DescriptionIn the beginning of the movie, a female commoner steals a pair or earrings and gives one to a princess ready to get married. The commoner wears the other one and the two switch bodies by the magic earrings. The switch was used by Princess Nawaa as an opportunity to escape a bad marriage.The rest of the movie is set in 2003 in Bridgetown. This is where the magical earrings from Abysinnia in 50 B.C. eventually end up. The earrings will soon switch Clive, an escaped convict and Jessica, a hot and pretty cheerleader. --- SPOILERS AHEAD --- Soon after Jessica acquires the odd earrings, Clive, played by Rob Schnieder, found the second earring when it dropped out of Jessica's car at a gas station he robbed. Both of them switched bodies during the night, thus making him "The Hot Chick". Jessica Spencer was convinced she had the perfect life. She's the hottest, most popular girl in high school, captain of the cheerleading squad and dating the dreamy quarterback. But she gets a big dose of reality when she wakes up in the body of a 30 year old man (Rob Schneider)! The one thing the Clive the robber does not do when he is "The Hot Chick" in Jessica's body is to meet Jessica's parents. Jessica's parents never learn the full truth about her switching bodies. Jessica tried to convince her girlfirend April that she is not herself anymore. April didn't believe that it was Jessica in a man's body and thought that he was going to harm her so she sprayed him with pepper spray. But, after Jess and April remember how they first became friends as kids, April gets on board and they start searching for a way to make Jessica a 'Hot Chick" again. Clive steals cars, beats up men and steals money from them, and even becomes a stripper at "The Pole Cat Club." Jessica finally catches up to Clive at the club. He refuses to help Jessica put them back to normal, preferring his new life as a sexy, teenaged hot... (well, you should know what he became by now ;) Clive has to be forcibly returned to his body, and Jessica is willing to do anything to make that happen before the change becomes permanent! (Note, since Rob Schneider is the star, most of the story is centered around Jessica in Clive's body, with only minimal glimpses of his time occupying Jessica's body thrown in.) Merged InfoYoung adults' film about a group of college girls; they are very competitive, to the point of being somewhat catty. An ancient charm causes one of them to swap bodies with a male small-time thief. The two are Jessica and Clive Maxtone, played by Rob Schneider and Rachel McAdams. We don't see much of Clive now that he is in Jessica's body, although we see that he exploits it for extracting money from men. Most of the action now follows Jessica in his body, trying to come to terms with surviving, and then getting her own body back. There is a clever sequence in the men's lavatory at a club when Jessica, in his body, is going to urinate. There is an attendant, excellently played by the laid-back Dick Gregory, who eventually explains to Jessica how to urinate standing up. Matt Weinberg plays Jessica's younger brother (called "Booger" apparently, another British - American language pitfall) who tries on Jessica's clothes. While Jessica has apparently disappeared, she is actually working at the house in Clive's body, as a gardener. S/he spots the boy through the bedroom window and glares at him ... body language which results in the boy's recognising that the body swap has taken place. Melora Hardin is Jessica's mother; she makes sexual advances to Clive without knowing that it's really Jessica inside his body. Jessica makes the remark that this is illegal in at least five different ways. LinksGallery
