Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): "Ling Ling" is a stereotypical Chinese name and does not come close to a Korean name. When Keesha's mother first appears in the movie, she is dressed in traditional Chinese clothing and not Korean. At the graduation scene at the end, however, Keesha is wearing correct Korean traditional dress.

Quotes:

Jessica Spencer, April: Boys are cheats and liars, they're such a big disgrace. They will tell you anything to get to second base... ball, baseball he thinks he's gonna score. If you let him go all the way then you are a hor... ticulture studies flowers, geologist studies rocks. The only thing a guy wants from you is a place to put his cock...

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.
