Features Actors; Anna Faris, Colin Hanks, Emma Stone, Rumer Willis, Katherine McPhee, Kat Dennings & Hugh Hefner. Rating: PG-13 Running Time:97 Min. Faris stars as Shelly Darlingson, a 27-year old Playboy Bunny living the good life with Hugh Hefner and endless shopping and parties. One morning, a note from Hefner comes and Darlingson thinks it could her first centerfold spread offer but it's instead an eviction notice - at 27, she's too old ('27 is 59 in bunny years'). So evicted with nothing but the junker car she arrived in, she hits the streets bewildered and lost and with no real skill sets. She stumbles upon a college campus and realizes that being a housemother for a sorority would be perfect. Getting laughed out of all the popular sororities, she finds one sorority in shambles and about to be closed down due to lack of pledges. With only a small group of rough-around-the-edges nerds, misfits and social pariahs, Zeta is the laughing-stock of the campus which is perfect for Shelly to come in and transform into the school's most popular sorority. With Shelly helping all the gals, the girls in turn help her out to impress a smart nerdy guy (Colin Hanks) who she develops a crush on. Will there be more than a couple make-overs? Will there be lessons of self-esteem and beauty? Will each of the girls have their little small obstacles to overcome? Yes on all accounts and it's all as derivative as it sounds. Although the story has almost nothing to give us, Faris still made me smile throughout. Cute movie with a good ending.Hope this helps you decide.Thanks for reading! :)Read full review
Anna Faris, who proved her incredible comedy talents as the star of the "Scary Movie" franchise, once again shines in the affable teen comedy, THE HOUSE BUNNY. When sweet Playboy model Shelley Darlingson (Anna Faris) is booted out of the Mansion for committing the cardinal sin of turning twenty-seven ("that's 59 in Bunny Years!"), she must find a way to reinvent her life. But what's a girl to do when she only has a killer rack and a sunny personality? Of course...become the house mother to a struggling college sorority of misfit teen girls whose social skills could do with a bedazzling makeover! It doesn't offer anything new to the teen comedy genre, but THE HOUSE BUNNY is likeable enough to please those who approach it in the right spirit. Anna Faris is charming and delightful as Shelley, providing a sweet performance undeserving of the limited material. Colin Hanks, Beverly d'Angelo, Christopher McDonald and the girls of Alpha Zeta (in particular Emma Stone, Kat Dennings, Rumer Willis and Kiely Williams) are all solid in their support. Hugh Hefner's cameo with the real Playboy gals adds an extra touch of authenticity to Shelley's life at the Mansion. The Blu-ray release includes behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, Katharine McPhee's "I Know What Boys Like" music video; and trailers.Read full review
This is a simple lighthearted comedy about a Playboy bunny who thinks she has been kicked out of the Playboy mansion. Forced to live on the streets she becomes a sorority mother to the biggest misfits in college. She takes them and teaches them self esteem, make-up, how to catch men, and have a good time. Think of Revenge of the Nerds with women. A comedy the is watchable again and again if only to see the butt shot.

The House Bunny pulls no punches jokes in almost every scene and the cast of ladies is wonderful.
