Plots(1)
Shelley Darlington has lived at the Playboy mansion for the last nine years. She is Hef's favorite and acts like a den mother to the other girls. On her birthday, she is unceremoniously evicted from Hef's pad for 'being too old.' Homeless and without essential skills, Shelley wanders around L.A. until she finds a new job--the housemother at the most unpopular sorority on campus. (official distributor synopsis)

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.
