The Hottie and the Nottie is a crass, predictable, and ineptly staged gross-out comedy that serves little purpose beyond existing as another monument to Paris Hilton's vanity.

A stark yet comforting reminder that cold, hard cash is no substitute for cold, hard talent. 'The Hottie and the Nottie' is an execrable Z-grade eugenics parable moonlighting as a sexy, disposable date movie.

It is excruciatingly, painfully, horribly, terribly awful.

It looks like it was shot on middle school AV club equipment, and the jokes, aiming for gross-out value, are merely sad.

[The film] regularly grinds to a halt just so Putnam can capture Hilton running, sunning or simply posing -- usually in slow motion.

Imagine the worst movie you've ever seen. Got it? Now try to think of something worse. That something is this movie -- wretched, embarrassing and a waste of the time and energy of everyone involved.

Hottie goes from insufferable to downright intolerable. While it pays lip service to inner beauty, the movie winds up as a feature-length advertisement for cosmetic surgery.

Hard time in the joint can change a person. Make them worse sometimes. And it would appear that this is Hilton's idea of revenge on a world she feels has done her wrong.

A person famous only because of the intense lack of basic decency with which she has pursued fame would obviously want to play the most beautiful conceivable human being.

Tabloid curiosity Paris Hilton may be the main draw, but it's doubtful that even her celebrity will do much to raise the prospects of this aggressively moronic comedy.

I just kept thinking about Daniel Day-Lewis and Marlon Brando when I watched Paris Hilton's acting performance in this film (can you sense the sarcasm?).

The sort of comedy that could only have been produced by aliens whose only knowledge of earth comes from TMZ.com, VH1 reality shows, and Dane Cook movies.

Paris definitely wear the pants in this ho hum extra-lite romantic comedy, and I think I can pretty accurately report that she keeps them on down under, from beginning to end.

A movie where Paris Hilton is a bombshell is less comedy and more Science Fiction...

In truth, parts of The Hottie and the Nottie are no worse than much of the romcom they sucker us with on any given week.

A film of monumental dreadfulness, the hunt for the worst movie of 2008 ends right here.

This parody is the divine joke: a heavenly reminder of how fabulously unfair real life is for the rest of us plain mortals.

If you thought She's All That was all that, this will pass the time for you - but if you thought She's All That was all that, well, so would practically any film.

As Barbara Ellen commented in her 'Observer' column, discussing the treatment of Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills, feminism should be approached like football: pick your side and stick with it. Even if that means defending The Hottie And The Nottie.

After a panning in the States, The Hottie And The Nottie is being promoted as one of the worst-reviewed films ever.

One day aliens will land on Earth offering us answers to the secrets of the Universe. But, because of films like The Hottie & the Nottie they will deem us unworthy and return to the Heavens once more in their carbon-free interstellar cruisers.

Audience Reviews for The Hottie and the Nottie

The Hottie And The Nottie
Quite how Paris Hilton convinced someone to put her in a movie, we don?t know. A less painful experience than watching the spoilt heiress attempt to act might involve painting your face with fish paste then apple-bobbing in a piranha tank. Is it hot? It is not.

Nowhere near as bad as expected. Paris, like every other movie I've ever seen her in, acts like she's posing in front of the mirror, but for a mindless comedy, this was not that bad at all and even quite sweet in a way.
