Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

FlashCallahan Shelley Darlingson was raised in an orphanage, but when she blossomed into a hot girl and moved into the Playboy Mansion. But she's summarily evicted on her 27th birthday, because she's too old. In desperation she takes a job as house mother for a sorority of misfits losing their house for lack of members. They have a few months to find 30 pledges, or a sorority of popular girls will take over their place. Shelley figures that girls will pledge a house that boys find interesting, so she sets out to make the girls alluring, not act too smart, and host great parties........It's from Happy Madison pictures, so don't expect something too clever. If you like Adam Sandler side projects, like Grandmas Boy, and Deuce Bigalow, you will know what to expect.It's as subtle as a sledge hammer, the humour is mostly gross out and inane, but there is also a little bit of heart to it.Fairs is great as the playboy bunny, and she doesn't overdo the popular girl schtick too much, in fact, she's one of the most sympathetic characters in the whole film, showing that she probably could have been a success if she chose the right path.As usual, the not so pretty girls turn out to be really hot ala She's All That, and despite connotation toward Mean Girls, there's not much reference.Its a fun ninety minutes, nothing too serious, or too stupid.It won't do you any harm.

Matthew_Capitano Once you stop vomiting at the thought that Adam 'Not-Funny-In-The-Least' Sandler had anything to do with this film, you might really enjoy it for the presence of Emma Stone.Emma is super as 'Natalie', a sweet girl who wants to help save her sorority. Emma is far out funny. On the flip side, Anna Faris' dumb Playboy Bunny schtick gets old real fast as she appears to have only one expression, although she shows her butt (if that makes any difference). Hugh Hefner tries to act, but it's a no-go.Totally worth tuning in to see beautiful Emma Stone's meticulously laugh-out-loud performance.

Raul Faust I admit that what made me watch this movie is the respect I have for Anna Faris. I imagined this wouldn't be a very credible picture-- and in fact, it isn't. The plot is weak and formulaic most of the time, witch exception of some few scenes. Everyone can see, from the get go, that Shelley would turn the girls into popular chicks-- it was more than predictable. One of the few aspects I liked about this film is Faris' enjoyable and innocent character, who made me hardly laugh in the dinner scene, specially when she tried to pretend to be smart. All in all, this is an ordinary movie with some bad scenes, but entertaining for some while.

hall895 The House Bunny is a possibly decent R-rated comedy trapped in PG-13 hell. Seriously, a Playboy bunny in a sorority house...PG-13? Not to say that this had to be an all-out raunch-fest stuffed with endless vulgarity and nudity. But this is a movie which desperately needs a little edge to it. Instead it constantly approaches the line of good taste and then scurries back to safety. For this movie to work it had to go over the line now and again. As it is things are played way too safe.Of course even if the movie did take a few more chances it was still never going to be any kind of great cinematic revelation. All you're hoping for is a few laughs and the movie fails to deliver them. The story follows Shelley who has been recently evicted from the Playboy mansion for the high crime of being, at 27, too old. She ends up as house mother to the Zeta sorority girls. The Zetas are, to put it bluntly, losers. Shelley has to whip them into shape lest they lose their charter and their house to the mean girls from Phi Iota Mu. Once that story sets itself up there's no drama, it's obvious where the movie's headed. You wouldn't mind the inevitability if the movie gave you solid laughs. But it doesn't. Anna Faris is game in the role of Shelley but she has so little to work with. The script is lousy, the jokes fall flat, the supporting characters offer very little help. Emma Stone is really the only other performer to come away with any credit at all. She plays Natalie, the most normal of the loser Zeta girls. The rest of them are just absurd, and not in a funny way but rather in a stupid way. The two male love interests, one for Shelley and one for Natalie, are total duds. Hugh Hefner proves to be such a terrible actor that he can't even convincingly portray Hugh Hefner. Faris has enough charm, charisma and comic chops to save the movie from being truly wretched. But the movie, afraid to take risks, never really had a chance to succeed. Loosen up, embrace the Playboy storyline, go for that R-rating. Instead all we get is an endless series of tame, lame dumb blonde jokes. This movie was never going to be great. But it surely could have been better than this.
