Storyline

Jessica Spencer is the hottest, most popular girl in high school. Jessica, her best friend April, and a couple of other hot girls Lulu and Keecia visit the mall to hang out and do some shopping. They enter a new age store, where they check out a pair of ancient earrings. Unbeknownst to Jessica, these are magical ones set in ancient Abyssinia. A princess known as Princess Nawa is disgusted by the groom of her arranged marriage and switches bodies with a slave girl by means of an enchanted set of earrings. Since the earrings are not for sale, Jessica steals them. But the next morning she gets a big dose of reality when she wakes up in the body of a 30-something lowlife male, Clive, a career criminal. Clive finds himself in Jessica's body. Now it's up to Jessica (in Clive's body) to find a way to get her body back, while Clive (in Jessica's body) takes advantage of his new body to set in motion a crime spree to put the blame on Jessica!

Trivia

The No Secrets song "That's What Girls Do" was heard at the end credits of The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002). In this movie, once the song begins, Anna Faris is seen wearing a television shirt of "The Powerpuff Girls".

Goofs

At the end of the film when Clive is handcuffed inside the police car he opens the door and escapes. This is factually impossible since police cars do not have handles on the inside and can only be opened from the exterior doors.

Surprisingly Funny

A very popular girl named Jessica(Rachel McAdams)accidently switches body with a man who is also a criminal(Rob Schneider)because of a pair of magical earrings. Now Jessica is trapped in a man's body and along with her best friend April(Anna Faris)she must find her body before it's too late but on the good side, Jessica learns a lot about herself, her family and her friends that she did not know before. I didn't have any high expectations for this movie but surprisingly it wasn't so bad and it had a few very funny moments. Oh, and by the way, Anna Faris is the real hot chick in this movie! Anyways, I would give The Hot Chick 6.5/10.
