The Hot Chick is a 2002 comedy film starring Rob Schneider as the title character Jessica, a popular teenage girl who mysteriously switches bodies with a 30-year-old criminal, and Rachel McAdams as the criminal. The bulk of the film revolves around the efforts of Jessica and her cheerleader friends to get Jessica's body back while dealing with awkward social situations. The film was directed by Tom Brady, and produced by Adam Sandler, who also had a small role in the film as the "Mambuza Bongo Player", a character based on one played by Schneider in a Saturday Night Live sketch. Sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry, and singers Ashlee Simpson, Angie Stone and Michelle Branch also had small roles. It was filmed, in part, at El Segundo High School and Redondo Union High School. [edit] PlotThe film begins in an Abyssinian castle in 50 BC, where a princess uses a pair of enchanted earrings to escape an arranged marriage by switching bodies with a slave girl. When each woman wears one of the earrings, their bodies are magically switched with each other while their minds remain in place. The rest of the film is set in the modern-day suburban home of Jessica Spencer (McAdams), the beautiful but selfish "hot chick" of the film's title. Jessica's best friend is April (Faris), Lulu (Holden) is also her friend, and her friend Keecia (Murray) is a girl of mixed ethnicity whose Korean mother regularly embarrasses her. All four girls are cheerleaders. At school, Jessica makes fun of an overweight girl named Hildenburg (Kuhlmann) and a Wiccan girl named Eden (Doumit). After that, Jessica and her friends visit the local mall, where Jessica gets her rival Bianca (Laas) into trouble and finds the earrings in an African-themed store. The earrings are not for sale, so Jessica steals them. Shortly afterward, a small-time criminal named Clive (Schneider) robs a nearby gas station. When Jessica and her friends stop there and mistake him for an employee, he services their car to avoid raising suspicion. Jessica accidentally drops one of the earrings on the ground, the girls drive away, and Clive picks up the earring. That evening, in their respective homes, Jessica and Clive put on their earrings. When they wake up the next morning, each of them is trapped in the other's body. This is especially difficult for Jessica, who has a cheerleading competition and the school prom coming up soon. After Jessica convinces her friends of who she is, they help her investigate the body switch. Hildenburg, Eden, and Bianca are all innocent, Hildenburg and Eden join Jessica after she apologizes to them, and Eden finds a picture of the earrings on the internet. When the girls return to the African store, the shopkeeper tells them they must find the other earring soon or the change will be permanent. Meanwhile, Jessica is hired for two jobs while secretly living with April. At her own home, where she works as a gardener, her parents tell her about their marital problems and she helps them rekindle their sex life. At school, while cleaning the boys' locker room as a janitor, she spies on her boyfriend Billy, who truly loves her, and April's boyfriend Jake, who has another girlfriend. Faced with Jake's infidelity, April falls in love with Jessica, who agrees to take her to the prom. At the cheering competition, Jessica signals romantically to Billy while disguised as the school mascot. During this time, Clive has been using Jessica's body to make money from men, including Billy, who gives him his money and car, believing he is Jessica. When the head of Jessica's mascot suit falls off at the cheering competition, Billy becomes confused and leaves with another girl. On the evening of the prom, Hildenburg sees a video of Clive robbing a man on the TV news, goes to the scene of the crime, and finds a business card for the club where Clive works as a pole dancer. She informs Jessica at the prom, and the girls go to the club. When they find Clive, Jessica steals his earring and puts it on herself along with the other one. With the two earrings now on the same person, Jessica and Clive's bodies switch back to their original owners. After Jessica makes up with Billy, the film ends with the school's graduation ceremony, in which Keecia proudly accepts her ethnic heritage, followed by a scene in which Clive, running from the law and still dressed in lingerie, is abducted by a bartender who believes he is a homosexual.
