Synopsis
Amazon.com Review
"I'm an expert in parties and boys. I'm a Bunny! Men write to me from prison--sometimes in their own blood!" So declares ex-Playboy Bunny Shelley, tossed out of the Mansion by a rival for her advanced age (27--"59 in bunny years," she's told). As played by the utterly fearless and appealing Anna Faris, Shelley becomes an unlikely post-feminist heroine, who finds a great use for her not-too-considerable expertise: being sexy. With nowhere else to live, Shelley finds herself as the house mother for a dying sorority, the Zetas, who are the audience for the rallying cry above. And the slightly misfit sisters, though wary, end up giving Shelley a sisterhood she could never have built back at the Grotto. To help build up the sorority, Shelley gives the young women her own peculiar tutorials in charm school--helping them raise their campus profile and recruit new pledges in the process. "When I'm done, every girl on campus will want to pledge Zeta!" Ignore her at your peril, girls. If the formula is a bit predictable, the pace is lively and the cast, headed by the wide-eyed Faris, is aces. American Idol contestant Katharine McPhee is a natural on camera, as is Rumer Willis, daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. The supporting cast includes the capable Colin Hanks and Beverly D'Angelo, and a bit too much screen time for the real-life Hugh Hefner, who maybe should have stayed on the set of The Girls Next Door. Still, Faris channels the cheerful, girly determination of Reese Witherspoon's Elle Woods--no surprise since The House Bunny was cowritten by Kirsten Smith, who wrote Legally Blonde. Fans of silly romances, hop to it.--A.T. Hurley
Customer Reviews
And the award for least original plot goes to..... House Bunny
What more can I say that my title? Well, this is a movie with a script taken from countless teen movies for boys. Girls' sorority house full of 'ugly' nerds is being put down a beautiful house. Nerdy house strikes back and becomes the best... with mismatch romances, clichés and slapstick comedy this is nothing if unoriginal. Saying that it is still amusing and I suppose writing it from a female point of view and replacing the wanna be sports jock with wanna be playboy model is a little different (just not a lot!). I also couldn't see the audience this was aiming at. Thought it was condescending to women and not sexy enough for the male watchers....
One of the funniest films of the year...
I went to see this film when I missed the screening of another film at the local cinema. I was so glad I saw this instead. I assumed it would be another rubbish American chick-flick, but I was wrong!
Yeah it is a bit of a chickflick but there are loads of guys I know that loved this movie too.
It's really cleverly written and there is so much humour involved.
I totally enjoyed this film and I can't wait 'til it's released on DVD.
painful to watch!
What a waste of 90 minutes. I was hoping for something along the lines of legally blonde, fluffy and simple but generally positive and uplifting. This was painful and embarrassing to watch, and quite depressing because I really felt that the lead character had completely wasted her life.Just glad I got it as a freebie and didn't waste any money on it! It's gone straight in the bin!
