Scott Brown Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

A surprisingly good-natured throwback to the '80s heyday of the body-switching genre.

Stephen Holden New York Times (Top Critic)

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.

Stephen Hunter Washington Post (Top Critic)

The movie's devices are so feeble, I think it was written on a napkin in a Denny's the day before principal photography began.

By the standards of knucklehead swill, The Hot Chick is pretty damned funny.

Laura Sinagra Village Voice (Top Critic)

Enough to make any woman or gay man wish they could beam themselves to planet Zoltron.

If you think it's a riot to see Rob Schneider in a young woman's clothes, then you'll enjoy The Hot Chick.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)

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.

Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

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.

This unabashedly stupid comedy is, well, unabashedly stupid.

Mitchell Vantrease Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

40

Wallows in gender stereotypes, solidifying the impression that Schneider can't compete with the likes of Sandler and fellow SNL alumnus Mike Myers.

Dennis Harvey Variety (Top Critic)

The slapstick is labored, and the bigger setpieces flat.

Lou Lumenick New York Post (Top Critic)

I haven't laughed harder at anything this year, but I would have a hard time recommending this gender-bending gut-buster to anyone who doesn't have a high threshold for crude sexual humor and stereotypes.

It's all enough to make one ponder the question that always comes up when a new King of Lowbrow is crowned: Why haven't the French heard of this guy?

Geoff Pevere Toronto Star (Top Critic)

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.

Rick Groen Globe and Mail (Top Critic)

Loosely speaking, we're in All of Me territory again, and, strictly speaking, Schneider is no Steve Martin.

James Berardinelli ReelViews (Top Critic)

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.

David Hunter Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Several degrees shy of the gross-out contests one expects from current teen fare.
