User Review
Surprisingly funny comedy
Rating: 8/10
First off let it be said, I'm a pretty big fan of comedies. I rather
enjoyed
Schneider's 1st film Deuce Bigelow, but gagged at the supreme awfulness of
the Animal. The script to the Hot Chick is surprisingly good and
well-organized (though it's premise is basically a raunchier riff on 80s
body switch movies like vice-versa and freaky friday without any
moralizing). It may not be original (similar to my other favorite comedy
so
far this year, old school) and it may not win any oscars , but it's funny,
follows an established formula well, and doesn't deteriorate in the third
act like a lot of comedies I've seen as of late into moralizing or
seemingly
tacked on drama. Rob Schneider and Anna Farris are incredibly funny
together. Watch for a cameo by Adam Sandler. If youre in the mood for
citizen kane or next year's oscar winners, look elsewhere. If you're in
the
mood for good, dumb, fairly raunchy fun to watch with a couple of
friends -
this movie's great.
