The Hot Chick | 2002 | PG-13 | - 5.4.4

A self-centered high school girl who abuses everyone around her and takes them for granted, gets her comeuppance and learns a few lessons when one morning she wakes up in the body of a 30-year-old man (Rob Schneider provides the body). Also with Rachel McAdams, Anna Faris, Andrew Keegan and Matthew Lawrence. [1:40]

SEX/NUDITY 5 - A young man and a young woman kiss passionately, she kisses down his neck and he describes how her kisses make him feel. A man and a young woman kiss a few times and young men and young women kiss. A woman reaches across a table to try to kiss a man, and then she crawls across a table to try to kiss him. A man scrubs a woman's back in a bathtub (we see the woman covered with bubbles to the shoulders), her husband walks in, they kiss passionately and then fall back into the tub together. A man drops his pants to show a young woman his private parts (we see his bare buttocks), he does it again for three young women (we see his bare buttocks again) and yet again for another young woman. A man pulls down his pants to show another man his "porn star trim." A young woman dances in an exotic dance club; she wears a bikini, swings around a pole, thrusts her hips and buttocks at an audience of men who try to put money in her costume. A man in a bikini is picked up by a man in a car who looks at him suggestively. We see several young men in a locker room; some are wrapped with towels around their waists and are bare-chested. A woman sees two men hugging and appears to be wondering what's going on. A man talks to another man about his sex life and the man gives him advice in another scene. A young woman eats a slushy seductively, and a man does the same thing. A man wakes up with a hand puppet over his erect genitals. Two young women sing a song about boys trying to get to "second base." A young woman tells a young man several times, "I am not going to have sex with you" when he tries to convince her to go away for the weekend with him. A young man asks a young woman if her dress is easy to get out of. A man says to a young man, "I should have made love to you when I had the chance" and the young man replies "Father Mulcahy?" A man makes a reference to masturbation. We see a young man's bare thighs while he sits on a toilet. We see a man in panties and tiny T-shirts or a tube top in a few scenes. A man looks at a Playboy magazine: we see the cover picture of a woman in a bikini. Young men and women dance in a night club and again at a prom and they thrust their hips and move suggestively; one scene shows a man and young woman dancing together, he lifts her shirt (showing her bare abdomen), she lifts his (showing his bare abdomen), then he tears the back of her shirt off and she does the same to him. A man and a group of young women admire young men at a nightclub and a man misunderstands thinking that the man is gay. A man ogles four young women as they go up an escalator. A young woman sleeps in a nightie. Cheerleaders wear short skirts and tops that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens, bare shoulders and bare thighs. The cheerleaders dance in a few scenes with kicks and hip thrusts. Young women wear tight tops and hip huggers that show cleavage, bare abdomens, and bare backs to the hip. A man (who is really a young woman) sits on a toilet and looks down below his waist and yells. A man describes items that were used for fertility rituals. We see several men bare-chested in Abyssinian garb. A boy dresses in his sister's clothing and makeup in several scenes. A young man has hickeys all over his neck.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A young woman kicks and punches a man repeatedly, he falls to the ground where she kicks him some more and we hear him moaning and whimpering. A young woman sprays a man with pepper spray, he tumbles down bleachers hitting his head hard on each step, then he slips on a pastry and falls down the rest of the bleachers. A woman falls off a ladder and over a railing, and a woman backs a car into a truck. A young woman drives a car recklessly and nearly hits a young man (he jumps out of the way and lands on the sidewalk). A man and a young man fight: one is bitten on the arm, one is kicked in both shins, the other is kicked in the groin, and one is swung by the hair and tossed into a pile of garbage. A man head-butts a young woman and she falls to the ground, a young woman punches a man in the face, a young woman steps on a young man's crotch. A man hits a young man in the face, a young man grabs a man around the throat, a man grabs a young woman around the throat. A man is hit in the head with a basketball, a man is elbowed in the face, and a man is shoved to the ground. A young man is tackled hard on the football field. A young woman is tackled to the floor by two security guards. A man driving a cart drives into a sign, it hits him on the head and knocks him out of the cart. A young woman is hit with many rolls of toilet paper and then the seat of a toilet. A boy has a black eye apparently from a bully. A woman honks her horn when a man puts his head under the hood of her car, causing him to hit his head, then she does it again and he hits his head again. A man hits a young woman with a pillow and she's knocked back, then he hits three young women with pillows sending them sailing into walls and falling to the floor unconscious. A man does not know how to urinate standing up, so he watches another man in a public restroom and when he tries to he ends up spraying urine all over the walls. We watch two women exchange form as a glow of light transfers between them. A man robs a gas station and a young woman shoplifts. A man pumps nacho cheese sauce into his mouth and drinks from the slushy machine (he gets "brain freeze"), and a man licks cheese sauce off dollar bills. A boy's nickname is "booger." A man holds a clump of ice dripping with urine. We hear several people urinating and flatulating in different scenes, and a young man vomits. A man sprays deodorant in his armpits and down his pants, has his face waxed, plucks his eyebrows, trims the hair in his nose and ears. A man's face is covered with blood-spotted tissue. A young woman is abusive to many people and a young man talks about young women very disrespectfully. We watch as a young woman morphs into a young man: her face changes, then her breasts disappear and hair sprouts on her/his chest.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
