    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This dvd is superb. This romantic comedy stars Anna Faris, Colin Hanks, Emma Stone, Katharine McPhee, Rumer Willis, Dana Goodman, Kiely Williams, Tyson Ritter, and Kat Dennings.

    The Film is very similar to the fabulous film - Legally Blonde. In fact it has the same director - Fred Wolf in charge, and the films executive producers are Anna Faris herself and the very funny Adam Sandler.

    The film is about a 27 year old Playboy bunny, called Shelly Darlington (played by Anna Faris), who is kicked out of the Playboy mansion because she is considered to be to old.

    Subsequently, she stumbles upon the Greek Row campus of a university, and becomes the house leader of a sorority group called Zeta Alpha Zeta.

    The members of the sorority sisters - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house.

    These sorority sisters are characterised as social outcasts, something the former bunny plans to fix.

    The movie also features songs by artists such as Rihanna, Ashlee Simpson, Metro Station, The Cab, Ingrid Michaelson, Phantom Planet and Avril Lavigne.

    The message of this film is that:

    The girls need the support of what only the eternally bubbly Shelly can provide... but they will each learn on their own, to stop pretending to be what others want them to be, and start being themselves.

    Well worth watching.

  • Low-brow, puerile, nonsensical… and actually quite fun

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    I probably should find some sort of way of taking my name off this review. I am ashamed to admit it, but The House Bunny is actually quite fun.

    Anna Faris plays Shelley, a Playboy Mansion ‘Bunny’ who has been thrown out of the mansion for being too old (‘old’ meaning 27 – probably about right in the eyes of Hugh Hefner). She then goes on to act as ‘house mother’ to a bunch of ‘unattractive’ girls in a nearby college. She then goes on to help them prove themselves in the eyes of their peers, who constantly put them down for being such losers.

    It’s possibly the most predictable story ever. Everyone should hate this. And everyone probably would if it wasn’t for Anna Faris. Not only is she an added attraction for male viewers (just check out the pictures to see what I mean), but she’s actually quite loveable. Many a blonde actress has played a blonde bimbo, but she carries it off without being too over-the-top and stupid. Yes, she makes the odd gaffe here and there, but you can’t help warming to her as she does mean well in all that she does. In fact, some of Anna Faris’ lines and mannerisms are downright hilarious and she would almost carry this on her own, had it not been for Emma Stone who compliments Faris’ glamour in her ‘geekiness.’

    Yes, this film is as dumb as any that openly puts a Playboy Bunny in the lead role. But it knows that, right? And anyone who watches it should too.

    Basically, watch it, enjoy it, laugh at it, but don’t necessarily tell your friends you did.

    I’m now off to watch some arty foreign film with subtitles – just to try and convince myself I really do have taste in films.

    I wanted to hate this film though it would be bland and pretty dire but in fact is was quite good even the husband enjoyed it. Certianly if you looking for intellectual stimulation your not going to find it here but if your looking for an entertaining film where you can switch your brain off and enjoy then this is the one for you.
