The House Bunny (2008)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Fred Wolf
Starring: Anna Faris, Colin Hanks, Emma Stone
Running time: 97 minutes



The House Bunny is a comedy about an aspiring Playboy Playmate who lives her dream life at the Playboy Mansion. After her 27th birthday, she gets kicked out and has to find a new place to live. After she leaves that life of luxury, she stumbles on a university campus and gets hired as house mother for an unpopular sorority.

This is your formulaic feel-good comedy where a group of socially-inapt ugly duckling girls are all transformed into intelligent and beautiful women by the end of it. It has been done a thousand times before, and on many occasions with more ability and success. I will give The House Bunny props for a few funny pop culture references and a nice cameo by the great Hugh Heffner.  Anna Faris gives it all she has to offer, but a good movie that does not necessarily make. So, overall, there is nothing much to see here.
