Movie Reviews of The Hot Chick
Movie Review: Update to my first review
Summary: 5 Stars
My first review was titled "Funny as all hell!". It is, but after watching it about seven times, all I can get is a few chuckles. That is still amazing, though. I Have seen this movie approximately 10 times, and I still enjoy it. It is a romantic (if sick at times) comedy, and the movie makes me happy. For this update, I will give an overview of the album along with additional comments.The most popular (though not prettiest, in my opinion)girl in school, Jessica (Rachael McAdams), has the perfect life, as far as she knows. She is a cheerleader, has the perfect boyfriend, and lives the perfect life. Her relationship with Billy (Matthew Lawrence) is like a Disney fairy tale. Then she steals some ancient earrings from an African artifact shop, not knowing of the earrings powers. She then goes to a gas station that is being held up by a thief (Rob Schneider). She messes around with him while he's filling up the tank and checking under the hood. When they leave, he finds the other earring, which Jessica dropped. He then goes home and puts it on. This is where the fun begins, as the earrings switched their bodies. Now Jessica is in Clive's body, and Clive is in Jessica's body. Watch the movie to find out the rest.
Where the movie is the funniest is usually when Rob Schneider is put into bad situations because of the situation. Jessica finds out that her Disney-perfect life is not as perfect as she thought. This movie is romantic and teaches two lessons: what is on the inside is more important than what is on the outside, and not to take anything for granted because you might just turn into Rob Schneider (just kidding). The other lesson is not to take anything for granted because it might not be there the next day.
Oh and by the way, who else agrees with me that the hottest chick in the movie is not Jessica, but Eden (the witch)? I also think Sam Doumit (Eden) should get more screen time because she did a great job.
Movie Review: I HAD A BLAST
Summary: 5 Stars
YES, it's been done countless times before from BIG to FREAKY FRIDAY, but what really makes this such a fun movie is the cast. THE HOT CHICK is your standard role/body reversal flicks, this time it's Rob Schneider's petty thief with caustic teen beauty Rachel MacAdams. Schneider's impersonation of a teenager is hilarious and witty, and surprisingly very touching. His rapport with Jessica's best friend, Jessica's father and brother is priceless and engaging. Whether he's strutting around like a prissy drag queen, or trying to utilize his/her new peeing vessel, Schneider chews up the role and is gloriously funny. The fart/peeing gags work this time because they are part of the plot--imagine the difficulty a girl might have in using a urinal. Schneider as the gardener, the janitor, the cheerleader, he's a real hoot.
And once again we get the talented and underrated actress Anna Faris in the role of Jessica's friend, April. Faris has been the heart and soul of the SCARY MOVIE trilogies, a physical, sensual and sensitive performer who gives her all to any role she tackles. Here she's brilliant as the best friend who finds herself falling in love with the man Jessica's become. Other wonderful performances include: Michael O'Keefe as Jessica's jock father who wants to rekindle his marital passion; Matt Weinberg as Jessica's little brother, Boogar, who likes to dress up in his sister's clothes; Matthew Lawrence as Billy, Jessica's boyfriend who has a hard time believing Schneider is his girl. Add Adam Sandler's spacy bongo player in a few hilarious scenes, and you have a very funny, entertaining and surprisingly touching movie. I think it's Schneider's best so far. Remember, it is a comedy and you don't have to take it too seriously, but it's worth a look.
Movie Review: The hot chick the funnies movie ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie "THe hot chick"is the funniest movie I'v ever seen!!!The subject of the movie is amusing and interesting, I have never seen a movie with such a unique idea. The movie began as a legend of a pair of earrings who swich bodies. The movie itself is at the year 2002, it is about a young girl named Jessica how has a perfect life: the perfect look, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friends... .
Jessica saw in an antiquity shop this earrings, but jessica didnt know what this earrings can do. The owner of the shop told here that the earrings are not for sale but Jessica wanted them for the home-comming prom so she stole them.
As Jessica and her friends were on their way home Jessica lost one of the earrings and a 30 year old man who stole from a gase stashion found the earring. Here the story gets complicated, Jessica gets the body of a man, no-one belives here and she is miserable. At last she convinsed her best friend April that she is Jessica. April fals in love with the "boy" jessica. This is a excellent act of Rob Schneider. I personally think that Rob Schneider is one of the gratest acters today.
And back to our story jessica look's for a way to get back to her-self. Mean-while jessica missed her boyfriend .She tried talling him the truth but he didnt believe jessica that she is a boy.
At the end jessica found out that the earrings were the cause of all that happened. She went to conflict wuth the man that has her body.
All the story is in a defined time , because she needed to get the earrings back together befor the full moon stricks or else she would stay in that boby forever.
The story is lened with funny scenes.
Movie Review: Absolutely Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
I know this movie isn't exactly life-changing and it doesn't attack any real *issues* in the world, but if you're looking for a fun comedy that will have you laughing so hard you're practically crying, The Hot Chick is it. Age plays a huge factor for the audience - I'd recommend it to teenagers and people in their 20's, but anyone much older or younger will probably find it repulsive or confusing.
The basic storyline is that Jessica, this stereotypical popular girl, accidentally switches bodies with a disgusting man (played Rob Schneider). She overcomes a gazillion challenges while trying to get her body back and Rob Schneider should really be commended for his acting. Sure, this sort of character isn't going through any extreme mental drama, but it isn't as if normal teenage girls act just like her, either. Every nuance of over-superficiality is purposely there to make the audience laugh, and I can honestly say I was rolling on the floor with by the end of the movie (whether it be the first time I watched it or the tenth).
While almost every scene contained something hilarious, my favorite was when Rob Schneider and three other girls were having a pillow fight and s/he doesn't know her/his own strength and ends up practically throwing the other girls in the walls and knocking them out. Whoever was Anna Faris' stunt double did a fantastic job.
Overall, it's just a fun, happy romance/drama/comedy/action/etc. that deals with a wide variety of teenage issues, from accepting one's culture (as seen in Ling-ling, one of the girls in Jessica's clique) to parental marriage trouble.
Movie Review: Fun!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Hot Chick is a wonderful guilty pleasure. True, the plot is totally cliche and predictable, but I haven't laughed so hard at anything in a LONG time. Rob Schneider's previous crass vehicles ("Deuce Bigelow" and "The Animal") gave no hint that the "Saturday Night Live" vet was capable of a bravura - at times astonishingly convincing - performance as a gorgeous 16-year-old female cheerleader who wakes up one morning in the body of a balding, homely 30-year-old man. As the result of a pair of magic earrings, Jessica (Rachel McAdams) unwittingly trades bodies with Clive (Schneider), a small-time crook. We don't catch much more than a couple of glimpses of Clive in Jessica's body until a raucous climax, but for Jessica, her new male body is a life-altering experience. For one thing, Jessica must learn to negotiate the mechanics of urinating while standing up with the help of a confused men's room attendant (a hilarious Dick Gregory). And to explain her suddenly male presence at home, Jessica pretends to be a Mexican gardener named Taquito, who has to endure her dad (Michael O'Keefe) describing his sex life - and, worse, fend off a pass from her mom (Melora Hardin). Body-switch comedies usually wimp out in sexual situations, but this one takes full advantage.
Faris, who survived "Scary Movie 2," emerges as a promising young actress, and the same could be said of Rachel McAdams in her first sizable role. As for Schneider, he may be obnoxious, but he is, more important, talented and fearless, the driving force of the film.
This is mindless fun at its best.
