MPAA RATING: PG-13 for crude and sexual content
Starring Paris Hilton, Joel Moore, Christine Lakin, and Adam Kulbersh
Nate 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)

What amazes me the most here is that a studio was willing to part with money to finance this truly distasteful movie. Does anyone really believe that PAris Hilton can act now after both House of Wax and this?
Nikko C. gave it a0:
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.

To all of you you actually SAW the movie, I give you all Zeroes. Come on, what did you expect? Of course it will be awful, lame and generally gag-induced bad acting. And I don't have to watch the movie to know this.
DJ D. gave it a0:
Words cannot even describe this torture.
Chuck N gave it a0:
I'd rather perform an abortion then be subjected to anything Paris is involved in again. My wife has agreed to movie picking probation after making me sit through this movie/thing. The only amusing aspect of seeing this on the big screen was how many people walked out before the end of the film. If you are considering watching this film spray mace in your face for 1 hour and 45 minutes instead. You will enjoy your mace treatment far more.

I subjected myself to Paris Hilton's "acting" in House of Wax for obvious reasons. But seeing this movie, I think, would burn holes in my soul. Thanks, Paris, for never doing anything worthwhile with your undeserved celebrity.
Sanghee J gave it a0:
Oh, gosh. I saw this movie to review it for my college newspaper and couldn't have been more...SHOCKED at how awful it was. I already knew that it was going be be bad based on pretense. But Paris Hilton needs to stop trying to be what she's not...shallow and talented. If Paris Hilton were a puddle, you could very easily and safely teach an infant to swim. The movie was insipid, boring and not even remotely entertaining to watch. I spent more of my time staring at the floor than I did at the screen just to preserve what's left of my vision and sanity. It was a waste of my free movie ticket, time and later ink from my printer. I feel bad for the technical crew that had to actually work through the filming of this. paris Hilton needs to get out of the limelight and stop being a celebrity and just contend herself with being spoiled and rich.
