Critics Consensus

The Hottie and the Nottie is a crass, predictable, and ineptly staged gross-out comedy that serves little purpose beyond existing as another monument to Paris Hilton's vanity.

Astonishingly sexist.

In truth, parts of The Hottie and the Nottie are no worse than much of the romcom they sucker us with on any given week.

Times (UK)

This parody is the divine joke: a heavenly reminder of how fabulously unfair real life is for the rest of us plain mortals.

Behind The Lens

Starring Paris Hilton, Christine Lakin and Joel David Moore, The Hottie & The Nottie is the most heartwarming Valentine one could ever hope to receive.

Just about everything about it feels made for viewing at home, a fact underscored by the porn star monotone that is Hilton's 'acting' voice.

Rated: 0/4

The critics did a terrible job. Me and my friends decided to go find a movie with a terrible rating and watch it for fun. This movie exceeded expectations on an immaculate level. I am proud to say that I enjoyed this movie and am upset with the rating it was given. I highly recommend. You may fall in love with the movie as the charector feel in love with each other. The cast for this movie could not have been better. The acting was amazing and the twists made the movie even more enjoyable. This is a movie that I will show to my kids one day. Even the smallest charector in this movie had a grand impact on the humor. Me and my friends found ourselves laughing, smiling and all in all just enjoying the movie. We were so happy yet so upset at the same time. We were invested in the movie and wanted to see what would happen next. We were upset that anyone would allow these critics to rate movies. I demand retribution for this movie. Change the rating. This movie bare minimally deserves a 4 star rating and to tell you the truth I think it deserves close to a 5/5. Whether you love comedies, romances, suspensfullness or even just a relaxing movie, this movie was made for you. It was made for me. And it was made for everyone. It is a must watch. I’ll say it again and I’ll say it 1000 more times. Watch this movie and give it an appropriate rating. I loved this movie and I loved that you took the time to read my rating. I hope you end up watching the movie and adding a review under mine. Long live “The Hottie and the Nottie”

There's only one scene with unexpected purity, while the rest label this as a nottie due to the frivolously inept direction offensively parodying flaws at utterly ridiculous, desperate lengths with unfunny results by disapproval annoyance. (C-)
