\"\"\/Watched “The Hot Chick<\/a>” on DVD. I didn’t go to the movies when it was there because of a really misleading theatrical trailer. It really didn’t do the film any justice. I am glad I finally rented it.<\/p>\n

At first, the story. There are two movies which came out some time after “The Hot Chick<\/a>” (2002), but each of which has taken half of the story from it. “Freaky Friday<\/a>” (2003) used the part with body exchanging according to some magic spell. Also there are bits about relations in the family. “Mean Girls<\/a>” (2004) on the other hand, used all the stuff about a bunch of hot chicks in the school or college or whatever. I mean of course none of this are new ideas anyway, but I could feel the strong connection this time. By the way, out of all three movies “The Hot Chick<\/a>” is by far the best.<\/p>\n

Secondly, acting. Many cheap and simple movies can be really boosted by good acting. I mean the should be at least something a movie should offer. Well, it does in this case. Rob Schneider<\/a> did an amazing job here. His part itself wasn’t that great. It is obvious that he is “overqualified” for this job. Oh, and he is moving up the rating table of my favourite comics pretty fast. I think I’ll be watching more of his movies in the near future.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, humor. Men and women live together from day to day. Many things are getting blurred and forgotten by the routine. But it is good to stop sometimes and see that we are actually different. Many things that women do and that men don’t even notice will look really strange and weird coming from a man. The opposite is true also. Basing a film on such differences is basically a guaranteed success. I like this type of humor, but it is not that fresh. Probably that’s just me. Maybe that is because Olga and I do similar comparisons pretty often. Those who don’t will love the film.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the film is good. It provides entertainment and might even suggest a thing or two to a growing teenager. 6 out of 10.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
