Review of The Hot Chick (2002) by Xevaztian V — 06 Sep 2009

This is one of, if not my all time favorite comedy. The movie is about a kind of mean spirited popular cheerleader who steals a pair of ancient Egyptian earrings that have the "curse" of making the wearers switch bodies.

At a gas station that Rob Schneider is robbing, Jessica drops one of the earrings while wearing the other. Spence (Rob Schneider) finds it and puts it on. Next morning their bodies have been switched.

Jessica at times forgets she's in a guy's body and all throughout the movie still pursues Jessica's boyfriend Billie (Matthew Lawrence). All through the movie, Billie's really confused.

April (Anna Faris) is superb as Jessica's best friend. She's cute, goofy, and of course beautiful. Anna seems to be great in. The movie is funny, very original (despite what other critiques say).

The concept of Jessica's little gay brother is also hilarious, as well as cute. The little boy who played him is great and very natural. I think that the idea that Jessica at times forgets she's got the body of a guy and acts and speaks like a girl and freaks out those around him/her is really very funny, such as at the cheerleading competition when he's in a mascot uniform and starts making love signs with Billy and he replies thinking its Jessica, then the bee mask falls off.

It's very, very funny. It's not vulgar at all. It's nothing like the "Teen" movies or the "Scary Movie" or all those other meaningless, unfunny movies with the word "Movie" as part of the title.

It's clean, it's vulgar if you're used to Disney films, but it is a family film if you've got a real family, not a Disney family. I love horror and thriller films. Comedy's not one of my favorite genres, but this movie is super, super funny, original, watchable and enjoyable.
