Summary: Sight gags and bodily functions still work!
Review: I did not go to see this in the theater because I was thinking, "okay this is just another Rob Schneider attempt at being funny" In fact the only thing I had previously seen with him in it that I thought used his talent correctly was The Waterboy. Anyway, I was very surprised by seriousness of the beginning movie setup which was markedly different than the rest.
Lets face it people... fart jokes, body oder and bodily functions and yes even homosexuality still work as comedic fodder. This isn't your typical Chevy Chase pratfall or Three Stooges romp. It addresses real issues that kids have faced in high school and spins it like a top to exaggerate the complete nonsense of how cruel the popular people are to those with lesser looks or little money. The movie did not drag (in my humble opionion) as other reviewers had said. Instead it moved from one carefully, sometimes predictable, but always hysterical scene to the next.

If you need to chuckle, rent something else, this one will make you laugh until you wet your pants. (Just pray there's a nice attendant to help you out afterward)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Non-Stop Laughter
Review: I loved this movie. It had me laughing from begining to end. Its one of those movies that you don't have to think about. You just sit back and enjoy. I love everything that Rob Schneider does and in my opinion this is his best movie yet. If you loved his earlier films, you''l defeinitely love this one.

Summary: Really Funny!
Review: Rachel McAdams plays popular-and-blonde teen cheerleader, Jessica Spencer complete with coterie of friends and devout boyfriend Billy. When Jessica steals an earing from an import store, little does she realize that she has just unleashed a centuries old magic spell, which plummets Jessica into the body of an ex-con and the con into her body. Thus begins another identity crisis drama where Rob Schneider, (if this guy is 3O, I'll eat my hat), has to act an the part of a teenage girl.

Okay, sometimes I love a dumb comedy and this movie fits the bill. Rob is excellent as the confused, and snotty Jessica. Rachel did a good job playing the "Hot Chick Bandit." The young man who played Billy was perfect. The cameos of Adam Sandler as the pot-loving Rastafarian was just too funny. Oh, and I particularly like the opening scene where the earring (and its spell) are first used in ancient Sumaria (?).

