The House Bunny
Anne Faris of Scary Movies fame anchored this movie. Her stupidity and ignorance facial expression are so funny. And with the crafty wits, naughty innuendoes, stupid lines makes it a very enjoyable show with a simple story. She is Shelley, an orphan and has been living in the playboy mansion. Her dream was to be in the playboy centrefold but she was conned into believing the owner Hef wanted her to leave.
She left and stayed overnight in her car. Following day she stumbled into the house of Phi Iota Mu sorority, run by a bunch of self-centred, egoistic and snobbish students and mums. And knowing that what a sorority mum do was "similar" to what she do in playboy mansion, but of course the Phi Iota Mu won't need her. But then one of them told her, the Zeta house might need one as one just left.
Over at Zeta was a complete different story, they faced a deadline to recruit 30 members if not, their house will be taken back by the college. Initially, they rejected her as well but seeing her attracting lots of passing by guys stopping to look at her, they decided to let her try it out. I liked the part where she say she remembered names by saying them out in a "Darth Vader" voice, quite funny.
Each of the Zeta girls had their own unique way of utmost negative attractive energy around them, thus telling why their sorority was closing. Natalie the intellectual nerd who seemingly had the most boring ideas. Mona the one that got almost every part of her body pierced. Harmony the pregnant teenager. Joanne the one who still wore the "iron man" suit to protect her spine though she already recovered few years back. Mae the one that was as british tomboy. Lily the one who was so shy that she communicate through text.
During a nights out at a club, Mae's attempt to attract a guy was hilarous. "Hey Can you tell me where is the crapper ? I need to drop off some timbers". Shelley then told her she need to put in some mysterious elements. She went back. "Hey Can you tell me where is the crapper ? I need to do something mysterious". Then following up by whispering "I need to drop off some timbers"
Shelley's plan was to induce hotness into them. Changing them from being forgettable losers to hottest chicks in school. She taught them making up, using water bras, being sexy, showing cleavage. It was a huge success as their change attracted lots of attention. And coming out with their calender helped.
Shelley got her own little problem, sort of liking this guy she met. Oliver, who managed a nursing home. The way she put it that "'How nice of you to have a place for nurses to stay in" was totally simple ignorant fun. The mimic "Marilyn Monroe" scene was real funny as well. Her tricks didn't go well during their first date, telling him to kiss her and she had to go because she was so hot that she got other dates lining up.
Her second date was worse as she tried hard to be intellectual by studying, reading and cramping facts and figures up her head. She was in a mess as she fell here and there due to her nerdy specs causing her difficult to see. She went back unhappy but got a call from Hef, wanting her back and she will be centrefold for Nov, which she rejected.
Then she was even more sad when the girls blamed her for turning them into bimbos who started to criticise people whom they are recruiting by looking at their photos. Shelley left and back to Hef. But she found out being a centrefold wasn't what she want so she left midway during a shoot.
The girls found her and told her they were sorry for being bad to her. But Shelley got a difficult task up ahead as Phi Iota Mu's dirty trick cause all their new recruitments not to turn up. She managed to convince on-the-spot people to join Zeta during the so called whatever council meeting.
No more toilet humour, never ending puke and futt, and of course plain old meaingless spoofs. This was enjoyable. 8/10
