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.

I honestly don't know how anyone could hate this movie. Funny, doesn't hold back and stacked with an all-star cast. Just a great movie to watch and relax.
