The Hot Chick
Not only is Jessica Spencer the most popular girl in school -- she is also the meanest. But things change for the attractive teen when a freak accident involving a cursed pair of earrings and a chance encounter at a gas station causes her to switch bodies with Clive, a sleazy crook. Jessica, in the form of the repulsive Clive, struggles to adjust to this radical alteration and sets out to get her own body back before the upcoming prom.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The acting in this movie is really good.
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.
Was this movie kinda stupid? Yes. But you should know that going in. And knowing that in advance, you should allow yourself to enjoy it.I just randomly caught this movie on TV and was very pleasantly surprised. It's silly, it's stupid, it's often over the top, it's heartwarming, it's well filmed.And Rob Schneider was AWESOME in this movie. I was stunned. He really, truly, was fantastic playing the part of a teenage girl. It was as if Rob Schneider didn't know he was in a stupid, slapstick comedy. And as a result, he sells us the story even more completely.I'm a child of the 80s, and this movie reminded me a bit of the original "Just One Of The Guys." For a simple good time, this movie will do just fine.
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.
This movie was great in every way possible; it had such a funny plot of a high school girl being trapped in a man's body. I could never watch this movie enough times. It has great actors in it. Rob Schneider, Rachel McAdams, and Anna Faris makes up for an all-star cast. This movie is truly one of the best comedies I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.The DVD features are great as well. The deleted scenes are almost as funny as the movie, and it has so many behind the scenes video. Rob Schneider couldn't have done a better job with this movie.Any critics that say this movie is bad need to watch it again, because they're wrong10 stars for this movie. It blew me away. It was amazing
