The Hot Chick

(Reviewed April 7, 2003)

I caught this on video after missing it at the theatres, and you know what? It's actually not terrible! Most critics regarded "The Hot Chick" as pretty much worthless, but at least there are a few laughs in it--which automatically puts it head-and-shoulders above the abysmally unfunny and much more high-profile "Anger Management" (to pick another 2003 Happy Madison production).

Plus "The Hot Chick" features some really cute actresses, including the adorable Anna Faris, who looks like she could be the teenage daughter of Courtney Thorne-Smith. Speaking of whom, doesn't it make you bilious to see Thorne-Smith paired with that loud, talentless sack of guts Jim Belushi in "According to Jim?" Yeah, as if pairings like that ever happen in this universe. Even more egregious is seeing total-piece-of-trashy-ass Leah Remini hooked up with whoever that lumpy douchebag is in "The King of Queens."

But I digress.
