What happens

The Hot Chick is a 2002 American fantasy comedy film directed by Tom Brady, written by Brady and Rob Schneider, and starring Schneider, Rachel McAdams, Anna Faris, Matthew Lawrence, Eric Christian Olsen, Robert Davi and Michael O'Keefe. The film follows Jessica Spencer, a mean-spirited cheerleader who switches bodies with incompetent criminal Clive Maxtone. When Jessica discovers that the switch was caused by a pair of enchanted earrings she had stolen, she enlists the help of her friends to get the earrings back together before the switch becomes permanent. Adam Sandler served as executive producer and made an uncredited cameo appearance as the Mambuza Bongo Player, a character based on one played by Schneider on Saturday Night Live. Principal photography began in March 2002 in Los Angeles and concluded in May. The Hot Chick was theatrically released in the United States by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution on December 13, 2002, and grossed $54.6 million against a $34 million budget. It received generally negative reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
