THE HOT CHICK at HOLLYWOOD TEEN MOVIES

The Hot Chick, as the title might suggest, is about just that. Her name is Jessica Spencer and she’s the most popular girl in her school where she’s the captain of the cheerleaders. Her boyfriend - as befitting this Miss Perfect - is a quarterback hunk. Jessica Spencer is played by thirty-something Rob Schneider.

We’ll rewind a little. This bizarre circumstance comes about one morning when Jessica (who is actually played by Rachel McAdams) wakes up, looks in the mirror and discovers that she is suddenly in the unmistakably male body mentioned above. She’s still Jessica inside, but on the outside she’s pure Schneider.

Jessica gets a lesson in humility when she finds out that winning back everything she wants - like her boyfriend - does not come as easily when the packaging is so different.
