    Completely useless movie, but about half way into it, it did get a little funny. All-in-all it was worth wasting an hour and a half on.

    Anna Faris is funny. Parts of this movie were unfunny (you hear me, Katherine McPhee?).

    "Manhole. I like that word. Manhole."

    I really can't understand why I bothered to waste 90 minutes of my life for this unfunny 'Legally Blonde' / 'Nerds' copycat. I, once again, had troubles to not push the stop button but, like I've mentioned in my earlier reviews, I always giv...( read more)e a chance to every movie I see.

    Anna Faris, who without a doubt is cute as hell, plays a Playboy bunny who gets kicked out of Hef's mansion after her 27th birthday. But this wasn't Hef's choice, as she was set up by another bunny. So, she finds herself in a sorority house full of nerds. And of course, they have rivals that are beautiful as fuck and they have to compete against each other and the nerds become beautiful and lose their inner beauty and bla bla fucking BLA!! Fuck me with rusty nails!

    Anna Faris tries to save the movie from its inevitable doom. She even gives us "funny" frog voices as she memorizes names. There are a couple of good parody scenes of 'Forrest Gump' and the legendary Marilyn Monroe steam scene but there are no miracle workers here. The script is so badly written with terrible pacing problems and a totally unnecessary love story. Why couldn't they give us nude Playboy bunnies instead. Oh yeah, Playboy have their own channel for that...

    So, did I like 'The House Bunny'? Try to guess... Yes, I love beautiful women as any other guy. Why couldn't the filmmakers locate the story entirely to the Playboy mansion? That could've been a lot funnier but they just had to mess it up. I did not laugh even once, didn't even chuckle. 'The House Bunny' is one of the unfunniest movies I've ever seen.

    The House Bunny was a really vapid female version of Revenge of the Nerds. Anna Faris did the typical dumb blonde thing to a T, but she was hysterical in and out of that role. So much to the point where I wish she'd get out of these dumbass movies, do something good and show how ...( read more)incredibly underrated she is. You can tell that Adam Sandler's production company had a hand in this movie as its got a serious douche factor to it. I know the exact type of movie The House Bunny is and my complaining about the wandering but conveniently wrapped up storylines is pointless. The movie had its amusing moments but I can't really think of any reason to recommend it. It's just kind of... ehh.

    You know i was completely surprised at the giggles I had watching this movie. While not great it was fun in a strange strange way.

    funny...but kinda dumb..well if ur a blonde...i guess
  • November 3, 2009
    omg such a cute kick ass movie hilarious
  • November 1, 2009
    Surprisingly decent, but it drags on at points. Also, there are numerous poorly-written, ineffective jokes although there are some good jokes as well. Overall if you have an open mind, it'll surprise people if you accept the ridiculous premises of the story.

Armond White, The New York Press

The House Bunny stays simplistic just like Legally Blonde. Anna Faris deserves better. full review

August 23, 2008
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

A slapdash affair largely lacking in laughs. full review

August 22, 2008
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The House Bunny gets the difference between being openhearted and empty-headed. full review

August 22, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

In The House Bunny, Anna Faris steps up to her first full-fledged leading role and falls right on her adorable face. full review

August 22, 2008
Kurt Loder, MTV

...entirely and hilariously lovable. full review

August 21, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today

By imposing a predictable message, it obscures the satire. full review

    Yeah this was fun! If I have to be honest, I expected nothing of this movie, only bad jokes and dirty talk (like for example in Pledge This), but I was very wrong! Anna Faris was very cute as Shelly. And it's funny to see the makeover of the girls from Zeta!
    If you like chickflick you would absolutely like The House Bunny too! <3
