Plot

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. This article needs cleanup. ... Marriage à-la-mode by William Hogarth: a satire on arranged marriages and prediction of ensuing disaster The purpose of an arranged marriage is to form a new family unit by marriage while respecting the chastity of all people involved. ...

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. New Age describes a broad movement characterized by alternative approaches to traditional Western culture. ...

Meanwhile, in another part of town, Clive, a career criminal, is robbing a gas station. The only things he can manage to steal there are nachos with cheese and drinks. Jessica and her friends pull over as Clive is leaving the place, and confuse him with a service-station employee. They ask him to check their car, and Clive obeys so as not to raise suspicion. After the girls drive away, Clive finds one of Jessica's new earrings on the ground after Jessica accidentally drops it. He picks up, thinking it might be of monetary value.

Later, Jessica and Clive try on their respective earrings at the same time, triggering a chain of life-changing events. Jessica wakes up to find herself trapped in Clive's body, and Clive finds himself in Jessica's. To complicate things further, Jessica has a cheerleading event coming up soon, as well as her school's prom. A body swap is a storytelling device seen in a variety of fiction, most often in TV shows and movies, in which two people (or beings) exchange minds and end up in each others bodies. ...

Jessica goes to school in Clive's body, triggering many comical situations. She gets a job as a school janitor and is able to convince her friends that she really is Jessica in a man's body, but has trouble convincing anyone else. As the school janitor, she finds out that April's boyfriend is only looking for sex, but that her own boyfriend, Billy, really loves her. She also finds out how hard it can be to navigate so-called "manly" situations such as using a men's restroom. It has been suggested that Duration of sexual intercourse be merged into this article or section. ...

Clive, wearing Jessica's body, finds himself in similar "fish out of water" predicaments. Finding himself as the object of attraction to many men, he takes advantage of the situation, using his newly acquired looks to steal cars from men and to get a well-paying job at a bar as a dancer. However, he also has to deal with feminine issues such as menstruation, as shown in a short cut-scene. Not to be confused with Mensuration. ...

Throughout the whole ordeal, Jessica finds herself face to face with several issues that she had failed to notice in her "perfect life." In searching for the person responsible for the body switch, she makes peace with a girl she publicly humiliated at the pep rally and one of her classmates about whom she had made a snide remark earlier. She also helps mend her parents' relationship by speaking privately with both her father and her mother while posing as the hired gardener "Taquito."

April, meanwhile, finds herself becoming more and more attracted to "Spence," Jessica's male identity. This is due more to a lack of self-confidence than anything else; as a man, Jessica has shown more genuine care and affection for April than any of her previous romantic interests. At the prom, Jessica tells April that all she needs to be beautiful and happy is herself, and nothing else.

In their desperation, Jessica and her friends return to the store where they got the earrings, and find out that the earrings were cursed. They are also told that unless the earrings are reunited before the end of the full-moon cycle, the bodies of both parties are permanently switched. The princess, it is revealed, was not aware of this and spent the rest of her life as a slave.

One of Jessica's friends sees Clive, using Jessica's body, in the news when a video of him beating up a man is shown. They start looking for Clive, and find him working at a strip club. The girls try to negotiate with him, but the womanly Clive does not want his new, lucrative body to go back to its original owner. Jessica takes back her rightful body by stealing the one earring that Clive wears and putting it on. As a result, they trade bodies back as Clive gives a pole dance to a client — April's ex-boyfriend.

Outside the club, Jessica makes up with Billy and the scene cuts to graduation. The movie ends with Clive, still dressed in lingerie, hitches a ride from a stranger. The man smiles suggestively at Clive, who screams in horror.
