Review: The House Bunny

When Shelley (Anna Faris), a playmate, gets kicked out of the Playboy mansion after her 27 birthday she becomes homeless and is forced to live in her car. That is, until she follows three college girls to a sorority house where she decides to become a housemother. House Bunny is a humorous and cleverly developed film.

Shelley ends up in the college’s most unpopular sorority house. The girls in the house aren’t exactly “pretty” so with help from Shelley they go from drab to fab.

In the end the girls learn their lesson and discover looks aren’t everything.

Faris did a great job playing the dumb playmate role and really outdid herself. It was enjoyable to watch her try to make herself smarter for the guy she wanted, after she helped her sorority girls become not so smart when it came to their guys.

Shelley’s love interest is played by Collin Hanks who meets her while trying to recruit volunteers for his retirement home. Although, unlike Shelley’s usual men at the Playboy mansion, he is not easily won over by her tricks.

Katherine McPhee, Rumor Willis, Emma Stone, and the rest of the cast had great chemistry as “sisters” of the house. You could easily tell they had a lot of fun wit their roles.

Although it may be a completely predictable movie it is still great fun to watch.

If you’re looking for something serious I don’t recommend it, but if you are just looking for a good time at the movies this is for you.

Overall this movie is a great laugh and a well-made teen comedy. If you like the first Legally Blonde you will enjoy this movie.
