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 is excruciatingly, painfully, horribly, terribly awful.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
It looks like it was shot on middle school AV club equipment, and the jokes, aiming for gross-out value, are merely sad.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
[The film] regularly grinds to a halt just so Putnam can capture Hilton running, sunning or simply posing -- usually in slow motion.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
Imagine the worst movie you've ever seen. Got it? Now try to think of something worse. That something is this movie -- wretched, embarrassing and a waste of the time and energy of everyone involved.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
