Details

Shelley is living a carefree life until a rival gets her tossed out of the Playboy Mansion. With nowhere to go, fate delivers her to the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. Unless they can sign a new pledge class, the seven socially clueless women will lose their house to the scheming girls of Phi Iota Mu. In order to accomplish their goal, they need Shelley to teach them the ways of makeup and men; at the same time, Shelley needs some of what the Zetas have - a sense of individuality. The combination leads all the girls to learn how to stop pretending and start being themselves.

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
bowmanblue I probably should find some sort of way of taking my name off this review. I am ashamed to admit it, but The House Bunny is actually quite fun.Anna Faris plays Shelley, a Playboy Mansion 'Bunny' who has been thrown out of the mansion for being too old ('old' meaning 27 - probably about right in the eyes of Hugh Hefner). She then goes on to act as 'house mother' to a bunch of 'unattractive' girls in a nearby college. She then goes on to help them prove themselves in the eyes of their peers, who constantly put them down for being such losers.It's possibly the most predictable story ever. Everyone should hate this. And everyone probably would if it wasn't for Anna Faris. Not only is she an added attraction for male viewers (just check out the pictures to see what I mean), but she's actually quite lovable. Many a blonde actress has played a blonde bimbo, but she carries it off without being too over-the-top and stupid. Yes, she makes the odd gaffe here and there, but you can't help warming to her as she does mean well in all that she does. In fact, some of Anna Faris' lines and mannerisms are downright hilarious and she would almost carry this on her own, had it not been for Emma Stone who compliments Faris' glamour in her 'geekiness.' Yes, this film is as dumb as any that openly puts a Playboy Bunny in the lead role. But it knows that, right? And anyone who watches it should too.Basically, watch it, enjoy it, laugh at it, but don't necessarily tell your friends you did.I'm now off to watch some arty foreign film with subtitles - just to try and convince myself I really do have taste in films.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
Penelope Ana Mn I liked this movie because it's not raunchy. Yes there are sexual innuendo jokes but this is obviously not a movie for children. Anna Faris's acting is ideal. I did not know that she could do this style of acting and carry a film. The plot is not hard to follow and I like it how the film doesn't demean the audience by making jokes or plot lines that make no sense. The House Bunny is good for teens who aren't impressionable and for adults. The music at the end was great. Here's a list of the best scenes 1) The House Bunny is stuck out in the rain. 2) The House Bunny goes on a date and messes things up. 3) The ending scene where Katherine McPhee sings and there's dancing. 4) The sorority girls act snooty.
lisafordeay Anna Faris whom people may remember her from as Ryan Reynolds Britney Spears cloned girlfriend,plays Shelley in this cute teen comedy. Shelley is a former playboy bunny who's just celebrated her 27th birthday. But when Shelley receives a letter from the boss of the playboy mansion(yes folks Hugh Heffner is IN this MOVIE!!)it states that she is too old for playboy and must leave the premise. With nowhere else to go only her old car that's a banger she of course stumbles across a sorority campus. The first campus doesn't want to hear of her while the other place which has Emma Stone,Rumur Willis,Kat Jennings and former winner of American Idol Katherine McPhee in it she of course decides to be their sorority mother.Like in a lot of teen comedies nowadays the girls that Shelley stays with are pretty average geeky chicks and with the help of some make up and hair extensions they turn into real life Barbie dolls(actually one part reminded me of that 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan getting a makeover)and try and do a campaign to stop their sorority house from being taken from them by their other sorority campus ruled by some bitchy chick who wants to sabotage their house the Zeta.Overall this film whose producer is YUP you guessed it Adam Sandler along with his buddy from The Wedding Singer Allen Covert who also produced Hotel Transylvania,this flick is really all not that bad and I think this is Emma Stone's debut movie as I never heard her do any movies in 2004 or 05 or 06. I give this movie a 5.Also starring in this movie is Tom Hanks son Colin Hanks who plays Shelley's love interest.
Stevo Cleavo Who says a chick flick can't make you believe in aliens. Was this funny. Yes Was it touching yes. A real life bunny heads to NY to find the duck she fell in love with. If scared of bats beware, there is 20 minutes of animal porn,surprised me. Anna Faris makes me believe in love and that anyone looks good in pink. Emma stones breakout performance. Believe in love everyone. Don't watch if pregnant. Great movie to watch for a car ride. Is on two discs since its extra long. Was shot with one camera, no lighting. Need 3-d glasses to see whole film. YAY! The house bunny is a movie for all houses, expect those with more than 4 dogs.
