History Film / TheHotChick

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Jessica-in-Clive's body complaints that she "woke up as a man" and was [[{{Transgender}} born in the wrong body]] are very similar to one suffering pre-op gender transitioning or those suffering from gender dysmorphia and body issues.

* MistakenForGay: When Jessica-In-Clive's body gets emotional talking to her dad and leans onto him like a crying child would to their parent, Jessica's father gets unnerved by this behavior from Clive and then his wife (Jessica's mom) sees this from the inside of the kitchen window and gets the wrong idea.

* HaveAGayOldTime: Male Jessica has a lot of these moments, leading to her repeatedly being MistakenForGay by a bartender. When Clive gets his body back, [[spoiler:it turns out the bartender was in fact himself gay, and interpreted this as Clive coming on to him]].

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Jessica-in-Clive's body complaints that she "woke up as a man" and was born in the wrong body are very similar to one suffering pre-op gender transitioning or those suffering from gender dysmorphia and body issues.

** The poster of the Backstreet Boys.

* MsFanservice: As Creator/RogerEbert noted, it's terribly ironic how much the film ''[[SubvertedTrope subverts]]'' this trope for Jessica, considering how most members of the audience would probably have preferred MUCH more screen time of Clive checking out ([[ManIFeelLikeAWoman in various ways]]) being in a sexy young woman's body--and MUCH less of [[{{Squick}} the reverse....]]

* {{Transgender}}: Jessica's little brother Boog.

* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Semi-Subverted. After the main character, a ditzy AlphaBitch teenager, suddenly [[FreakyFridayFlip switches bodies with a local crook]], she immediately suspects the goth chick in school to be responsible. She's not, though she does admit that she tried to curse her with dandruff, make her hair fall out and give her smaller boobs (which means that she attempted magic, but failed--most likely because the only known supernatural thing in this movie's universe are the earrings that transform the bodies of two people into the other person's appearance. Which is kind of ironic, due to how the main plot is caused by in-universe magic).

** And bad things always happening to Alice's mom. Giving her major headaches. She's last seen with a neck brace while hugging her daughter. Now that everything's back to normal, there's likely no reason for her to be a ChewToy anymore.

* YourCheatingHeart: Jake openly cheats on April constantly.
** Jessica's mom attempts to hit on her gardener Clive (unaware it's really Jessica in Clive's body) due to being sexually frustrated.

* BiTheWay: One of the male costumers at the strip club.
** April, arguably. She briefly fell in love with Jessica-in-Clive's body.

* BiTheWay: One of the costumers at the strip club.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Jessica chastises April for simply eating a donut, calling her a "binger" and reminding her that the food could go straight to her buttocks. Then, after stealing the donut, eats it herself in front of April.

* OpenMindedParent: Alice's dad, it seems. He doesn't want his crazy wife to meddle in their daughter's life.

* BlatantLies: The guy who Clive (in Jessica's body) beats up in an alley lied in the news that he was trying to help her. And the guy who recorded the whole thing claims he just happens to be on the scene.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: The advertisements focus more on Creator/RobSchneider and less on Rachel [=McAdams=]. To be fair at the time of the film's releases she was not very well known as she hadn't starred in ''Film/MeanGirls'' yet.

* Jessica-In-Clive's body telling April how she and April met when they were kids; detailing April being bullied and all. It works.
** Comically averted when Male Jessica tries to convince Billy one more time. When it seems that there's going to be a breakthrough, Billy is disgusted and runs off.

* FanService: The HoneyBee cheerleaders routine.

** The Fenmore Foxes cheerleading dance routine, with leader Bianca making eyes at the camera.

* GenderBender

** April, arguably. She briefly fell in love with Jessica while in Clive's body.

** And bad things always happening to Alice's mom. Giving her major headaches.

* TheGenericGuy / FlatCharacter: Lulu doesn't really distinguish herself amongst the female protagonists unlike the others. Eden's a goth, Keecia has her unique half-Asian parentage, April is Jessica's best friend, Hildenburg is overweight and has her relationship with Marlon, and Jessica is the main character. Lulu just doesn't have that much in comparison. It doesn't help that she has the least lines out of the posse.

** Alice, arguably. She briefly fell in love with Jessica while in Clive's body.

* RunningGag: Adam Sandler's character keep banging the bongo. (see Let the Background Music On)

After the main character, a ditzy AlphaBitch teenager, suddenly [[FreakyFridayFlip switches bodies with a local crook]], she immediately suspects the goth chick in school to be responsible. She's not, though she does admit that she tried to curse her with smaller boobs (which means that she attempted magic, but failed -most likely because the only supernatural thing in this movie's universe are the earrings that transform the bodies of two people into the other person's appearance. Which is kind of ironic, due to how the main plot is caused by in-universe magic-).

* {{Jerkass}}: Clive has no redeeming qualities at all, from petty thievery to only agreeing to give Jessica back her body if he can rent it to pay off gambling debts. [[JerkJock Jake]] is an jerk too. Plus, Bianca makes Jess seem like a saint at the beginning of the film.

* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Semi-Subverted.

* LovableAlphaBitch: Jessica can be a considerable bitch, but she is friendly with others when she needs to.

* LovableAlphaBitch: Bianca is an evil bitch and a more sinister version of Jessica.

* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Semi-Subverted. After the main character, a ditzy AlphaBitch teenager, suddenly [[FreakyFridayFlip switches bodies with a local crook]], she immediately suspects the goth chick in school to be responsible.

* LaserGuidedKarma: While Clive (in Jessica's body) gives Jake a lap-dance, he reverts back to his original body, freaking out and grossed out Jake. In a deleted scene, he apologized to Alice for cheating on her, but she just dumps him.
