Cute and fun, but unfortunately doesn't stand out

Ever since I saw the trailer for The House Bunny back in May, I was looking forward to seeing it, this looked like a fun comedy and we all love Anna Faris, this girl is just adorable, and she makes comedies a lot of fun. So I saw The House Bunny yesterday and I did enjoy myself, but we've done this before, the dumb blonde story, not that we can't do it again, I'm just looking for something a little fresh. But Anna Faris holds herself so well with comedies, The House Bunny, she doesn't seem to enjoy herself as much in this role. A lot of the moments where she acts stupid, she looks a little uncomfortable at times, I think that's why this movie didn't stand out as well as other dumb blonde comedies. But it's mindless entertainment, the message, it worries me a little, I'll explain why in a little bit, but I'd say if you're a grown up and you know better, than this is a fun little movie.

Shelley is a hot playboy bunny whose life is just grand, she's a sweetheart, a little on the slow side, but always has good intentions, and when it appears that Hugh Hefner wants her out of the house due to her age of 27, she must pack up her things and take off. She's homeless, but finds a local sorority that needs a house mother and a clue into a social life. She becomes their house mother and teaches them how to attract people, but she learns a little something too when she meets a sweet, smart, and sensitive guy, Oliver. Now things become a success with the sorority, but they become a little too shallow and Oliver wants more than a playboy bunny, he wants a girl to talk too, and to top that off the other sororities are upset to learn that the former losers are now hotties that everyone loves.

My one problem with this movie, even though it is enjoyable, the message isn't appropriate for young girls. I know it's just a movie, I don't want to nit pick, believe me, I know when a movie is harmless, but it's teaching young girls that you have to play yourself down to get a guy and that looks will get you everywhere at any time, also we are rooting for a person who just always has good intentions, why? That's all Shelley is, just a nice person, but she doesn't have many likable qualities. I liked the movie over all, I just think the script needed more work, nothing about this movie stood out, it's a disappointment to me. I would recommend it for silly fun, but otherwise, just wait for the rental.

6/10

Hilariously Stupid but Sometimes just Stupid

Shelley (Anna Faris) is a sweet clueless Bunny living in the Playboy Mansion. All she ever wants is to be a centerfold. However, she's kicked out of the mansion after turning 27. She takes a job as the house mom for a sorority of misfits. In order to stay open, the sorority needs more pledges.

Anna Faris is hilariously stupid. Her exorcist low voice is crazy. Colin Hanks doesn't have enough to do other than look stunned. He's a stiff. As for the sorority, Emma Stone looks adorable as the geeky leader. They've uglied up Kat Dennings, and put Rumer Willis in a brace. Katharine McPhee is pregnant. Basically, they put a bunch of beautiful girls and given each one a weird thing to have. Then there's the questionable message that stumbles from time and time. In the 'Revenge of the Nerds', the nerds use their special skills to win. In this one, the girls need to pretty up to win. It's basically a makeover movie which isn't that funny. Luckily Shelley's unconventional makeover is much funnier and the girls learn a lesson about being themselves.

The House Bunny

I heard about this film because of the leading actress, and the title made it obvious that it was something to do with Playboy, but it is not something seedy or full of gross jokes, a typical fish out water style story, and one I looked forward to trying. Basically Shelley Darlingson (Scary Movie's Anna Faris) is a bunny girl working at the Plaboy mansion, and she celebrates her twenty seventh birthday, but is shocked to be told in a note from Hugh 'Hef' Hefner that she will have to leave, being too old (in bunny years). With nowhere to go she packs her things and looks around to start a new life, and following some pretty girls who remind her of herself, and she finds herself in a luxury sorority house. The girls living there being completely stuck up, and Shelley not being a student, she is rejected, but she finds the other sorority house, Zeta Alpha Zeta, which is less luxurious and full of girls that are all socially awkward. They at first reject her too, but bespectacled virgin Natalie (Zombieland's Emma Stone) makes the other girls change their minds, and soon enough they realise their new house mother's pulling power. As time passes Shelley helps the girls gain more self confidence, including with their image change, and they certainly get more attention from boys, and Shelley herself meets retirement home worker Oliver (Colin Hanks, Tom's son),and ironically, she needs flirting tips. There is a point when she is becoming more popular than the sorority house and other girls, and they blame her for this, and at the same time Hef is calling her from the Playboy mansion offering her a photo shoot, he never wanted her to leave, the note was faked by another bunny. Shelley realises she can't see herself going back to her old life, and she cares too much for the girls, who are in danger of losing the sorority house, due to lack of pledges, more are interested in the rival Phi Iota Mus. Dean Simmons (Christopher McDonald) is about to take away the house, but the house bunny comes back and gives a stirring speech about what she has learnt about love and acceptance, and girls start raising their hands to pledge. In the end, with the thirtieth pledge they needed coming from the friend of mean Ashley (Sarah Wright),they keep the house, and Shelley, who does find happiness with Oliver as well, stays with them, keeping in contact with Playboy. Also starring Kat Dennings as Mona, Beverly D'Angelo as Mrs. Hagstrom, Katharine McPhee as Harmony, Kiely Williams as Lilly, Rumer Willis as Joanne, Dana Goodman as Carrie Mae, Kimberly Makkouk as Tanya, Tyson Ritter as Colby and Shaquille 'Shaq' O'Neal. Faris, who rose to fame film by film, plays the dumb blonde to the hilt, but is not too annoying and is a lovable character, and the supporting cast of ugly ducklings turned prettier are alright too, as well as the other stars. It is a story you may think, with a Playboy storyline, it would contain softcore pornography and lots of nudity, or it would be trying to make you laugh with sick and stupid gags, but it is a bit more grown up than that, I will confess the script is a bit simple and predictable at times, but it is a nice and funny story all the same, a fun comedy. Worth watching!
