Summary: Nate Cooper has been smitten with Cristabel Abbot since he first laid eyes on her at the impressionable age of six.

In the intervening years there have been other women in Nate's life, but none who could measure up toNate Cooper has been smitten with Cristabel Abbot since he first laid eyes on her at the impressionable age of six. But before he could try and snuggle up to her at nap time, or maybe send her a valentine, his family moved away. In the intervening years there have been other women in Nate's life, but none who could measure up to Cristabel. Convinced she's the only girl for him, Nate decides to move back to L.A. and track her down. The good news: she's still single and stunning. The bad news: there's a reason she's still single. Cristabel's still best friends with the same ugly little girl Nate remembers from first grade, June Phigg. The two are inseparable. They live together. They go to yoga together. They would even go on double dates together...if only June could get a date. And Cristabel simply refuses to leave dear June home alone. Determined to spend as much time as possible with Cristabel, Nate sets out to find a boyfriend for June. But even when he pays them, guys all flee at the sight of her. And then it hits him: June needs a makeover. But as Nate and June become friends and she emerges from her cocoon, Nate slowly realizes that the girl of his dreams isn't the hottie at all. It's the nottie -- who turns out to be something of a hottie herself. (Regent Releasing)… Expand

Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

The Farrelly brothers could burp out a movie funnier than The Hottie & the Nottie, a farce of corrupt stereotypes that's never more grotesque than when it pretends to be more than skin-deep. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Ultimately best suited for the confines of late-night cable. Read full review

Kyle Smith

Great actors make the craft look easy. In the Paris Hilton comedy The Hottie and the Nottie, acting looks very, very difficult. Read full review

James Berardinelli

A cinematic excursion so horrific that it's an insult to bad movies to call it a bad movie. Read full review

Connie Ogle

The most astounding thing about this abysmal comedy -- aside from the fact the studio actually allowed critics within a mile of it -- is that it's so ghastly it is beneath even the meager dignity of Paris Hilton. Read full review

Keith Phipps

How is Paris Hilton in her first starring role to receive a national release? Pretty bad, actually. She's limited to a single, all-too-familiar expression of smug self-satisfaction, and she delivers her lines in a tone somewhere between "seductive" and "dish-soap commercial." Read full review

Nathan Lee

Crass, shrill, disingenuous, tawdry, mean-spirited, vulgar, idiotic, boring, slapdash, half-assed, and very, very unfunny. Read full review

A cinematic masterpiece. This easily trumps mediocre works such as Schindlers List and The Godfather. This deserves every oscar, grammy and Tony award on how stellar it is. Paris Hilton emerges as the greatest actress since Madonna. I dont get all the bad reviews.

Argh, Paris Hilton just irritates me. The only reason she done the film was probably to make her the centre of attention. The story line is actually quite dencent however Hilton does not give a great performance and therefore i rated the film 2 because its good but i just really don't Argh, Paris Hilton just irritates me.

It's one thing for Paris Hilton to try to pretend she's not shallow, and confirm she is very very shallow in the process. It's totally another for the entire movie industry to indulge every single one of her ego trips. Does anybody think Paris Hilton is even attractive?

In a just world her parents would cut her out of the will, and she would have to live out the song 'Like a Rolling Stone' firsthand.… Expand

Yes, it is terrible. It is undoubtedly almost, if not literally, vomit-inducing. But then, it is also true that she is a star because the American culture is obsessed with celebrity and celebrity-worshipping, and the tendancy is also, unfortunately, to equate celebrity with talent.... (look Yes, it is terrible. It is undoubtedly almost, if not literally, vomit-inducing. But then, it is also true that she is a star because the American culture is obsessed with celebrity and celebrity-worshipping, and the tendancy is also, unfortunately, to equate celebrity with talent.... (look at the popularity of reality tv covering metaphorical train-wrecks with unabashed glee) ...thus her being in this film and its existence is, in fact, YOUR fault. You all said, "we like stupid. We'll pay for stupid. It represents us, our hopes, our aspirations, our level of self-respect." You quite clearly have a 'high-fibre' entertainment diet that sees you rarely test yourself or aspire to create 'art' in any authentic sense consistently. Bums on seats is the only ethos. Especially to blame is the gullibility of young girls, their parents and equally of course the media that happily dupe them all for cash. Cos at the end of the day that's all this is about.... that's why I imagine she is probably a producer on the film itself or something similar. That's all it is ever about - and the quality reflects this. The people who actually saw it and complain about it - YOU are to blame. You are financing the sequel: The Whore and the Snore with your own money. A large gathering of retarded primates is furiously at work on the type-writers as we speak, assembling this masterpiece in earnest. But the funniest aspect is the criticism itself.... so born out of the dumbed-down culture that Paris and her ilk have inspired..... that, well, none of you can use the english language properly either. Every remark is quick to shoot from the hip but equally to use words that are completely out of context. It's too late to lauch an attack on Paris - she already won. With every word against her I can't help but think that you're all right.... she is a complete dick. And you're the dicks who have the same problems with your own language (the tool by which we articulate our very being to others and therefore the most powerful tool we have at our disposal), the same poor taste, but less money. I guess that makes the hating amount to jealousy. Cos she's the same....... but better. Tragic really.… Expand

Paris should learn from her grandfather how to achieve success without making herself looks cheap.
