The House Bunny used a tired, old plot line and. . .didn't do much else with it - it's the same old plot line. Even Anna Faris couldn't save the annoyingly over-the-top characters and the misled attempt at trying to have a message/moral. I am disappointed - this was even dumber than I expected.
... View MoreI love Anna Farris, and I adore Emma Stone, and as for Kat Dennings she is pretty special. Add in Colin Hanks, then how do you get such a poor movie? The problem is that Anna Farris's character has a fraction of the charm of Elle Woods, and I think it's all in the writing, as we know that this cast has talent and can be funny in spades. I see that she Exec Produced this, and I'm all for women developing projects and making them happen, but I think this was a poor choice. It's possible that in the hands of another director, some of the slapstick would have been dialled down, and a little more time spent in making the House Bunny a believable, loveable character.I almost gave up four or five times during this movie, but persisted in the hope that it would get better, but I think I was disappointed.
... View MoreNot a bad movie. Sadly someone at Happy Madison productions didn't trust a simple and enjoyable premise and had to pile on one stupid sight gag after another. If the situation was amusing it got buried under an avalanche of juvenile nonsense. A number of engaging performances. Cute idea. Sadly not trusted by the producers.
... View MoreIn the same line of many young adult/ university movies, The House Bunny was able to be inventive and innovative introducing a little bit of the Playboy universe into the plot. However, we have a typical fight cliché between beauty and brains, and all the prejudice around that compel the characters to discover that the two characteristics are relevant and indissociable. I was glad to see Anna Faris growing out of the scary movie series, and also pleased to see Emma Stone established as an even more excellent comedy actress. I think she captivate the lights for herself throughout the film. Beyond that Faris did a great job portraying the confused beautiful blond stereotype that we see in comedies. But as a cinema lover I hope to see her in major demanding roles. Above all, the story and the scenes are fluid, light and fun for a relaxing afternoon with friends.
