Top CriticThe movie's devices are so feeble, I think it was written on a napkin in a Denny's the day before principal photography began.
12/23/02
Top CriticEnough to make any woman or gay man wish they could beam themselves to planet Zoltron.
12/17/02
Top CriticA surprisingly good-natured throwback to the '80s heyday of the body-switching genre.
12/16/02
Top CriticI 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.
12/16/02
Top CriticBy the standards of knucklehead swill, The Hot Chick is pretty damned funny.
12/13/02
Top CriticInstead of the easy laughs, Schneider and Brady are going for something a little deeper.
12/13/02
Top CriticThis unabashedly stupid comedy is, well, unabashedly stupid.
12/13/02
Top CriticThe verdict: Two bodies and hardly a laugh between them.
12/13/02
Top CriticWallows in gender stereotypes, solidifying the impression that Schneider can't compete with the likes of Sandler and fellow SNL alumnus Mike Myers.
12/13/02
Top CriticWhile the result is neither poetry nor politics, it does rather gleefully turn a few dumbass guy's-guy movie comedy conventions on their heads.
12/13/02
Top CriticCall it tastelessness with a message -- a dubious combination, like, for sure. Still, Schneider pulls off the masquerade pretty well.
12/13/02
Top CriticA 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.
12/13/02
Top CriticI 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.
12/13/02
Top CriticOn the surface The Hot Chick
12/13/02
Top CriticLoosely speaking, we're in All of Me territory again, and, strictly speaking, Schneider is no Steve Martin.
12/13/02
Top CriticDoes 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.
12/13/02
Top CriticIf you think it's a riot to see Rob Schneider in a young woman's clothes, then you'll enjoy The Hot Chick.
12/13/02
Top CriticThe first half hour of Hot Chick, before the switch, plays like soft-core porno from the '60s. The rest plays like a bad Saturday Night Live sketch stretched to the breaking point.
