 "For those who pride themselves on sophisticated, discerning taste, this might not seem like the proper cup of tea, however it is almost guaranteed that even the stuffiest cinema goers will laugh their *** off for an hour-and-a-half."
-- Daniel Baig, FILMSTEW.COM
 "Strictly a 'guy's film' in the worst sense of the expression."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"Schneider's mugging is relentless and his constant need to suddenly transpose himself into another character undermines the story's continuity and progression."
-- Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"Schnieder bounces around with limp wrists, wearing tight tummy tops and hip huggers, twirling his hair on his finger and assuming that's enough to sustain laughs..."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"The execution is so pedestrian that the most positive comment we can make is that Rob Schneider actually turns in a pretty convincing performance as a prissy teenage girl."
-- Ross Brooks, CITYSEARCH
"Rob Schneider's infantile cross-dressing routines fill The Hot Chick, the latest gimmick from this unimaginative comedian."
-- Paul Clinton, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"...one big laugh, three or four mild giggles, and a whole lot of not much else."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"Deep down, I realized the harsh reality of my situation: I would leave the theater with a lower I.Q. than when I had entered."
-- Blake French, FILMCRITIC.COM
"The Cold Turkey would've been a far better title."
-- Harry Guerin, RTE INTERACTIVE (DUBLIN, IRELAND)
"It's push-the-limits teen comedy, the type written by people who can't come up with legitimate funny, and it's used so extensively that good bits are hopelessly overshadowed."
-- Forrest Hartman, RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
"The movie spends more time with Schneider than with newcomer McAdams, even though her performance is more interesting (and funnier) than his."
-- Jim Lane, SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW
"Basically harmless and grudgingly funny."
-- Jessica Letkemann, PREMIERE MAGAZINE
"Couldn't someone take Rob Schneider and have him switch bodies with a funny person?"
-- Paul Matwychuk, VUE WEEKLY (EDMONTON, CANADA)

"The bodily function jokes are about what you'd expect, but there are rich veins of funny stuff in this movie."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES
"A farce of a parody of a comedy of a premise, it isn't a comparison to reality so much as it is a commentary about our knowledge of films."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
""Freaky Friday," it's not."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"If you pitch your expectations at an all time low, you could do worse than this oddly cheerful -- but not particularly funny -- body-switching farce."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"It is silly enough to keep you laughing."
-- Dan Gross, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
"What's the most positive thing that can be said about the new Rob Schneider vehicle? Well, it's not as pathetic as The Animal."
-- Ken Hanke, MOUNTAIN XPRESS (ASHEVILLE, NC)
"This is a movie that starts out like Heathers, then becomes Bring it On, then becomes unwatchable."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
""Sorority Boys" was funnier, and that movie was pretty bad."
-- John Larsen, LIGHT VIEWS
"Its and pieces of The Hot Chick are so hilarious, and Schneider's performance is so fine, it's a real shame that so much of the movie -- again, as in The Animal -- is a slapdash mess."
-- Joe Leydon, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Jam-packed with literally bruising jokes. Every five minutes or so, someone gets clocked."
-- Margaret A. McGurk, CINCINNATI ENQUIRER

ROTTEN 32%
Avg. Rating: 4.3/10 |
"One of the most depressing movie-going experiences I can think of is to sit through about 90 minutes of a so-called 'comedy' and not laugh once."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"A surprisingly good-natured throwback to the '80s heyday of the body-switching genre."
-- Scott Brown, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"By the standards of knucklehead swill, The Hot Chick is pretty damned funny."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
"The verdict: Two bodies and hardly a laugh between them."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"If you think it's a riot to see Rob Schneider in a young woman's clothes, then you'll enjoy The Hot Chick."
-- Charles Ealy, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"The movie resolutely avoids all the comic possibilities of its situation, and becomes one more dumb high school comedy about sex gags and prom dates."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Loosely speaking, we're in All of Me territory again, and, strictly speaking, Schneider is no Steve Martin."
-- Rick Groen, GLOBE AND MAIL
"The slapstick is labored, and the bigger setpieces flat."
-- Dennis Harvey, VARIETY
"A crude teen-oriented variation on a theme that the playwright Craig Lucas explored with infinitely more grace and eloquence in his Prelude to a Kiss."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
"Several degrees shy of the gross-out contests one expects from current teen fare."
-- David Hunter, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"Too lazy to take advantage of its semi-humorous premise."
-- Sean Means, SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
