Review of The House Bunny (2008) by Russell G — 22 Sep 2014
An airhead Playboy Playmate loses her pampered lifestyle of the Playboy Mansion and finds herself forced to live in the real world. Instead, she gets a gig as the housemother for a sorority full of unpopular outcast girls.
She hopes to help the girls with their social skills and remake their image. Anna Faris is funny as the exaggerated talentless ditzy model stereotype. A supporting cast of Emma Stone, Kat Dennings and the other sorority misfits help to compliment and balance her.
Even the sub-plot of the love story between Anna Faris and Colin Hanks maintains the pleasantly humorous tone without turning mushy. Overall, it is pleasant, moderately funny, and makes for a fun time.
It fails to break through as a hard-laugh underdog story, as it does not break any new ground or make any lasting impressions.
