'This movie hates women' is written over and over in my notebook, but that's not quite fair. This movie hates unattractive women.

Working from Heidi Ferrer’s wholly uninspired script, Putnam runs through all the gross-out gags you’d expect.

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

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.

Johann Urb cruises up as a dream date doctor...and his utter blandness nearly bests Hilton’s. If the two of them conjoined, in an instant every interesting book or film or album ever created would implode.

It's a horrible, horrible movie but not because of anything Ms. Hilton does or does not do. In fact, even the actress playing the Nottie is perfectly fine. It's a disgusting film with men so repulsive, even the campy socialite deserves a better project.

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.

This pea-brained vanity production does not have the energy to remember from one scene to the next what it is about or why it is on screen. It is attention-deficit film-making.

Heidi Ferrer's screenplay...succeeds at just one thing: trumpeting one of the most anti-feminist messages in recent film history.

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

Excuse me while I ponder the earth-shaking question of how good the acting wing of Hilton's edifice of talents are.

Instead of ranking as an unforgettable turkey, it's merely forgettable.

It's hard to fault the filmmakers, because given the premise, it could have been much MUCH worse.

At the risk of going against the obvious 'it's-cool-to-hate-Hilton' popular majority, it should be stated up front that The Hottie & the Nottie isn't half-bad.
