cricketbat The House Bunny used a tired, old plot line and. . .didn't do much else with it - it's the same old plot line. Even Anna Faris couldn't save the annoyingly over-the-top characters and the misled attempt at trying to have a message/moral. I am disappointed - this was even dumber than I expected.

jaywensley2004 "The House Bunny" owes a lot to several movies of the "naive wins out" type. The best of these is "Being There," the least is "Dumb and Dumber." The main character is guileless and often childlike, but not stupid. Anna Faris as "The House Bunny" portrays my favorite variation on this theme...the trusting romantic who lives simply but understands complicated. And she does so very, very well.Faris is a natural in this type of role, her particular form of charisma is of the wide-eyed woman/child. If you've ever seen a Marion Davies' movie, you've seen the origin of this character. Alyson Hannigan did a brilliant turn on this role as Michelle Flaherty in "American Pie". And Anna Faris' Shelly Darlingson is another great interpretation of the type. Shelly is all about rainbows and unicorns, but she understands thunderstorms and glue factories, and Faris makes the existence and success of Shelly believable. That said, the main plot of "The House Bunny" is outrageously unbelievable. But its "that kind" of comedy, hyperbolic and over-the-top. I would never recommend this movie for its depth of story, but Faris' performance, with the bonus of early Emma Stone, makes "The House Bunny" a movie that delivers smiles and cheers.

lisafordeay Anna Faris whom people may remember her from as Ryan Reynolds Britney Spears cloned girlfriend,plays Shelley in this cute teen comedy. Shelley is a former playboy bunny who's just celebrated her 27th birthday. But when Shelley receives a letter from the boss of the playboy mansion(yes folks Hugh Heffner is IN this MOVIE!!)it states that she is too old for playboy and must leave the premise. With nowhere else to go only her old car that's a banger she of course stumbles across a sorority campus. The first campus doesn't want to hear of her while the other place which has Emma Stone,Rumur Willis,Kat Jennings and former winner of American Idol Katherine McPhee in it she of course decides to be their sorority mother.Like in a lot of teen comedies nowadays the girls that Shelley stays with are pretty average geeky chicks and with the help of some make up and hair extensions they turn into real life Barbie dolls(actually one part reminded me of that 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan getting a makeover)and try and do a campaign to stop their sorority house from being taken from them by their other sorority campus ruled by some bitchy chick who wants to sabotage their house the Zeta.Overall this film whose producer is YUP you guessed it Adam Sandler along with his buddy from The Wedding Singer Allen Covert who also produced Hotel Transylvania,this flick is really all not that bad and I think this is Emma Stone's debut movie as I never heard her do any movies in 2004 or 05 or 06. I give this movie a 5.Also starring in this movie is Tom Hanks son Colin Hanks who plays Shelley's love interest.

tbills2 The House Bunny should pleasantly surprise you. It saves itself from being mediocrity with an invigorating sense of humor. Not relying on too many strict movie-picture components, it cares mostly about having a little fun. It's a cultural splash, widely agreed upon as being pleasing. The House Bunny has very vibrant visuals. What I am saying is that The House Bunny is good and funny, and Anna Faris is hot, hot in it. The scantily clad Faris is pretty good at playing a ditsy, flirty Playboy bunny. Anna is so hot and so funny. Emma Stone comes to age in 1 of her first, renowned roles. Emma is clearly cute and she's so legitimately funny. Sooo funny. They could not have cast 3 better girls for the friends than Kat Dennings, Katharine McPhee and Rumer Willis, seriously, and I hope to see more of Rumer in the years to come. Colin Hanks is fine for the viewing, but I would have liked a better choice for the part. He's no Tom Hanks, haha, just kidding. Beverly D'Angelo adds her authority to the mix. The House Bunny has a couple of strong moments I love. When the girls get their makeover and you first see them walking through campus, I think my jaw dropped to the floor, and at the end of the Aztec party when they're all dancing to "Shut Up and Let Me Go", whoa. The songs in those 2 scenes are critical to them being so good. Also, at the very beginning of the Aztec party when Anna Faris is up on the balcony shake, shaking it, she reminds me of Gandalf from LOTR:ROTK when the White Wizard stands high up upon the White City's terrace with Pippin as they survey the Dark Lord's massive army. No kidding! I really liked The House Bunny and it's easily rewatchable. It's appropriate for teenage girls as long as you can forgive some sexiness steered towards the boys.
