When the mansion's favourite bunny, Shelley (Anna Faris), is kicked out of the hottest house in town, she gets lost in the wilderness of Beverly Hills. But when she stumbles into the sorriest sorority, Zeta Alpha Zeta, she finds a home where she can finally put her talents to good use. Then when Shelley meets a beau she'd like to tie on for good, she really has something to flirt for and thinks she might have a chance at life on the outside. Now, the race is on to make over the girls and make Zeta the hottest house before the University shuts them down. (Shock Entertainment)

Cliche, cliche, cliche, a good joke here and there. I don’t think I wasted an hour and a half of my life with The House Bunny mostly thanks to Emma Stone and Kat Dennings, who truly rule the film. Anna Faris is not bad either, but for my taste she tries too hard, and she can but look up to the Legally Blonde Reese Witherspoon (from the same screenwriters).

Movies from Sandler's Happy Madison Production are known for their various moral messages, which lower the already weak quality of each film. This case was no exception. The script was particularly weak, so not even Colin Hanks and Emma Stone, actors I actually like, could save the situation. Maybe I'd be more generous in my rating if I were a fan of Playboy, but I've always been in Bob Guccione's camp, so I was more of a Penthouse guy. But I don't want to be a complete grump and killjoy, so I have to appreciate that the film taught me to notice the clink when someone drops a dollar, and how to not overstuff myself with Mahi Mahi when I can make do with just Mahi. / Lesson learned: Cats have sharp claws.
