The Hottie and the Nottie is a romantic comedy from 2008 that features Paris Hilton, Joel David Moore, and Christine Lakin. The movie follows the story of Nate Cooper (played by Joel David Moore), a young man who has been in love with his childhood friend, Cristabel Abbott (played by Paris Hilton), for years. However, he never dared to tell her about his feelings. When Nate returns to Los Angeles after completing his studies in New York, he finds that Cristabel is still single, and decides to pursue her. However, there is a problem - Cristabel's best friend, June Phigg (played by Christine Lakin), is not considered attractive by most people, and is known for being a "nottie."

June and Cristabel have been friends since childhood, and have a deep bond. Cristabel is also fiercely loyal to her friend, and believes that people should accept June for who she is, regardless of her looks. This means that Cristabel refuses to date anyone who does not accept June as well. Naturally, this presents a problem for Nate, since he initially finds June unattractive and does not want to hang out with her. However, he soon realizes that he needs to win over June's heart in order to be with Cristabel. Thus, he sets out on a mission to make June feel special, and show Cristabel that he is a good person who cares about others.

Throughout the movie, Nate goes through various hurdles and challenges as he tries to win over June's heart. He tries to impress her with his cooking skills, takes her on a date to a club, and even helps her deal with her annoying boss. Meanwhile, Cristabel is unaware of Nate's true intentions, and thinks that he is just being a good friend to June. She is also dealing with her own insecurities, and worries that she is not good enough for anyone to love her.

As the movie progresses, Nate and June start to develop a connection, and Nate realizes that he actually likes spending time with her. He starts to see beyond her looks, and appreciates her for the kind and caring person that she is. However, their budding romance is threatened by a sleazy businessman named Johann (played by Adam Kulbersh), who tries to lure June with promises of fame and fortune. Nate must once again step in and save the day, in order to protect the woman he has come to care about.

The Hottie and the Nottie is a sweet and lighthearted movie that delivers a message about the importance of inner beauty. Although the plot may seem predictable and cliché at times, the strong performances by the cast help to elevate the material. Paris Hilton shines in her role as Cristabel, displaying a surprising amount of depth and vulnerability. Joel David Moore is charming and likable as Nate, and Christine Lakin brings a lot of heart to her portrayal of June. The movie also features some quirky and humorous side characters, such as Cristabel's eccentric neighbor who constantly wears a wig.

Overall, The Hottie and the Nottie is a fun and entertaining movie that is perfect for a lazy afternoon or a girls' night in. Despite its flaws, it manages to convey a positive message about self-acceptance, friendship, and love. It proves that sometimes, the person you least expect can turn out to be the one who steals your heart.

The Hottie and the Nottie is a 2008 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 31 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 2.0 and a MetaScore of 7.
