DVD The Hot Chick
It's no surprise that The Hot Chick is stupid; what's remarkable is the ambition of its stupidity. After a hokey, Mummy-like prologue to establish the body-switching spell cast by an ancient pair of Abyssinian earrings, the low-concept lunacy begins when those earrings are divided, eons later, between a cruel-minded high school campus queen (Rachel McAdams) and a small-time crook (Rob Schneider), who switch bodies (externally he's the hot chick, and she's the vulgar sleazeball) and must cope with the consequences of their sudden gender crisis. This tired idea may seem fresh and funny to eight-year-olds and morons, but Schneider and first-time director Tom Brady (who wrote Schneider's The Animal) fail to fulfill the potential of their ripe comedic premise. McAdams plays a guy better than Schneider plays a girl (which explains her limited screen time), and the expected jokes (mostly involving urinals and awkward prom dates) are sluggishly uninspired. In a cameo role as a dreadlocked stoner, coproducer Adam Sandler offers only brief comedic respite. --Jeff Shannon
It doesn't matter how many of these "Body-change" movies you have seen - You can always be amazed at the 'uncovered' areas the new ones seem to find..
The Hot Chick has an awesome cast that have amazing talent within this genre.. Rob Schneider - an expert at putting himself in the most uncomfortable positions (Animal, Deuce Bigalow; Male Gigolo) - Anna Feris the queen of satire herself(Scary Movie 1, 2 & 3) - and lastly Rachel McAdams who puts herself into a different role everytime you see her (The Notebook, Wedding Crashers, Red Eye)..
Take a beautiful - rich & popular girl & switch her with a lowlife 30 year old dead beat - and what do you get? ".. this has to be the worst day of my life"..
Want to laugh - want to experience the opposite sex to the very extreme - Then The Hot Chick is for you..
5 Stars!
Silly funny escapist fluff
I actually quite liked this movie. I admit to laughing in one or two or more scenes. Rob Schnieder is usually so silly you have to laugh and this was no exception. Of course the movie wouldn't be complete without a cameo by Adam Sandler. It stars a younger Rachel McAdams, Ashlee Simpson and a host of other familiar looking faces. Don't watch this if you're waiting to see Oscar winning performances, but if you want to laugh out loud, groan and want to puke all at the same time, then this is for you.
A Pleasant Surprise
"The Hot Chick" pretty much beats out its bad teen comedies competition and is a whole lot more subtle and cutting edge than "Freaky Friday". I normally do not find Rob Schneider particularly entertaining but because he is only one of three main characters he does not feel compelled to carry the whole movie and his performance is reasonably restrained. Normally I feel much the same about Adam Sandler but he is hilarious as the bongo playing "you can put your weed in there" salesman.
Rachel McAdams and Anna Faris are excellent. McAdams "Mean Girls"
performance was obviously not an accident and fortunately Faris can play someone besides Scary Movies' Cindy Campbell. Maria-Elena Laas is perfect as McAdams rival.
What elevates "The Hot Chick" is one component of its mixed bag of humor. Although much of the scatological humor is moronic there is a whole lot of subtle underplayed stuff that is flat-out funny. For example: when the security guards arrest Bianca for shoplifting one of them says "you are coming with us Winona" and when McAdams is opening the box jewelry box the suspenseful music is being supplied by a stoned Sandler on the bongos.
Saturday Night Live alum and Adam Sandler sidekick Rob Schneider plays the title character of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, a miserable fish-tank cleaner who stumbles onto a new and different lifestyle when he looks after the fish of a high-priced male prostitute (Oded Fehr from The Mummy). Deuce teams up with a man-pimp (Eddie Griffin), gets harassed by a crazed cop (William Forsythe), and of course falls in love with a cute client (Arija Bareikis). The nonsensical plot is festooned with gags about wet T-shirts, foul-mouthed senior citizens, flatulence, Tourette's syndrome, narcolepsy, and just about everything else you might imagine. More surprising is that, by and large, the movie works. It's a combination of bad taste and goodheartedness, similar to There's...

You expect cheap gags from a Rob Schneider movie, and The Animal delivers in the best possible way. Schneider plays Marvin Mange, a schlub of a police file clerk who drives off a cliff and is horribly mangled--only to wake up not only whole, but feeling better than he ever has in his life. He suddenly develops strange powers that lead to him being praised as a super cop. Unfortunately, his powers are the result of a scientist's bizarre experiment--and before long, some side effects start to take over his life. It's hard to put a finger on Schneider's appeal, but he's got something. He can get away with tasteless jokes about bestiality and bodily functions because... well... he's sort of helplessly sympathetic, and somehow this actually makes him funny. --Bret FetzerMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Rob Schneider - Colleen Haskell Director(s): Luke Greenfield DVD Release Date: Released the 30 October 2001 Usually ships in 24 hours

Roasted by critics but surprisingly tenacious at the box office, White Chicks is the kind of comedy that thrives (well, maybe) on home video. Faint praise indeed, but it allows comedy fans an opportunity to cut the Wayans brothers (costars Marlon and Shawn, and director-cowriter Keenen Ivory) some slack and at least try to answer the obvious question, what were they thinking? For the sake of charity, let's ignore charges of reverse racism that plagued this would-be comedy about a pair of FBI agents (Marlon and Shawn) who go undercover as over-privileged white debutantes to thwart a kidnapping scheme, and let's allow that comedy--not social satire--is the Wayans' top priority. If you can get past the fart jokes, the freakishly unconvincing "white chick" makeup,...

This freewheeling parody tosses horror movies, Eminem, The Matrix, and much more into a cinematic blender. Scary Movie 3 centers around Cindy (Anna Faris, Lost in Translation), a bubble-headed young newscaster who believes that a deadly videotape has some mysterious connection to the aliens who've been making crop circles in the cornfield of a local farmer (Charlie Sheen, Young Guns), whose brother (Simon Rex) hopes to win a local rap contest. Along for the ride are Queen Latifah, George Carlin, Anthony Anderson, Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Jeremy Piven, Camryn Manheim, Ja Rule, dozens of rap stars, and Leslie Nielsen as the President of the U.S. No need to have seen the first two Scary Movie flicks--though a few of the characters recur, the...
