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.

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

Meh. It was a strange little film, I think Adam Sandler would have been so much funnier in this than Roy Schneider. 2/5 stars.

It doesn’t matter that this film isn’t the best of scripting, it is fun for a nice film night. It is good that not all films need to have a purpose or goal. The humor is good, even it is a bit over the top. Rob Schneider imitates a perfect teenage girl. And Rachel McAdams plays an amazing imitation of a crook of a Rob Schneider! “I have to do WHAT?!” Anna Faris is fantastic as April, and you can understand with her facial over expression why she landed later on in the Scary Movie franchise! Even smaller roles like Booger bring warmth and a laugh Adam Sandler’s small role, will be remembered as hilarious in things like “look there you can store your weed” and Meghan Kuhlmann as Hildenburg is great! The script is predictable and it might lack depth, but does that matter? Not at all, I found it comic as hell!

Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, o filme tem cenas bacaninhas, gostei do rob Schneider como protagonista, o elenco é bacana e ajuda a melhorar um pouco o filme e a trilha sonora de rock do fiome deu um ajuda também no filme, com tudo isso, eu até que recomendo esse filme.

It’s fun. Not every movie has to have a life-changing message.

A simply terrible take on the Freaky Friday/Vice Versa/etc. formula. The only reason I continued watching was to appreciate the adorable Anna Faris.
