Not being a particular fan of any of the "Happy Madison" movies, I expected this movie to stink like week old fish. I was wrong. "The Hot Chick", while it doesn't strain the brain cells much, is genuinely funny! I laughed through the whole thing. The touch of sweetness was very unexpected; the relationship between Jessica and her best friend tugged at my heartstrings just a little bit. Sometimes a ridiculous, silly comedy is just what a person needs.

It is soo funny! But Adam Sandler plays a crackhead! I like when Jessica finds out she's a man! I'm like Jessica and Allie's like April! I like when a guy at the handbags stand gave me and Allie free designer purses (I got Gucci and Allie got DD!) And the purses were worth thousands of dollars! But they didn't let us get the real expensive ones! Just Gucci and DD! I wanted a LV! WAA! And I like where the Bartender comes and thinks she's gay! And I like when Jake pours his drink on his date (Ashlee Simpson).

I do not know what anyone expects when they see this movie. From the trailers I never expected it to not suck. I was pleasantly surprised.

It is not worth the $17.99 it is still listed as, but it is worth a rental. The cast of girls and the interaction with Rob Schneider makes for some amusing scenarios.

The plot is not surprising, but it is not insulting - given the premise. It doesn't bog down in lessons or morales. I was again surprised.

If you are a Rob Schneider fan, you will enjoy it. If you are not, but have been sucked into seeing Gigilo and Animal, this will offer a little forgiveness.

Rob Schneider. He's been a male prostitute, an animal, and even a woman. But coming next summer, he's about to become something he's never been before!! .......A male actor!! Yes, that's right; a real live actor! The title, you ask? ..."The Actor"! So original, we know!!! Our hero starts off as a janitor and, get this, the viewer is treated to a number of urinal and various other bathroom scenes guaranteed to make you lose your lunch! But wait, it only gets better! Schneider then gets on a jet plane to visit his sick granny (played by Adam Sandler!) in the Big Apple, when a news crew that just happens to be in the area mistakes our hero for a famous and talented actor! He then goes to star in various movies, falls in love with one of his screen partners (who suffers from Down Syndrome, but still acts nonetheless), and they live happily ever after! So, what happened to the actor they've mistaken Schneider for? Who cares? Is there a plot somewhere in this one? Nope! Not important! After all, when you get to see Schneider's face as he is kicked in the crotch numerous times throughout "The Actor", who needs to develop any of those overrated things such as a story, characters, plot, climax, or resolution? Says professional movie critic Roger Ebert of this upcoming movie, "There were a couple of almost funny scenes in here! I almost gave this movie a full star out of 4! Highly recommended.....for our young male teens of 12 or 13 years of age, even though the film contains Schneider's exposed....behind." Comming next summer to some random theater in Mexico......the only theater that would allow Schneider's face to appear in its vicinity. So save your money kids, cause it's time to see Rob Schneider in a whole new light!........hahahahahahahahahahaha! And when this movie does get released, remember this: It's Rob Schneider, nuff said!

I feel like barfing just thinking of this movie. This is the cinematic equvalent of staring at a ceiling. This is horrendous, this is utterly offensive. This is just the worst thing to ever happen in maybe the whole history of artistic expression. I've made better movies with a home video camera. Let me explain the overwrought premise of this piece of plastic that has not an inch of worth in any society, even if I could eat this for sustenance I would not dare becuase putting this to any good use would be utterly offensive. The premise is an obvious rip off of several films (Freaky Friday, Like Father like Son) where somebody switches bodies. Oh wow, what a concept too bad it's been done probably a million times. Rob Schnieder (the worst actor ever I spelt his name wrong on purpose becuase I wouldn't even bother to honor his name by spelling it right) plays the excrusciatingly unfunny role as the hot chick, in the body of a man. They don't even do much with the idea of soul swapping, Rob's real character (the dude who switches bodies with the hot chick) is showed hardly often as the hot chick that is inhabiting (why should I even bother explaining). This supposed to be funny but it's awfully boring and stupid as hell. I remeber hearing my friend saying "isn't this supposed to be funny." When I came home from this movie I was angry. I was angry that some people were actually being hood winkled into wasting thier money on a crappy movie. I was mad that this artistically offensive movie was actually in major movie thearters based solely on the fact that one of the most unfunny SNL alumni was in it. This is horrible, avoid it at all cost. This is the equavalent to poison in media form. I can't believe that this movie was actually put past the screening process. I just can't imagine the execs. (except Rob S. who I think played a role in producing this maybe that explains it) looking at this and saying "Yes! An ugly man acting like a priss! This is the funniest and most orginal stuff I've ever seen, wow!" I can't even imagine the man who made this piece of garbage supporting it. I'm asking everybody who reads this to find this movie and destroy it, stomp on it spit on it and set it on fire. This is the most offensive ever produced in the history of art and cinema bar none.

