The House Bunny
When Shelly, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. The members of the sorority - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley 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.

superb.......................
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. -

no no no!!!
If I had daughters I think that I would be even more disturbed by this film - we have more than enough 'blonde women are stupid' films around, and this one is sub standard as it is so unoriginal. I am so sick of 'geeky unattractive' women having the whole ugly duckling into swan stuff done to them - they are not unattractive in the first place, and the message it gives out is that it is better to be pretty than clever, so if you are clever you better hide it.
This will appeal to the kind of people who have bought into the porn is cool and harmless line - this is not of course a porn film, but do not forget what Playboy really is.
And the whole Playboy thing has been so mainstreamed, but at the end of the day Hefner is a pornographer - a clever man who saw that in order to carry on having sex with busty 20 year olds he had to have some way of staying near them. Hefner has had some dodgy dealings with some extreme pornographers - he is NOT a nice man!
Why did I go and see this film - I was drunk with some mates and we went in a ironic sort of way. We were expecting little and we weren't disappointed. -
