy performance. Go in expecting a fun movie.
Overall, I highly recommend this movie.
***** out of 5 (due mostly to the side-splitting comedy, the decent performances, and actually in the romantic sense).
P.S: At first I thought it would be a chick-flick all the way, but that wasn't the case. Oh, and by the way, I'm a boy and I enjoyed this movie. Don't call me stupid, it was really a good movie to me and to many other people who gave this movie 5 stars.

Summary: No strangling the dancers
Review: You have seen it a million times from "Freaky Friday" (Disney) to "Vice Versa" with Judge Reinhold. This movie is one of the most formula stories around. So now it boils down to if you like the acting style and the "one liners." Or if you just like to ogle young girls and extra hairy guys.The basic story is simple. A person who in intentionally rude, but unconscious of the rudeness, soon will find tables turned (gaining or losing an appendage in the process) and learn to feel for the other person. Then again it is the story of making mugging and dancing a little easer if you have the right body. For an excellent version, that excels at exchanging bodies, watch "Goodby Charlie." Debby Reynolds did not have to act like a baseball player to emphasize the change.

Summary: Great Fun Great Fun
Review: It was one of Rob Schnieders best moives. I had my doubts but it was surprisingly good. Anna Faris was a good idea for this movie. SHe had all the goofyness and air-headedness that no one else could have ever done in the part of April, which she played wonderfully!
Jessica and April are populare Cheerleaders and think that they control the world and Jessica steals a pair of ear rings that switch bodies for the 2 people that wear them. And she switiches bodies with Rob, who is a thief. And she ( he ) wakes up the next morning with an umm man hood. And tries to escape and tells April what happened and April wants to see her umm hood, throughout the whole movie as they try to find who might have done this to Jessica and they suspect a science nerd and a witch-wannabe and they end up in a club tearing shirts off cheerleaders and Rob tries to pee wit his hood and watches other men do it and say they do it well...some what of a disturbing movie, with cracks on gayness ( april develops feelings for Jessica in her male form ) and it ends up they find Jessicas body in a Strip club and so the story goes...
It really doens't have much taste but it is better than any other of Robs movies except for Duece Bigalo Male Gigalo, which I loved!!!! But this was good but long with the 105 minute mark! But I recommend this to a lot of people, unless you want no fun in your life or are an Ex marine or something along those lines...But it was a funny, sweet, off the wall movie that anyone could enjoy....well almost anyone....

Summary: Funny... if you're still in Junior High
Review: It's official! The days of 'Happy Gilmore' and 'Billy Madison' are over. After seeing 'Little Nicky' a few years back, I prayed to the movie gods that it was just a fluke. But after suffering through 104 minutes of school-age jokes and tired sexual inuendo, I have lost hope in seeing anything from these producers that doesn't insult my intelligence. To be fair, some folks will like this movie. Sadly, I'm not one of them.

Summary: Everything
Review: This movie has everything!
It focuses mostly on the lives (hint: romance, girls love this stuff) of teens, but with a comedic approach that will be funny to guys and girls; even if they're not into teen movies. Rob Schneider being in the movie (and it being a Happy Madison production)gives it an appeal to older guys, as well.
Silly? Yes. But still funny? Definitely.
Ignore the editorial review that says this movie will only appeal to 8 year olds who haven't heard all the gender jokes yet. Just watch the movie and judge for yourself.

Summary: I didn't love it,but it has its funny moments.
Review: I must admit.This movie was a little funny.However,I would not consider buying it on DVD.It makes a fine rentle,but paying over $20 for this DVD is not a great idea.You probably know the storyline by now,and if you don't,well thats just too bad.The storyline has been done several times in some movies such as 'The Animal' (hmmmm...).Some parts of 'The Hot Chick' were pretty lame while others could be pretty funny.This isn't Rob Schneider's most impressive acting but its not too bad.So overall,its what I said it was.A good rentle,but definitely not worth buying.Unless you warship Rob Schneider and are his absolute biggest fan in the entire world...

Summary: More fun than a barrel of Monkeys!
Review: This movie was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I watched it at a pre-screening at the movie theatre for which I was working with two friends, and we were literally rolling in the isles. It didn't hurt that the three of us identify as 'queer' but this movie truly had us in stitches! Keep an eye on the girl's younger brother; that is where most of the laughs are! Great work, and so worth seeing!