While this movie is far from PC, it makes up for it in its sheer charm. I found Hot Chick to be a light, entertaining gag movie. Well worth the rental.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Onscreen Riot
Review: Yes, this movie isn't exactly the most intelligent piece of cinema ever, but it's funny as hell. The characters are all pretty likable and have their share of funny lines and moments. The plot is based around a snotty popular girl who steals magic earrings from a store in the mall and in a freak incident, trade bodies with a criminal. The comedy takes off from there although it unfortunately bases most of the movie around the girl in the man's body instead of the other way around. Be on the look-out for the hillarious scenes involving Jessica's *the main character's* friend Ling Ling and her mother. If you're looking for just a good laugh, I highly recommend this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hot Chick- Best comedy of 2002-2003
Review: Well, I have seen this comedy and it's funny and great. Absolutely recommended! You'll regret not to own its DVD. Rob Schneider has done a remarkable job in this comedy but you'll feel the pretty girl Rachel Adam misses out most of the scene except from the very beginning. The whole film just put everything on Rob Schneider. Rachel Adam is almost not there(a little setback).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: HOT CHICK - STUPID MOVIE - NICE LOOKING TRANSFER
Review: Rob Schneider is "The Hot Chick", that is after a freak accident with some voodoo cursed earrings causes his mind to be subplanted into the body of a very attractive high school senior while her mind takes a vacation in his own body. The problem I have with this movie is not with its improbability. In the aftermath of "There's Something About Mary" it seems that every comedy has forgone the genuine laugh for the hearty gross out and while, I must admit, I found myself doing the cringe/chuckle during many of this movie's totally ridiculous vignettes I can't say that the cumulative result of those two hours spent in the dark was worthwhile. Yes, Schneider is at his usual, self-depricating best. Yes, there are some moments that will make you laugh. But the plot, such as it is, does not hold together in anything but the most superficial way, leaving the viewer completely unfulfilled by the final fade out.
TRANSFER WISE: A nice looking DVD with sharply contrasted, clear images. Black levels and colors are well balanced. Minor edge enhancement and a hint of pixelization are present but they are extremely rare, for a very smooth looking visual presentation. The audio is 5.1 and nicely spread over the surrounds, especially in the music tracks.
EXTRAS: A making-of featurette, music video, audio commentary and deleted scenes. Nicely put together.
BOTTOM LINE: If you're not big on plot and think that you might like to see a grown man squeezed into a prom dress then "The Hot Chick" is for you. Personally, I hunger for more intelligent fair - comedy is supposed to excite the mind, not turn the stomach!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worth the time and money - could've been far better.
Review: I kinda regretted ever seeing this film. It's both good and bad. First the bad review part - this film is so stupid offensive and insulting and as bad as Sixteen Candles and First Wives Club. This film is a First Wives Club Meets Sixteen Candles Meets New Guy Meets all movies with body switch theme (Vice Versa, Freaky Friday, etc.). I am digusted with the racism against asians, hispanics, and jewish with the stupid racial stereotypes in this film - it's sixteen Candles all over again with the stupid offensive and not funny either character and portrayal of korean student Long Duck Dong in Sixteen Candles and now in this film - it's a black girl's Korean mother. Then while there was seemingly way much of gay guy theme and very very little of the gay other gender theme it all only seems that way but no one is really gay - either gender. Rob fails to portray a character someone thinks is gay because it's the school snob in his body and rob fails as a girl trapped in a man's body due to a curse. If you ever seen Family Matters and know who Steve Urkel is think of Rob actually acting Urkel - ish because that's how it is in this movie - he doesn't really act like a girl (inside a 40 year old man) and not even a man who acts gay because it's really a girl's spirit inside the man's body. He just acts like Steve Urkel. Okay the script was stupid...and weak. It did have a few funny moments but Adam's cameo was annoying in the part where he kept mentioning places to hide weed. He did good in the rest of the cameos he did in this film. The other problems with this film is that many of the actors can't even act. The only good actors/actresses there didn't get enough airtime and I'm talking about the Mowry twins and Samia Doumit who plays Eden in the film. Rob was ok - sort of. The kid brother of the girl Rob's character Clive switched body with - is shown to probably be gay because he dresses in drag. This was stupid and didn't do well for the film. One other last problem is the stupid song that's sung by the two girls about boys - and it's bad stuff about boys. It's as bad as First Wives Club. The biggest mistake of making Hot Chick was to draw stupid, disgusting, and offensive parts from Sixteen Candles, New Guy, First Wives Club, and the body switch theme that has been done to death and make it into Hot Chick. The only things good though is the themes of True Love, Loyalty, Friendship, Enjoying Life, fighting for your marriage, and not taking things for granted. If all these problems have been fixed, and done diffrently, then it would've been a good teen flix but basically it mostly [was bad] and not really worth the time and money.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Is this a role change for the better?
Review: Yes, it's stupid. But it's still pretty funny.

Rob Schneider plays a traditional fish out of water role, having had the personality/soul/whatever of a beautiful young prissy coed transferred into his body (normally a 30 something semi-conscious, small-time thief). The ensuing predicaments that he finds himself in, although already played out in at least 10 other movies I can think of, do prove to a humorous flavor to them that only Schneider can provide. Although heavy on toilet and vaguely homoerotic humor, the movie manages to provide adequate chuckles throughout its 104-minute length. Supported by a reasonably talented cast including Anna Faris, the Mowry Twins, Adam Sandler in a very one dimensional cameo, Michael O'Keefe (remember him from Caddy Shack?) as the coed's overly hormonal father, and a virtually unrecognizable Michelle Branch, Schneider manages to keep this movie slightly above the level of your typical teenage romp film.

The DVD is a moderately good package, including the movie, featurettes on each of the main characters and stunt production, a dozen or so deleted scenes, an alternate ending, and a very well done music video. The big question is "Is it worth spending [$$$] to own?" Well, if you are a big Rob Schneider fan...sure. If not, then I would recommend renting it first, and deciding if it fits your tastes.
