History Film / TheHotChick

* 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 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).

* KarmicTransformation: Jessica transformed into Clive after he tormented the guy when she mistook him for a mechanic. While wandering around in Clive's body, she realizes how much she took her life for granted.

* BiggusDickus: Implied with April's ReactionShot

* CantYouReadTheSign: "No strangling the dancers" "Monday night is gay night"

* PerkyGoth: Eden (after she joins the GirlPosse)

* ShowingOffTheNewBody:What Clive does in Jessica's body,especially when he gets a stripping job.
* 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.

* TransformationTrinket: the earrings

* FanDisservice: Anytime Creator/RobSchneider is shown wearing women's clothing

* 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 smaller boobs (which means that she attempted magic in-universe, but failed).

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

* AlphaBitch:
** Jessica, who's actually more of a LovableAlphaBitch.
*** At the end maybe, but in the beginning... not so much.
*** She does comfort her little brother who got bullied at school but went back to being mad at him when she saw him wearing her lipstick.
** And Bianca, who is the evil one of the two.

* HumiliationConga: Clive getting honked two times and getting a burn in his arm by Jessica.

* {{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 asshole too. Plus, Bianca makes Jess seem like a saint at the beginning of the film.

* LovableJock: Billy, contrasted to [[JerkJock Jake]]. Why the former still hangs out with the latter is anyone's guess. He does descend into Jerkass behavior around Clive/Jessica and even then its justified somewhat given the creepiness that is Clive. When the opposite happens near the climax, he only reacts hurt and runs back to Bianca. When everything is back to normal he is there for Jessica.

* OperationJealousy: Jessica (in Clive's body) and April went to the prom as couple to make April's jock jerk boyfriend jealous, after he lied about not going and went with someone else. But for April, that's not the only reason...

''The Hot Chick'' is a 2002 comedy-fantasy film starring Rob Schneider and Creator/RachelMcAdams.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: The advertisements focus more on Rob Schneider and less on Rachel [=McAdams=].

* 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 (in various ways) being in a sexy young woman's body--and MUCH less of [[{{Squick}} the reverse....]]

* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Subverted. After the main character, a ditzy AlphaBitch teenager, suddenly [[FreakyFridayFlip switches bodies with a local crook]], she immediately suspects the local goth chick to be responsible. She's not, though she does admit that she tried to curse her with smaller boobs.

* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Subverted. After the main character, an AlphaBitch teenager, is turned into a guy, she immediately suspects the local goth chick to be responsible. She's not, though she does admit that she tried to curse her with smaller boobs.

* FailOSuckyname: Booger, Jessica's little brother. What's worse that it's implied that it's his true name since even his parents call him that.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Seriously, [[FailOSuckyname Booger]]? Even his parents call him as such and there's no indication that it's a nickname.

* MythologyGag: "That's a HUGE bitch!"

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

** Marlon may be another example since he didn't do anything too malevolent and is very open about how much he loves Hildenburg.

* 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.

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

* LovableJock: Billy, contrasted to [[JerkJock Jake]]. Why the former still hangs out with the latter is anyone's guess. He does descend into Jerkass behavior around Clive/Jessica and even then its justified somewhat given the creepiness that is Clive. When the opposite happens near the climax, he only reacts hurt and runs back to Bianca and when everything is back to normal he is there for Jessica.

* DumbBlonde: April (kinda)

* MalignedMixedMarriage: Keecia's mom is Korean (and a black wannabe) and her dad is black [[spoiler:and Jewish.]]

* AccidentalMisnaming: Clive (in Jessica's body) refers to Billy as "Bobby."
-->'''Billy:''' It's Billy!
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Ling Ling sees her mother as this due to her [[PrettyFlyforaWhiteGuy Pretty Fly for a Middle Aged Korean Woman]] attitude and heavy accent. Her friends don't agree with this assessment.

* BiTheWay: One of the customers at the strip club.
* BlatantLies: The guy who Clive (in Jessica's body) beats up lied in the news that he was trying to help her. And the guy who's recording the whole thing claims he just happens to be on the scene.

* ChubbyChaser: Marlon's got a major thing for Hildenburg.

* GroinAttack: Near the end of the movie, Jessica (Clive) is currently working at a strip club and when Jake asks for her to come over to him so that he can enjoy himself towards her, Jessica walks over to him and stomps on his groin while using it as a stepping stone so that she can get up upon the dancing table platform.

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

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: The owner of the strip club saying two rules: No strangling the dancers and Monday night is gay night.

* RunningGag: Adam Sandler's character keep banging the bongo.

* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: Not only does the token black jock like Hindenburg because she's white, [[ChubbyChaser but also because she's]] ''[[ChubbyChaser big]]''. Jake is disgusted with his taste.

* MsFanservice: As 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 (in various ways) being in a sexy young woman's body--and MUCH less of [[{{Squick}} the reverse....]]

->''"About half an hour into the screening the film got trapped in the projector and it caught fire; that was the good news! The bad news was the screening continued, and hardly any of the film was destroyed."''
-->-- '''Creator/RogerEbert'''

->''"Well, I will say this for the film, um, it's in color, and, uh, it was mostly in focus, and, I, I really can't say any more for it beyond that.''"
-->-- '''Creator/RichardRoeper'''

By the way, this film made the RogerEbertMostHatedFilmList

* BillingDisplacement: RachelMcAdams, after the first ten minutes, has almost no screentime until the climax. However, most subsequent releases and home videos give her second or third billing (due in no small part to her breakout role in ''Film/MeanGirls''), while the movie proper credits her as "introducing" following most of the main cast.
