Plots(1)
Shelley (Anna Faris) is living a carefree life until a rival gets her tossed out of the Playboy Mansion. With nowhere to go, fate delivers her to the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. Unless they can sign a new pledge class, the seven socially clueless women will lose their house to the scheming girls of Phi Iota Mu. In order to accomplish their goal, they need Shelley to teach them the ways of makeup and men; at the same time, Shelley needs some of what the Zetas have - a sense of individuality. The combination leads all the girls to learn how to stop pretending and start being themselves. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Movies from Sandler's Happy Madison Production are known for their various moral messages, which lower the already weak quality of each film. This case was no exception. The script was particularly weak, so not even Colin Hanks and Emma Stone, actors I actually like, could save the situation. Maybe I'd be more generous in my rating if I were a fan of Playboy, but I've always been in Bob Guccione's camp, so I was more of a Penthouse guy. But I don't want to be a complete grump and killjoy, so I have to appreciate that the film taught me to notice the clink when someone drops a dollar, and how to not overstuff myself with Mahi Mahi when I can make do with just Mahi. / Lesson learned: Cats have sharp claws.

Cliche, cliche, cliche, a good joke here and there. I don’t think I wasted an hour and a half of my life with The House Bunny mostly thanks to Emma Stone and Kat Dennings, who truly rule the film. Anna Faris is not bad either, but for my taste she tries too hard, and she can but look up to the Legally Blonde Reese Witherspoon (from the same screenwriters).