I know this movie isn't exactly life-changing and it doesn't attack any real *issues* in the world, but if you're looking for a fun comedy that will have you laughing so hard you're practically crying, The Hot Chick is it.

Age plays a huge factor for the audience - I'd recommend it to teenagers and people in their 20's, but anyone much older or younger will probably find it repulsive or confusing.

The basic storyline is that Jessica, this stereotypical popular girl, accidentally switches bodies with a disgusting man (played Rob Schneider). She overcomes a gazillion challenges while trying to get her body back and Rob Schneider should really be commended for his acting. Sure, this sort of character isn't going through any extreme mental drama, but it isn't as if normal teenage girls act just like her, either. Every nuance of over-superficiality is purposely there to make the audience laugh, and I can honestly say I was rolling on the floor with by the end of the movie (whether it be the first time I watched it or the tenth).

While almost every scene contained something hilarious, my favorite was when Rob Schneider and three other girls were having a pillow fight and s/he doesn't know her/his own strength and ends up practically throwing the other girls in the walls and knocking them out. Whoever was Anna Faris' stunt double did a fantastic job.

Overall, it's just a fun, happy romance/drama/comedy/action/etc. that deals with a wide variety of teenage issues, from accepting one's culture (as seen in Ling-ling, one of the girls in Jessica's clique) to parental marriage trouble.

Does one good performer make a good movie? Fat chance! It doesn't even make a halfway decent one! Am I referring to the leading man/woman Rob Schneider? Hell no!! He's as bad as ever in this misfortune of a movie that wasted an hour or so of my life that I cannot get back. He tries to be like Adam Sandler, but, even if you can't stand Adam's humor, at least Adam can pull it off. Adam's brief moment in The Hot Chick is better than any acting that Mr. Schneider has ever provided for us (that's saying a lot; Adam's cameo was terrible in this film!) Rob should stick to robbing gas stations; his humor....hahaha......humor......I can't believe I actually began to give him credit for creating humor.probably his best line in the movie is "These should come with a warning: earrings may come with penis." And that is his best.....pitiful!! Maybe that line would have been funny if Rob understood this thing called comic delievery! Also, looking like a constipated cow is NOT FUNNY!! At that point, I had to laugh, thinking to myself "Is he really this bad of an actor? What would a normal actor have to be paid to be seen in a movie with this guy?" Which brings me to what I was saying earlier, about the one good performer in this movie. I think we all know that I am referring to Ann Faris. Obviously, she was given lousy material to work with, and, as a result, could hardley generate any laughs. However, Faris does know how to pull off comedy with little effort, mostly via her facial expressions (see Scary Movie trilogy for much better examples of her acting!) I can only imagine the large sum of money she demanded to be seen with this goon. Most of the other actors/actresses in this movie are young and looking for a big break. Sorry kids, it ain't gonna happen with this pile of Godforsaken crap. If you want a better movie, go to your local retail store and randomly pick any movie off the shelf. (...)

