The Hottie And The Nottie: Review

The Hottie and the Nottie , Christine Lakin, Paris Hilton

Tom Putnam and Heidi Ferrer's gross-out romantic comedy, a vehicle for the persona of vapid celebutante Paris Hilton, is preposterous, disingenuous, remarkably unfunny and genuinely distasteful. Unemployed, commitment-phobic slacker Nate Cooper (Joel David Moore) has just been dumped by his girlfriend Jane (Kathryn Fiore), who's had enough of his self-pitying ballads, lack of ambition and utter unwillingness to grow up. Plunged into an even deeper funk than usual, Nate de... read more

The Hottie And The Nottie: TV Guide News

Episode Recap: "I Won't Die With A Little Help From My Friends" | My Name Is Earl | 4/4/2008
Well, it's been a while, but now that all the poster boards have long been collecting dust, a new episode of Earl has finally been unleashed — and it did not disappoint. After NBC President and CEO Jeff Zucker got the ball rolling with a quick recap and a good-natured joke or two about the writers' strike, we were back in Camden County. Earl and Billie were, of course, right where we left them — unconscious in the street. As Randy commandeers an ambulance in order to rush him to the hospital, Earl dreams of starring in a sitcom since TV has always been a source of solace. This was an excellent way to kick off Earl's return.

Paris Hilton's Hottie Is Definitely a Nottie | A Beautiful Fraud | 2/14/2008
Not that we needed anyone but our own Maitland McDonagh to tell us exactly how bad The Hottie and the Nottie -- cultural time- and attention-waster Paris Hilton's latest attempt to star in something that isn't shot in night-vision -- turned out to be (the divine Ms. M's excoriating exegesis is currently topping the "The Bad Review Revue" list over at the hilarious DefectiveYeti.com). It seems IMDb users have also weighed in with their own carefully considered opinions. According to the folks over at SlashFilm.com, Hottie has unseated the 2004 horror-indie Zombie Nation as the absolutely worst rated movie ever on a site that tracks roughly a bazillion titles. How low is the rating? It's #1 in the bottom 100. Out of ten stars, it's currently sporting a 1.5. That's bad, people. To make matters even worse, BoxOfficeMojo.com is reporting Hottie grossed an embarrassing $27,696 on 111 screens during its opening -- and presumably biggest -- weekend (that breaks down to about $249.51 per... read more
