I've said it before and I'll say it again, Anna Faris (Smiley Face; Southern Belles) is the most underrated comic actress in film today. In a world of male-driven comedies, Anna Faris has become the Carole Lombard and Judy Holliday of our times. Her delightfully funny performance is reason enough to see The House Bunny, a 2008 romantic comedy film written by Legally Blonde screenwriters, Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah Lutz, and produced by Adam Sandler's production company. Faris plays Shelley Darlington, a wide-eyed, clueless twenty-seven-year-old Playboy bunny, who gets banned from Hef's Playboy mansion due to her age (she is "59 in bunny years"). She then becomes the house mother of the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority, and sets out to help the Zetas discover their inner bunnies, much to the ire of rival sorority, Phi Iota Mu. (This movie should have been subtitled, "The Blonde Leading the Blondes.") Ultimately, Shelly is forced to choose between a dream centerfold shoot and the family that needs her the most. Is this movie silly? No, it's frickin' hilarious. Is it predictable? Well, yes. Will it offend feminists? All of my feminist friends couldn't believe that I would "waste" my time on such a movie. However, in response to the film's feminist critics, it should be noted that after catching the eye of Oliver (Tom Hank's son, Colin Hanks), Shelly not only realizes that it takes more than her sexy Bunny ways to succeed in life, but also that her Bunny lessons have transformed the Zetas into very superficial women. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a laugh. This was one of the funniest films of 2008.
