Review: The Hot Chick

#118 - The Hot Chick


The Hot Chick is the age old story of two people swapping bodies; however, this time, it's a middle-aged man switching with a teenage girl. Jessica has the world at her fingertips. She's beautiful, she has a great group of friends, her boyfriend is quarterback of the football team, and her family worships her. One day, she buys a pair of cursed earrings that land her in a bit of trouble. The earrings have the power to allow the owners to transfer bodies - when Jessica accidentally loses an earring while at a gas station, a man picks it up and takes it home. That night, the two owners of the earrings put them on. In the morning, they discover that they are not in their original form. Jessica is stuck with the body of a scruffy 30-year-old man, and she needs help. She enlists her best friends, and they track down the other earring. Once the two earrings are together, Jessica puts them on and becomes herself again.

It sounds like a completely overdone story line, because it is, but the way that Rob Schneider writes the scenes and dialogue makes for an absolutely hilarious movie. To see how moronic teenage girls would react to a situation like this is good comedy. One of my favorite scenes is when Jessica reveals herself to her best friend, April, for the first time.

There are just so many accurate things that would happen during an exchange like this, that I cannot stop laughing. The over-sized key chains, a friend telling the other friend the snack will go straight to her ass, the pepper spray, Jessica trying to speak like a man but failing miserably - it's funny.

This movie is completely ridiculous, and that's what I love about it. Rob Schneider is perfect in every way. I don't think this movie would've been as successful without him in it.

I don't even want to pick out anything negative about this film because I'm obsessed with it.


I give The Hot Chick 4.5 out of 5 stars.
