The House Bunny
The House Bunny - ★★★☆
When Playboy bunny Shelley Darlington (Anna Faris) gets evicted from the mansion, she is a woman without a country -- that is, until she meets the sisters of Zeta Alpha Zeta, a sorority on the brink of losing its campus chapter. The Zetas need Shelley's makeover expertise so they can attract a new pledge class -- otherwise, their house goes to rivals Phi Iota Mu. But the Zetas have something Shelly needs, too: the confidence to be herself.

I've only ever seen Anna Faris in Just Friends, and she was hilarious. This one is good too. Cliche? Yes. Predictable? Yes. Campy? Yes. And I liked it for all those reasons. I did feel rather sad when they kicked her out of the mansion the morning after she turned 27. I'll be 27 next month. But I'm not a Bunny. Far from it.
Katherine McPhee was nice to watch, playing the pregnant hippy. And the general transformation of the Zetas was funny, especially the Aztec party with the giant volcano full of jello. It makes me want to go back to college and do things differently. Not to party more... but to work harder at coming out of my shell.
