Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Does Revelations say anything that could be interpreted as 'The end is nigh when Rob Schneider turns into a woman in a movie that's funny, sweet and clever'? If so, prepare to meet your maker, because The Hot Chick is exactly that. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I will say this for the film -- it's in color. And, it was mostly in focus. And I really can't say anymore for it beyond that. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: The first half hour of Hot Chick, before the switch, plays like soft-core porno from the '60s. The rest plays like a bad Saturday Night Live sketch stretched to the breaking point. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: 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. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: By the standards of knucklehead swill, The Hot Chick is pretty damned funny. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: On the surface The Hot Chick</i is not so hot: loud, vulgar and contrived, for starters. But beneath its crass veneer, this film, from Adam Sandler's Happy Madison production company, proves as provocatively subversive as his Eight Crazy Nights. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: A surprisingly good-natured throwback to the '80s heyday of the body-switching genre. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Loosely speaking, we're in All of Me territory again, and, strictly speaking, Schneider is no Steve Martin. Read more
Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning 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. Read more
John Patterson, L.A. Weekly: Marks no discernible improvement on its predecessors Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and The Animal, though the sight of the deeply unprepossessing Schneider all dolled up for girlie business is good for a few shallow chuckles. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Call it tastelessness with a message -- a dubious combination, like, for sure. Still, Schneider pulls off the masquerade pretty well. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: 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. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: 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. Read more
C.W. Nevius, San Francisco Chronicle: Instead of the easy laughs, Schneider and Brady are going for something a little deeper. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: While the result is neither poetry nor politics, it does rather gleefully turn a few dumbass guy's-guy movie comedy conventions on their heads. Read more
Laura Sinagra, Village Voice: Enough to make any woman or gay man wish they could beam themselves to planet Zoltron. Read more
