The House Bunny PG 13
Fred Wolf's teen flick, the House
Bunny, is dumb but funny in parts. Anna Faris of Playboy plays a magazine model
kicked out before she can be in the next issue, and she falls from her lofty
mansion life of pampered living to end up in a Snow White way with some
extremely dorky girls in a college sorority that is struggling to keep from
being decimated at the hands off a rival shallow and egotistical popular house.
Tries to be Animal House but ends up Van Wilder. Faris' character learns how
not to be shallow so that she can give her dorks a makeover and have them be
popular. At times, this shallow and dimwitted movie is comic silver, not quite
gold, and it glitters at times, but mostly it's all just window dressing. Worth
a rental for the "tweens", girls or boys, and maybe some of the
basement or attic dwelling guys that dig Faris. (Not my thing). Anyway, other
critics didn't add the story is derivative of the "Sydney White"
movie, with Amanda Bynes, a fashionable cute girl in a sorority of dorks,
fighting the rivals. And then there's Amy Heckerling's "Clueless".
Imagine what she could have done with this! Review by Adam Browne
