Triva & Fracts
• Rachel came to the US to audition for a Nancy McDrew series, but she didn’t land the role but instead was cast for “The Hot Chick“.
• They had a three month search for the perfect Jessica, and according to the director only Rachel (who was one of the last to audition) could pull off both Jessica and Jessica as Clive.
• All the ‘hot chicks’ had rehearsals for the cheer leading scenes in the movie. The opening cheer leading part is actually more extended but they had to cutt off a few minutes.
• In the first version of “The Hot Chick” more scenes of Jessica as Clive were added, but due to screening time some of them were dropped. They ended up on the DVD as extras.

Character Quotes
Jessica: You’re the only boy who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Quotes from Rachel
“I was told if I wasn’t good in this movie, it would be screwed, That’s how I started the movie. At first I put way too much pressure on myself and realized that it wasn’t getting me anywhere. I was just a ball of stress and eventually, the character kicked in where she’s sort of free-spirited, doesn’t care what people think and chases down those things she wants. I think I had to get to that point where my survival instincts kicked in and so I just decided: OK, let’s take a ride.”
-On the pressure of making this movie (Dark Horizon)
“My first film [The Hot Chick] in the U.S. and a huge milestone in my life. We [Megan Kuhlmann & Rachel] would take the shuttle bus to Macy’s to hang out at the makeup counter and eat at Islands. We’d sit in the hot tub at night and talk about our day.”
-On her experience of making The Hot Chick (Vogue)
“I watched all of Rob Schneider’s movies, and I knew his mannerisms. I didn’t think they would cast me, but I liked acting like a guy. It was strangely liberating. I think it may have been harder for Rob to become female.”

Quotes from Cast & Crew
“Rachel McAdams is so amazing… she’s in The Hot Chick, and she’s great in that.”
-Rob Schneider, co-star (IGN)
“We did an exhaustive continent 3 months search for this [Rachel McAdams] actress and I think we found her. She happened to be in town auditioning for another part and we were holding our breath, wishing that she didn’t get the other part, wising against her success so we could have her all to ourselves. And she did great! We wanted to find someone who is stunning and a good actress, but also someone who can play a guy convincingly and she is the only one who really, really nailed it.”
-Tom Brady, director (DVD audio commentary)
“Rachel McAdams did a great Rob! She’s pitch perfect in every scene.”
-Tom Brady, director (DVD audio commentary)
“We found Rachel McAdams, this amazing actress we was not only able to give us all the charm of a high school cheerleader but also plays a great Clive. This petty criminal in this beautiful young body and how he exploits that.”
-Tom Brady, director (DVD extra)
Critical Reception
“But she’s so much funnier than anything or anyone else around her that there’s a temptation to ponder the possibilities if the picture had aimed higher than just being another half-assed vehicle for a one-note “Saturday Night Live” alum.”
-Rob Blackwelder (Spliced Wire)
“If it weren’t for Faris, McAdams and the other supporting cast members, “The Hot Chick” would be utterly forgettable. However the young stars of this movie work past the material and give a real shot of adrenaline to a mediocre script.”
-Rebecca Murray (About)
“Rachel McAdams, who has ever since proved herself as not only a beautiful woman but a very good performer (ie. The Notebook, Mean Girls and Red Eye, all of which she is fantastic in), McAdams is completely wonderful in her portrayal of an older man inside a “hot chick”.”
-CumberBitch (Cinema Roll)
