Movie review

From Time Out London

A stark yet comforting reminder that cold, hard cash is no substitute for cold, hard talent. ‘The Hottie and the Nottie’ is an execrable Z-grade eugenics parable moonlighting as a sexy, disposable date movie. It stars socialite and non-actor Paris Hilton as a supple, semi-clad college grad who won’t go the distance unless her scabby, buck-toothed friend (Christine Lakin) can also get a date. This is bad news for beanpole sex pest, Nate Cooper (Joel Moore) who spends his days toadying over a well-thumbed snap of a six-year-old Paris, taken when they were at school together.

Lowering the misogyny bar to a level that would have had Betty Friedan choking on her carrot cake, this two-bit wank fantasy plays body fascism for laughs with a script that mistakes egregious tomcat jock-talk for engaging dialogue. In the end, not only do you find yourself rallying against Nate, but hoping that he is publicly neutered then killed before the credits roll. So, so bad.

Posted on Nov 12 2009 23:11 This film just goes to show how high an opinion the deeply ugly (in all ways) Paris Hilton has of herself. I hope the poor reception this film has got proves to Ms Hilton how unpopular she is so that we are not forced to have her ugly mug on our TV and movie screens any more in this country. Piss off Hilton - and before you think I'm a jealous woman, I don't know of any man who finds you in any way attractive either!!!!! hahahahah!!!

Posted on Mar 31 2008 20:46 Fantastic review. Never mind Joel Moore's character, anyone who willingly goes to see this film should be publicly neutered. And no, I haven't seen it. I'd rather have hot needles stuck under my fingernails.
