The House Bunny


I had watched this movie last night. I have never understood the fascination some people have with Anna Faris. To me, while an attractive woman, she’s never been that “hot”.

So here comes "The House Bunny". A comedy about a Playboy playmate with Anna in the lead.

The synopsis for House Bunny looks something like this: “When Shelly, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. The members of the sorority - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley can provide… but they will each learn on their own to stop pretending to be what others want them to be and start being themselves.”

Some people may criticize this movie for promoting a philosophy that you have to be sexy to be happy. Oddly enough i will defend the movie on this one point. To me, the message of the movie wasn’t that you have to look hot to have a life, but rather looking your best can give you confidence. When you think you look best, you do have more confidence, and it’s often your confidence that takes you places. This is the message i think certain parts of the movie were trying to convey, and i like how they did that.

However, the bad is no laughs. All the jokes can be seen coming from "4 miles" away, those ones were spoiled for me. Oh there were a couple of grins here and there, but not much more beyond that.

Go to watch it, IF... you are really bored or you have money!! Lol lol..
