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.

Consensus: 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.

Reviews for The Hottie & the Nottie
Top CriticInstead of ranking as an unforgettable turkey, it's merely forgettable.
02/07/08
Ultimately, The Hottie & the Nottie is no worse in many ways than a lot of teen-centric comedies, which generally appeal to their audience through cruelty and vulgarity.
02/07/08
Top CriticFor all its problems, though, The Hottie & the Nottie provides a valuable service. It reminds us that no matter how bad a one-star movie might be, it could always be worse. This is worse.
02/06/08
Top CriticExcuse me while I ponder the earth-shaking question of how good the acting wing of Hilton's edifice of talents are.
01/29/08
With all her wealth and meaningless celebritude, Hilton is incapable of doing the one thing most of us desperately wish she would do: Go away.
02/08/08
Top CriticCustom designed for its smirking star (who is also an executive producer), this tasteless train wreck asks only that she preen and prance on cue.
02/08/08
Top CriticThis parody is the divine joke: a heavenly reminder of how fabulously unfair real life is for the rest of us plain mortals.
03/28/08
'This movie hates women' is written over and over in my notebook, but that's not quite fair. This movie hates unattractive women.
02/07/08
Top CriticThe 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.
05/19/08
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.
03/28/08
It's hard to fault the filmmakers, because given the premise, it could have been much MUCH worse.
02/05/08
The Farrelly brothers could burp out a movie funnier than The Hottie & the Nottie, a farce of corrupt stereotypes that's never more grotesque than when it pretends to be more than skin-deep.
02/06/08
Top CriticYay, a feature-length adaptation of the Spice Girls' "Wannabe"!
02/07/08
A crude twist on the old maxim about inner beauty trumping outward appearance.
02/08/08
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.
03/28/08
A certain disappointment sets in when the consummate awfulness subsides after an hour, becoming slightly less painful. But then, dropping a hammer on your foot improves that way, too.
02/07/08
Top CriticUgly in more ways than one.
03/27/08
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.
03/28/08
How does this movie fail? Count the ways. It's badly written, ineptly directed and it sets Paris Hilton as the pinnacle of female beauty and desirability.
