 I laughed; so sue me..., 2007-12-06
As utterly uninspired and ridiculous as `The Hot Chick' is (and what Rob Schneider movie isn't utterly ridiculous) I couldn't help but find it funny. Sure, none of the laughs are really original and none of them are smart or witty in the way that some newer comedies have been but `The Hot Chick' will succeed it smacking your funny bone around quite a bit. It's stupid humor, and as can be assumed by the main star and the subject matter it's going to be `dirty' humor as well, but it's humorous and that's what counts.
The story revolves around rich snob Jessica and petty thief Clive who magically switch places after a pair of cursed earrings cross their paths. I know, I know, the beginning is a total `Mummy' rip off but come on, it's stupid yet funny. Anyways, with this pair of earrings in their possession (each has one half of the set) they wake up in the others body and that's when everything hits the fan. Clive is happy with his newfound situation since he realizes he can use Jessica's body to make much more money but Jessica is devastated to wake up in Clive's body (who wouldn't be) and so she enlists the help of her best friend April and a slew of other girls to get her old body back.
This is far from an original idea and the funny is far from fresh, but it's still extremely funny. It's predictable as all get out but it's mindless fun and sometimes you just want to sit back, turn off the brain and soak in the funny.
Rob Schneider is not the most talented actor or even the funniest comedian but here he does serve up laughs effectively. I just love Anna Faris. She has that whole `sweet girl' shtick brilliantly and while this is not her best performance it is still delightful. Michael O'Keefe and Melora Hardin are effective as Jessica's troubled parents who look to their mysterious gardener (Clive, er um, Jessica) for advise. The rest of the cast is hot or miss and no one else really has enough screen time to justify a shout out but no one takes away from the film and Adam Sandler's cameo is quite memorable and entertaining.
So, it's not perfect, not even close, but as far as commercial comedies go it's worth watching at least once. Just know not to expect anything revolutionary or thought provoking, but I'm sure that you can ascertain that by the cover of the DVD, let alone the name that occupies the `starring' slot.
Rob Schneider at his best ;), 2007-10-01
I'd give this two stars really, though I stuck an extra one in for Rob Schneider's performance.
Cheesy ancient treasure in modern times causing a 'body swap' between a middle aged man(criminal) and a high school girl(tramp). Until the actual 'body swap' happens, you'll have to put up with about 30 nearly intolerable minutes of high school cheerleader crap, watching girls go to the mall and shop and act like the complete airheads they are supposed to be. If you haven't turned it off by that point (it was a close thing for me) then it does actually start to get funny, once the 'accident' happens.
This movie is a light hearted comedy that doesn't take it self at all seriously and can be amusing to watch in the same way that other Sandler/Schneider films have been. Though I wouldn't consider it one of the better of the "Happy Madison" productions; its forgettable.

Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, 2007-03-30
A brilliant updating of Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. Almost every possible combination of what it means to be a man or a woman is explored. And the ulitmate question of the movie: how do you know if it is love? Is put to the test by numerous situations. Of course, even if it is true love, are there limits to what a person is willing to do for the one they love?

Is Rob Schneider Funny? Yes, he's very very funny, 2007-02-26
Rob Schneider and his sense of the absurd really resonate
with me.. some people might not find him funny or find
his comedy to be somewhat degrading... to me... this just
makes him that much funnier!!!
