House Bunny

Movie Title: House Bunny

Description: Comic actress Anna Faris (LOST IN TRANSLATION, SCARY MOVIE) shines in her starring turn in THE HOUSE BUNNY, a hilarious and heartfelt tale of female empowerment. As the film opens, Shelly Darlingson (Farris) is Big Bunny on Campus at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion. With her 27th birthday approaching, Shelly eagerly anticipates fulfilling her dream: to be centerfold of the month. But when she learns that she's being booted from Bunnyland, Shelly finds herself with no family or place to call home. Desperate for both, she lucks across the socially inept sisters of the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority. With no hope of attracting new pledges and the consequent threat of losing their sorority, the girls of Zeta take in the bubbly Shelly as their new "house mother." Shelly immediately sets to work helping the Zetas bring out their inner glamazons, luring in boys while drawing the ire of rival sorority Phi Iota Mu. Shelly also catches the eye of Oliver (Colin Hanks), who forces her to realize that it will take more her Playboy Mansion ways to win over a good man. Plus, Shelly discovers that her social insights have transformed the Zetas into the very superficial types they once railed against. And when Hugh Hefner calls to offer Shelly her dream centerfold shoot, she must choose between returning to the family that loved her best and saving the family that needs her most. Faris (who co-produced the film) is a comic delight as Shelly, with a perfect blend of sexy charm and sweet-natured cluelessness. Supported by an excellent cast of fresh faces and seasoned veterans, THE HOUSE BUNNY is an irresistible tale of inner beauty and "sisters" sticking together.

Staff Reviews

  Anna Farris is a genius. She hits a homerun with this film. Not only is her brand of comedy unique it is also refreshing. She managed to poke long over due fun at a Hef, the bunnies and the ridiculous life style of this lost generation looking for attention at any cost. Sad but true. Thank you. Anna. Sincerely, Russell Redondo Beach, CA

  after so much hype.........I found this film to be "okay" C+ material. It is always good to see Hugh Hef' on screen. Wow what a pimp daddy. Anna is very cute and has extremely low body fat. This was in no way the real world. Glamour and glitz would always rule out, if given a choice. Well the backstabbing is there, I'm very sorry about that gem of reality.
