Not only is Jessica Spencer (Rachel McAdams) the most popular girl in school -- she is also the meanest. But things change for the attractive teen when a freak accident involving a cursed pair of earrings and a chance encounter at a gas station causes her to switch bodies with Clive (Rob Schneider), a sleazy crook. Jessica, in the form of the repulsive Clive, struggles to adjust to this radical alteration and sets out to get her own body back before the upcoming prom.

Critics Consensus

The Hot Chick's one-note concept gets stretched thin, and a lot of the jokes fall flat.

Offensive, vile, and, even worse, not funny.

The movie's devices are so feeble, I think it was written on a napkin in a Denny's the day before principal photography began.

Enough to make any woman or gay man wish they could beam themselves to planet Zoltron.

I didn't expect a masterpiece, but it's basic Rob Schneider at his worst.

There is exactly ONE scene worth watching in Rob Schneider's latest pathetic romp... is it worth ten bucks? No way in hell.

The Hot Chick is an absolutely ridiculous movie, and I mean that in the best way. This spoof comedy is silly, goofy, and over-the-top, never pretending to be serious. Rob Schneider commits to the outrageous character, while Rachel McAdams makes her role work, too. The film knows exactly what kind of comedy it wants to deliver. I wish the screenplay explored Rachel’s side more deeply instead of focusing so heavily on Rob’s character. Giving both perspectives more room could have added depth, but the story is clearly interested in the hot-chick premise. Even so, there is creativity in this small, silly world, and the characters keep the comedy moving. Ultimately, The Hot Chick is ridiculous entertainment that keeps you invested in its characters. It is not something I would watch all the time, but it succeeds at being goofy and fun. I recommend it when you want a movie that knows how silly it is and leans into it.