The movie "THe hot chick"is the funniest movie I'v ever seen!!!
The subject of the movie is amusing and interesting, I have never seen a movie with such a unique idea. The movie began as a legend of a pair of earrings who swich bodies. The movie itself is at the year 2002, it is about a young girl named Jessica how has a perfect life: the perfect look, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friends... .
Jessica saw in an antiquity shop this earrings, but jessica didnt know what this earrings can do. The owner of the shop told here that the earrings are not for sale but Jessica wanted them for the home-comming prom so she stole them.
As Jessica and her friends were on their way home Jessica lost one of the earrings and a 30 year old man who stole from a gase stashion found the earring. Here the story gets complicated, Jessica gets the body of a man, no-one belives here and she is miserable. At last she convinsed her best friend April that she is Jessica. April fals in love with the "boy" jessica. This is a excellent act of Rob Schneider. I personally think that Rob Schneider is one of the gratest acters today.
And back to our story jessica look's for a way to get back to her-self. Mean-while jessica missed her boyfriend .She tried talling him the truth but he didnt believe jessica that she is a boy.
At the end jessica found out that the earrings were the cause of all that happened. She went to conflict wuth the man that has her body.
All the story is in a defined time , because she needed to get the earrings back together befor the full moon stricks or else she would stay in that boby forever.
The story is lened with funny scenes.

Rating System:
1 star = abysmal; some movies deserve to be forgotten
2 star = poor; a total waste of time
3 star = good; worth the effort
4 star = very good; what a movie should be
5 star = fantastic; must own it and share it with others

STORY: Through coincidence a high-school beauty and an idiot criminal switch bodies when they happen upon magical ancient Egyptian earings. Now starts the "comedy" of how they and their friends cope to the sudden change.

MY FEEDBACK:
1) Much of the humor was in the same vain as the Scary Movie trilogy = silly to the point that you still find yourself chuckling at how stupid it all is

2) Not a movie I'd recommend for kids as some people will find it offensive that the movie touches on (and seems to encourage) homosexuality, cross-dressing and marital unfaithfulness.

3) The cast did their job and must have had fun at such a ridiculous comic romp.

4) The story was predictable and no new ground explored here nor old ground handled in a fresh way

5) Adam Sandler's bit part (he produced the movie it appears) were as dumb as they get. Don't know why he even bothered appearing in the movie other than to help boost viewership.

OVERALL: It got enough chuckles out of me that I didn't find it a total waste of time but it was close. I'd rather go back and watch Liar Liar or Happy Gilmore for some true original laughs.

This is another in the series of Rob Schneider movies in which he is placed in inappropriate or impossible situations, and reacts. Consider this to be the Devil's Spawn of the 'Freaky Friday' genre. Petty thief Rob changes places with 'Jessica', the prettiest girl in school via some magical earrings, and hilarity ensues. Well, that's the theory, anyhow. Truth be told, there are some amusing and a couple of quite funny moments in the film, but overall it's pretty formulaic.

I have two favorite subplots. My favorite involves Rob (well his body with Jessica inside) becoming a gardener for Jessica's father. In this ruse, he is transformed into 'Taquito', and sports a very bad Mexican accent. They go through some ritual male bonding exercises (talking about women, playing basketball, etc.) and eventually Rob is able to save his marriage by resisting having an affair with Jessica's mother, in which Rob has the best line in the entire film when he says, while brushing off her clumsy pass: "This is so wrong in at least five different ways." I don't know why, but that really did amuse me. In the end, Rob says the right things to both parents and their love life is reborn!

My other favorite subplot is a bit more base, but basically involves Jessica learn to use a male body. This comes to a peak when she (in Rob's body, of course) tries to learn to use a urinal with the help of an elderly bathroom assistant. It's a very visual piece of shtick, but it was funny, in a base, teenage sort of way.

In the end they get the two lead characters back together and the movie's only bout of special effects gives us the Jessica to Rob pole dancing transmogrification.

This movie is very much a cookie cutter formula comedy, but it actually has a few moments of amusement to be seen. On balance, it's an OK way to pass the time if you don't want any heavy thinking involved, and it's WAY better than 'Corky Romano'!
