Movie #275 - The House Bunny

The House Bunny
2008 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 37 min
Director: Fred Wolf
Starring: Anna Faris, Colin Hanks, Emma Stone, Kat Dennings, Hugh Hefner, Christopher McDonald, Katharine McPhee, Rumer Willis, Kiely Williams, Dana Goodman

Another campy one, House Bunny also knows how dumb its premise is.  A Playmate gets tricked into leaving the Playboy Mansion by another playmate and finds a home among a college sorority for misfits...as their house mother.  Emma Stone and friends (including Bruce & Demi's daughter Rumer and an American Idol runner-up) make a great ensemble, playing off Anna Faris's spot-on Shelly.

Hugh Hefner can't act, which we quickly establish in this movie but somehow don't mind, and Colin Hanks plays the charming, handsome love interest.  They seem mismatched, Anna and Colin, but they are adorable together in their own way.

This one's just fun to watch, thanks to Farris's all-in performance. She's all bunny, all blonde, and all funny too.
