Synopsis
Amazon.com Review
"I'm an expert in parties and boys. I'm a Bunny! Men write to me from prison--sometimes in their own blood!" So declares ex-Playboy Bunny Shelley, tossed out of the Mansion by a rival for her advanced age (27--"59 in bunny years," she's told). As played by the utterly fearless and appealing Anna Faris, Shelley becomes an unlikely post-feminist heroine, who finds a great use for her not-too-considerable expertise: being sexy. With nowhere else to live, Shelley finds herself as the house mother for a dying sorority, the Zetas, who are the audience for the rallying cry above. And the slightly misfit sisters, though wary, end up giving Shelley a sisterhood she could never have built back at the Grotto. To help build up the sorority, Shelley gives the young women her own peculiar tutorials in charm school--helping them raise their campus profile and recruit new pledges in the process. "When I'm done, every girl on campus will want to pledge Zeta!" Ignore her at your peril, girls. If the formula is a bit predictable, the pace is lively and the cast, headed by the wide-eyed Faris, is aces. American Idol contestant Katharine McPhee is a natural on camera, as is Rumer Willis, daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. The supporting cast includes the capable Colin Hanks and Beverly D'Angelo, and a bit too much screen time for the real-life Hugh Hefner, who maybe should have stayed on the set of The Girls Next Door. Still, Faris channels the cheerful, girly determination of Reese Witherspoon's Elle Woods--no surprise since The House Bunny was cowritten by Kirsten Smith, who wrote Legally Blonde. Fans of silly romances, hop to it.--A.T. Hurley

Format:DVD
The house bunny at first glance is a teen comedy about bunny girls at the playboy mansion. But dig a little deeper and you will see many hidden meanings about life. This is a fun film which demonstrates that it is not only clueless big busted blondes that have fun. Anna Faris plays Shelley perfectly...she is simple, and has only what you would consider "bunny girl" traits to her personality. But stepping out of the playboy mansion she realises that there is more to life and starts to help a sorority group of girls who are intelligent but could do with a lesson in how to shop and style! It's a fun film that girls will like more than they first thought...and the boyfriends will watch for the eye candy! A truly win-win situation.

I think Anna Farris is great but I felt that this film was a bit average. There are some really funny moments but on the whole the film was just ok. I would recommend it though (particularly for the 'remembering names scene').

I'll admit it. I watched this for the first time and thought what a load of rubbish. But i re-watched it about 6 months later, and its a lot funnier than when i originally watched it. So i'd give it a go, because you may hate it or you may love it, and in my case i hated it and now love it!!
All the reviews give a basic plot to the movie, so i won't mention it again.
I thought the plot was basic, but enjoyable enough, and the characters were well cast. I actually found the character 'Carrie Mae' such a hoot. She made me laugh SO much, i was in stiches. Shes so butch!
Anna Faris was brilliant as the typical 'air head' character she normally plays, and comes out with brilliant quotes. And i really like Emma Stone as Natalie. Shes great. Saw her in Zombieland and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. A dark horse this girl is, with a great talent for acting and i hope to see her in more things.
At first i would have rated 3 stars, but now 5. I do recommend it, its a good girly movie for a night in, and i think if your not to zealous about details than you'll like it. Give it a chance ;)

House Bunny
Really liked this film, very entertaining and believable - could actually be true, good story. Anna Faris good in this, don't usually like her characters!

Low-brow, puerile, nonsensical... and actually quite fun
I probably should find some sort of way of taking my name off this review. I am ashamed to admit it, but The House Bunny is actually quite fun. Read more

Great laugh out loud comedy with a simple but fun storyline. The film is worth watching for Anna Faris alone as she is amazing in the role of the playboy playmate who is incredibly... Read more

Hops along nicely
Had low expectations, and was very pleasantly surprised by how good this is.
The film is littered with enough "laugh-aloud" moments to put more than a smile on your face. Read more

Not as cheesy as you'd think!
I thought this film was going to be really cheesy, like other comedies based around girls with big boobs and bums! Read more

Deutscher Ton vorhanden - mieser Kontrast
Moin!
Wirklich lustiger Film mit (erwartungsgemäß) wenig Tiefgang.
Der Kontrast der Blu-Ray ist massiv daneben - hier wurde vermutlich der falsche Farbraum... Read more
