The Hot Chick Reviews
Offensive, vile, and, even worse, not funny.

The movie's devices are so feeble, I think it was written on a napkin in a Denny's the day before principal photography began.

Enough to make any woman or gay man wish they could beam themselves to planet Zoltron.

A surprisingly good-natured throwback to the '80s heyday of the body-switching genre.
| Original Score: B- | Dec 16, 2002
Schneider's mugging is relentless and his constant need to suddenly transpose himself into another character undermines the story's continuity and progression.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 16, 2002
I will say this for the film -- it's in color. And, it was mostly in focus. And I really can't say anymore for it beyond that.

Even by the low standards of Saturday Night Live-alumni movies, "The Hot Chick" is simply excruciating. It is loathsome, offensive, vile, and, even worse, it is not funny.

By the standards of knucklehead swill, The Hot Chick is pretty damned funny.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 13, 2002
Instead of the easy laughs, Schneider and Brady are going for something a little deeper.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 13, 2002
This unabashedly stupid comedy is, well, unabashedly stupid.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 13, 2002
Wallows in gender stereotypes, solidifying the impression that Schneider can't compete with the likes of Sandler and fellow SNL alumnus Mike Myers.

While the result is neither poetry nor politics, it does rather gleefully turn a few dumbass guy's-guy movie comedy conventions on their heads.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 13, 2002
Call it tastelessness with a message -- a dubious combination, like, for sure. Still, Schneider pulls off the masquerade pretty well.

A crude teen-oriented variation on a theme that the playwright Craig Lucas explored with infinitely more grace and eloquence in his Prelude to a Kiss.

I haven't laughed harder at anything this year, but I would have a hard time recommending this gender-bending gut-buster to anyone who doesn't have a high threshold for crude sexual humor and stereotypes.

On the surface The Hot Chick is not so hot: loud, vulgar and contrived, for starters. But beneath its crass veneer, this film, from Adam Sandler's Happy Madison production company, proves as provocatively subversive as his Eight Crazy Nights.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 13, 2002
Loosely speaking, we're in All of Me territory again, and, strictly speaking, Schneider is no Steve Martin.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 13, 2002
Does Revelations say anything that could be interpreted as 'The end is nigh when Rob Schneider turns into a woman in a movie that's funny, sweet and clever'? If so, prepare to meet your maker, because The Hot Chick is exactly that.
