The House Bunny


Release Year: 2008
Review: An ensemble comedy which finds Shelley(Anna Faris), a Playboy bunny who, after being tossed from the mansion because of her age, tries to find purpose again by becoming a house mother at a sorority. Basically this film is just one stereotype after another. It features fill-in-the-blank generic jokes, standard characters and, fittingly enough, the depth of a Playboy article. Anna Faris gets far to much praise for her comedic ability, which is all too one note. Her air-head, shallow, blond routine gets old pretty fast and there isn't much else to get excited about here. Just like the house bunnies it showcases, this movie is plastic, shallow and one dimensional.
Rating: 2/5