Summary: Stupid Teenage Girls? Yep. But in a Great Movie!
Review: When it began, and I was subjected to truly "clueless" teenage girl cheerleaders who made me sick, I thought I was going to puke. Or hate the movie. Or both. Especially when Jessica kept honking her horn while the guy worked on her car and laughing when he hit his head on the hood?! We're supposed to find that immature stupidity FUNNY?! Sure, he deserved it--but she didn't know that! Well, it wasn't long before I found this was actually a VERY funny movie. Hysterical, in fact. Watching a man act like he truly has the soul of a preppy cheerleader inside him is HILARIOUS. Especially when "he/she" tries to go to the bathroom, acts as a janitor, and has to keep covering up for when "he" acts like "she." It's hard to explain but not hard to enjoy. One of the endearing things about the movie is the overcoming of differences in school. Along the way, Jessica and her friends enlist the help of some very "opposite" people in their quest to find the other earring that helped put her in a man's body in the first place. (Oh, btw, the Jamaican guy who works at the store that sold her the earrings is a hoot!) So, the girls befriend a punk rock- and witchcraft-obsessed gothic girl (whom I identify most with because she's the most like me, in fact VERY much like myself), and another "anti-prep" person, a seriously overweight science nerd who agrees to help because she empathizes with Jessica having to shave her chin every morning. In the [extremely touching] end, Jessica gets her body [and boyfriend] back. And everyone looks on, happy and united and...well, you get the picture. All in all, this movie was great. It had endless humor. I'd watch it again soon.

Summary: Rob Schneider aims for low comedy.... & scores again!!
Review: You may remember the brief cycle of Hollywood "body switch" themed movies that came out around 1987-88. The only three of those I can remember are VICE VERSA (Judge Rheinhold switches bodies with Fred Savage) LIKE FATHER LIKE SON (Dudley Moore switches with Kirk Cameron) & SWITCH (Jimmy Smits swaps with Ellen Barkin). So for about 14 or so years the concept has been pretty much dead and buried. But Hollywood is always looking to update and rehash old themes, & Rob Schneider's latest comedic vehicle THE HOT CHICK is the result.
Jessica (Rachel McAdams) is the hot chick of the title. A snotty, uppity teen who uses her good looks to take advantage of others less fortunate than her.
One day while out shopping at the mall with some friends she comes across a pair of Ancient Abyssynian earrings in an antique store run by a Rastafarian pothead (Adam Sandler who also exec-produced). After shoplifting them Jessica co-incidentally has a run in with a bumbling mugger (Rob Schneider), which leaves the duo with an earring each.
For some reason that night before going to bed they both sleep with an earring on.... & wake up the following morning to discover they've switched bodies much to Jessica's horror & the low-life's delight.
So once Jessica (now played by Rob Schneider) manages to convince her best friend April (Anna Farris from SCARY MOVIE) that she's now a guy she must lay low until they can find a way to retrieve the other earring & change her back.
This, despite a more romantic tone than Rob Schneider's other work, of course leads to lots of the expected scatalogical humor, some of which is pretty funny; especially "Jessica"s first attempt at using a urinal, plus experiencing locker-room talk first hand as well as her father showing a macho side he's never displayed before when she poses as his Spanish gardener & they bond over a beer... and is very nearly seduced by her own mother!
Sadly, not much time is devoted to McAdam's time as a guy as she is just as funny as Schneider, if not more so, in her slobbish role.
THE HOT CHICK is not a classic by a long stretch; but it's a fun & amusing time filler that will be enjoyed by anyone who liked Schneider's other lowbrow comedies, though prudes & the hopelessly senile are advised to steer clear of this one.

Summary: To Be Or Not To Be (In My DVD Collection)?...
Review: Not To Be! The only funny scene in this movie is the bathroom scene. I only have 5 comedy movies (Liar!Liar! & What About Bob? are among them) in my DVD collection so I'm pretty finicky when it comes to comedies. There are a few more comedies I want to buy. I hate to say it but I have to agree with the critics on this one. It's a dumb movie. Sorry. Cheers.
