Shelley is living a carefree life until a rival gets her tossed out of the Playboy Mansion. With nowhere to go, fate delivers her to the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. Unless they can sign a new pledge class, the seven socially clueless women will lose their house to the scheming girls of Phi Iota Mu. In order to accomplish their goal, they need Shelley to teach them the ways of makeup and men; at the same time, Shelley needs some of what the Zetas have - a sense of individuality. The combination leads all the girls to learn how to stop pretending and start being themselves.

Perfect cast and a good story
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I 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.
When "Shelley Darlingson" (Anna Faris) is inexplicably kicked out of the Playboy mansion she is forced to find somewhere else to stay. As luck would have it she stumbles upon a college sorority on the verge of being closed and in desperate need of a house mother. However things aren't as simple as they seem because this particular sorority is the social leper of the college due to the fact that the few women inside are extreme nerds and the reason they are about to be closed is that nobody else wants to live there. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this film started out pretty good. Unfortunately, it was quite predictable and seemed to lose steam about halfway through. Still, Anna Faris looked nice and performed adequately I suppose. Additionally, there were some funny parts here and there and for that reason I rate it as only slightly below average.
Anna Faris whom people may remember her from as Ryan Reynolds Britney Spears cloned girlfriend,plays Shelley in this cute teen comedy. Shelley is a former playboy bunny who's just celebrated her 27th birthday. But when Shelley receives a letter from the boss of the playboy mansion(yes folks Hugh Heffner is IN this MOVIE!!)it states that she is too old for playboy and must leave the premise. With nowhere else to go only her old car that's a banger she of course stumbles across a sorority campus. The first campus doesn't want to hear of her while the other place which has Emma Stone,Rumur Willis,Kat Jennings and former winner of American Idol Katherine McPhee in it she of course decides to be their sorority mother.Like in a lot of teen comedies nowadays the girls that Shelley stays with are pretty average geeky chicks and with the help of some make up and hair extensions they turn into real life Barbie dolls(actually one part reminded me of that 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan getting a makeover)and try and do a campaign to stop their sorority house from being taken from them by their other sorority campus ruled by some bitchy chick who wants to sabotage their house the Zeta.Overall this film whose producer is YUP you guessed it Adam Sandler along with his buddy from The Wedding Singer Allen Covert who also produced Hotel Transylvania,this flick is really all not that bad and I think this is Emma Stone's debut movie as I never heard her do any movies in 2004 or 05 or 06. I give this movie a 5.Also starring in this movie is Tom Hanks son Colin Hanks who plays Shelley's love interest.
I don't know what to say. I suppose as soon as I saw that it was Halfwit Productions I should have turned it off, but I was willing to give anything with Emma Stone and Kat Dennings in it a chance. The only real positive thing I have to say is that I like the colour scheme in the house reno. Uuuummmmmm.... yeah, no... that's it.Oh, LOL... I have to have at least ten lines, so... let me see. I must have something else I can say about it. OH, Hefner did a GREAT job! I was most impressed with his acting capabilities. I thought it was nifty that he played himself. And their hair... they had great hair. For the most part. Right. K, that should do it.
