Genial schlubby dope Rob Schneider attempts to mine comedic gold from a ridiculous premise, as a pair of enchanted Egyptian earrings switch𒁏 the brains of grubby thieving lowlife Clive (Schneider) and spoiled brat Jessica (Rachel McAdams). Yes, it's a return to the body-swap comedy fad of the '80s (Big, Vice Versa), with the added bonus of Schneider flouncing around in skimpy clothing.

In fairness, 💮there are some attempts to make this a heartwarmer - sweetness triumphs in the end - but The Hot Chick's mainly concerned with tampons, farting and Schneider🐭's penis. What did you expect from the guy behind Deuce Bigalow?

A more gifted comedian like Mike Myers might have wrung some hearty laughs from the silly concept, and would alm❀ost certainly have found more to say about gender politics. All Schneider manages to do is come across as an unsightly transvestite. Funny? Occasionally. Memorable? Only in a mentally scarring kind of way. Believe us, Schneider in drag is an image you could well do without.
