At the beginning of The House Bunny, you think this is going to be one of those overly stupid comedies, which tries so hard to be funny that it actually isn't. And you would be right in thinking that at the beginning.
I tried so hard not to like at as it seemed so fake and false to start with, especially with Anna Faris playing the lead character, Shelley. Faris, most famous for her role in the Scary Movie films, is not known for her strong acting and she does not disappoint her.
Shelley lives at the Playboy Mansion although she is not a Playboy centrefold. She gets kicked out by a rival Bunny at the age of 27 and has nowhere to live. She discovers a sorority house which is going to be shut down if they do not get any more pledges, because it is full of "losers", and Shelley decides to become their house mother.
The plot is simple and predictable. As many films before this one, you know that the losers will be transformed into "hotties" and that the sorority house will be saved in the end, with sentiments about friendship and appreciating who you are along the way.
That being said, I found myself laughing and cringing a lot. Boys will like this as Shelley spends the whole film in the tiniest outfits ever. The rivals are typical bitches which brings nothing original to the table at all. Also, listen out for Keily Williams' terrible English accent and spot Bruce Willis' daughter, Rumer, and All-American Rejects frontman, Tyson Ritter.
All in all, this is quite a funny film, which requires no thinking whatsoever so if you want to see something for a girly get-together, The House Bunny is for you. Rating: 2/5
