The The House Bunny is the big breasted attempt at attention directed by Fred Wolf. The The House Bunny is only a 90% waste of time.
Playboy bunny Shelly Darlingson (Anna Faris) lives the life of luxury with her beloved Playboy Bunnies in the Playboy Mansion. The day after her twenty seventh birthday she receives a letter from Hugh Hefner (Hugh Hefner) telling her to vacate the Playboy Mansion within two hours. Devastated, she is cast out to live in her old beat up station wagon. Serendipitously, she is introduced to the dying ZETA sorority, who need a house mother. The ZETA's are in danger of losing their sorority charter without 30 pledges, but they have been unable to get the numbers they need because they are as awkward as water is wet. The charming but horribly graceless defacto leader is Natalie (Emma Stone), the about to burst pregnant sister Harmony (Katharine McPhee), the physically braced Joanne (Rumer Willis), the painfully shy Lilly (Kiely Williams), the masculine country beast Carrie Mae (Dana Goodman), and radical feminist gothish chick Mona (Kat Dennings). During her first event with the ZETA girls, Shelly meets Oliver (Colin Hanks); a sweet nursing home manager.
Anna Faris, who has the main role in the movie, seems to have the four B's going for her; blond, beautiful, boobies and Botox. She definitely has a beautiful body, but I found the movement in her face constantly distracting. The corners of her mouth seemed unable to work together; only one side could be up at a time. If she had blown me away with her acting, I wouldn't have mentioned it, but she didn't.
