Review of The House Bunny (2008) by Thérèse A — 23 Feb 2010
"Brains. Beauty. Bravery. These girls got it all... They just don't know it yet.".
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.
REVIEW.
Playboy Bunny Anna Faris attaches herself to a sorority full of losers in this Adam Sandler production. That should tell you in itself that this isn't a very good movie, because Sandler's Happy Madison production company has produced some egregious crap over the past few years. The House Bunny is a masterpiece compared to some of those films (e.g. Grandma's Boy), but it's mostly lame with only a handful of laughs, none of them too big. Faris is actually a pretty talented comedic actress, even if she really only has the bimbo persona to work with. But her line readings are often very clever. Emma Stone proves herself a talent to watch here. But after those two, no one else is particularly funny. I did like the film's almost 1980s-like feel, almost like this was a Revenge of the Nerds for girls. I just wish it were funnier.
