The House Bunny Reviews

[Highly rated reviewer]

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.

For any true movie fans out there...

I know you probably won't even give this film a second glance but for all those of you out there that are about to be tricked like I was; DON'T DO IT!!!! I had recently watched 'I Want Candy' a seemingly pointless film about a big breasted woman and found it to actually be a really smart and funny low budget British flick and so had similar hopes for this 'movie'. (Thats right air quotes). To call this a film is an insult to films, think 'Striptease' but for 13 year olds. If you want that then go ahead, otherwise move along and don't look back.

The worst thing about this movie is that it uses cheap humour to trick you into thinking its funny, you laugh at obvious jokes about once every twenty minutes and come out thinking you watched a comedy. A four year old could write this script. And don't get me started on the message, its disgusting. They try to make it ok by calling the bunny stupid a couple of times but it still doesn't change the fact that they are saying you have to dress, as the bunny says 'skimpy' in order to get what you want in life. This backwards message makes me sad to be a human being if its one people actually agree with.

Razzie anyone?

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.

MUCH better than it sounds..

If the title or picture on the box is putting you off, don't let it. It really was one of those films that I was dragged to watch not really being too enthusiastic and I left shouting its praises. Shelly (Anna Faris) is the subject of some jealous attention in the Playboy Mansion that sees her unfairly moved out. Her not too extensive search for alternative accomodation finds her on the doorstep of a geeky sorority house on a college campus. Once there she turns the geeky girls lives upside down. The whole thing has a life of its own as a silly fluffy inane bit of cinema, and that is nothing to be ashamed of as it is all the better for it. Definately recommended for a real light funny cutesy night in, I really enjoyed it.

don't watch this

we just about, painfully, managed to struggle to watch 19 minutes. after that we lost the will to live and switched off. if you have anything else to do with your time even if it's just trimming your toenails then do this this rather than watch this film.

watch if you want a good laugh

this film is very stereotypical, but if you want cheering up this is the film for you. a slapstick comedy aimed at girls but with a few very funny moments (still laughing now thinking about the Marilyn Monroe bit, hee hee hee). also has an important motto in it which is 'make the most out of yourself and become popular but dont turn into the bitches you hate doing it, just be yourself' - oh and that most boys are stupid and dont see whats infront of their faces - meaning pretty intelligent girls, all they see is blonde hair and fake boobs.

House Bunny

I liked this film alot more than i expected as usually i am more into serious films or horrors. i would reccomend this film to anyone who likes a laugh a bit of smut on occasion and a proper heartfelt girly chick with typical happy ending....... Faris looks gorgeous and gets in to bunny girl character with ease. I like the way Hugh Heffner starred as himself too. Love the voice faris puts on when she tries to remember names it had me and my girlfriends in stitches. Men will also like this film for obvious reasons i am sure lol. Def a film i could watch again without boredom a must see for chick flick lovers out there!!!

the house bunny

very funny. thought it was a really gd film. nt jst a girly film either. am going to buy on dvd.

unrealised potential

This movie had a great premise, and a great leading actress, but there was potential for far more and better situations than were actually written, and it felt like it almost got there but not quite. If you like looking at hot girls, this is definately your movie, but if you wanted female empowerment, look elsewhere. If you want harmless fun, there is some, but you'll find yourself thinking 'oh i bet they're going to do this, yay!' and they don't. The movie leaves you strangely unsatisfied.

dreadful!

I expected this film to be a hell of a lot better than it was. My boyfriend quite enjoyed it suprisingly but mainly due to the skimpy outfits of the females in the film! Poor acting that makes you cringe and a cheesy storyline
