It is excruciatingly, painfully, horribly, terribly awful.

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.
Theatrical Release:Feb 8, 2008 Limited
Synopsis: Paris Hilton stars as the titular beauty in this romantic comedy. Nate (DODGEBALL's Joel David Moore) adores the gorgeous Cristabel (Hilton), but she refuses to leave the side of her less... [More]

Top CriticIt looks like it was shot on middle school AV club equipment, and the jokes, aiming for gross-out value, are merely sad.
02/08/08
Top Critic[The film] regularly grinds to a halt just so Putnam can capture Hilton running, sunning or simply posing -- usually in slow motion.
02/08/08
Top CriticHottie 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.
02/08/08
Top CriticWith 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 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.
02/07/08
Top CriticHottie and the Nottie is ultimately best suited for the confines of late-night cable.
02/07/08
Top CriticThat generous half star rating I tacked onto to this comedy abomination is all for Paris Hilton. Come on, it takes guts (or gross dim-wittedness) to appear on screen again after House of Wax.
02/07/08
Top CriticHeidi Ferrer's screenplay...succeeds at just one thing: trumpeting one of the most anti-feminist messages in recent film history.
02/07/08
Top CriticHilton has the meticulously manicured appeal of a lawn where every blade of grass has been individually cut and polished. Head coyly tilted, hip out-thrust, she makes purring kitten, predatory lioness moves not often seen outside of beer ads.
02/07/08
Top CriticLike Nate, we are mere Notties. And we are supposed to feel oh-so privileged for getting to watch Paris through the glass.
02/07/08
Top CriticA 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 Critic'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 CriticUltimately, 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 CriticThe 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 CriticI would like to tell you this gross-out-on-camera is every bit as bad as its title implies, but that would not be entirely true. It is much, much worse.
02/06/08
Top CriticWorking from Heidi Ferrer’s wholly uninspired script, Putnam runs through all the gross-out gags you’d expect.
02/05/08
Top CriticCrass, shrill, disingenuous, tawdry, mean-spirited, vulgar, idiotic, boring, slapdash.
