Love it

My kids and I reference movie quotes from the hot chick all the time. Super funny movie. Rob Schneider at his best. PG13 is an appropriate rating. Some sexual references, yet within context of the movie. Funny drug reference cameo by Adam Sandler.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (6 ):
Kids say (30 ):

This movie is horrendously crude and vulgar. Even by the low standards of Saturday Night Live-alumni movies, and by the even lower standards of Adam Sandler-produced movies, THE HOT CHICK is excruciating, loathsome, offensive, vile, and, even worse, it is not funny. To add insult to injury, it is also much too long.

There is a lot of blame to go around here -- from producer Adam Sandler to star and co-writer Rob Schneider (who, bi-racial himself, should be especially ashamed of the racist stereotyping of a Korean woman and her bi-racial daughter), to director Tom Brady, who brings out the worst in his cast and has no sense of comic timing whatsoever. But we have to reserve a special blame category for the MPAA, which gave the film a PG-13 rating when its content is closer to NC-17.
