Profile of The House Bunny

The House Bunny can be described as humorous and feel good. The plot revolves around college life, a "fish out of water", and hopes. Its comic aspect comes from silly humor. The House Bunny's main genre is comedy. In terms of style, it stars a strong female character. In approach, it is realistic. The House Bunny is located in Los Angeles. It takes place in contemporary times. It is well suited for a girls' night, teens, and a date night. Note that The House Bunny involves brief nudity and profanity.

Summary of The House Bunny

Comic actress Anna Faris (LOST IN TRANSLATION, SCARY MOVIE) shines in her starring turn in THE HOUSE BUNNY, a hilarious and heartfelt tale of female empowerment. As the film opens, Shelly Darlingson (Farris) is Big Bunny on Campus at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion. With her 27th birthday approaching, Shelly eagerly anticipates fulfilling her dream: to be centerfold of the month. But when she learns that she's being booted from Bunnyland, Shelly finds herself with no family or place to call home. Desperate for both, she lucks across the socially inept sisters of the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority. With no hope of attracting new pledges and the consequent threat of losing their sorority, the girls of Zeta take in the bubbly Shelly as their new "house mother." Shelly immediately sets to work helping the Zetas bring out their inner glamazons, luring in boys while drawing the ire of rival sorority Phi Iota Mu. Shelly also catches the eye of Oliver (Colin Hanks), who forces her to realize that it will take more her Playboy Mansion ways to win over a good man. Plus, Shelly discovers that her social insights have transformed the Zetas into the very superficial types they once railed against. And when Hugh Hefner calls to offer Shelly her dream centerfold shoot, she must choose between returning to the family that loved her best and saving the family that needs her most. Faris (who co-produced the film) is a comic delight as Shelly, with a perfect blend of sexy charm and sweet-natured cluelessness. Supported by an excellent cast of fresh faces and seasoned veterans, THE HOUSE BUNNY is an irresistible tale of inner beauty and "sisters" sticking together.

Critics Reviews

TV Guide
Silly but endearing comedy.
Los Angeles Times
Among the sunnier, funnier films of the year, thanks largely to the zest with which Faris embodies a mental vacuum.

Users Reviews

I watched this movie on cable and found that it was Surprisingly Delightful, Funny, Sexy!...A very cute movie. I recommend it.
This is the worst movie ever made. I am talking about bad writing done in bad taste plus unbelievably bad acting. Period.
