The Hot Chick

The Hot Chick is a 2002 comedy film starring Rob Schneider as the title character — a criminal who mysteriously switches bodies with a popular teenager. The bulk of the film revolves around "Jessica" and her friends figuring out how to get Jessica's body back, as well as dealing with the awkward social situations that arise as a result of two completely different strangers switching bodies.The movie was directed by Tom Brady, and produced by Adam Sandler, who also had a small role based on a SNL sketch playing the "Mambooza Bongo Player." Sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry, and singers Ashlee Simpson and Michelle Branch also had small roles. It was filmed, in part, at El Segundo High School.The Hot Chick starts with a scene set in ancient Abyssinia. A princess, disgusted by the groom of her arranged marriage, switches bodies with a slave girl by means of an enchanted set of earrings. This scene segues into a pep rally in which the eponymous "hot chick," Jessica Spencer, is shown leading the school's cheer squad.Although she is not shown to be a mean-spirited person, Jessica tends to take her life for granted and frequently neglects the feelings of those around her.Later, Jessica, her best friend April, and a few other girls visit the mall to hang out and do some shopping. They enter a new age store, where they check out a few items they like, including a pair of ancient earrings, which, unbeknownst to Jessica, are the same magical ones featured at the beginning of the movie. Since the earrings are not for sale, Jessica steals them.
