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.

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.

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.

Except for Hilton's delusion that she has comic (or any) talent, the movie's worst sin is that it is inept 95 percent of the time. The remaining 5 percent is kind of cute.

It is excruciatingly, painfully, horribly, terribly awful.
