Review: The House Bunny

“The eyes are the nipples of the face.”

This film is worth your time. The best blonde movie of the year, I already watched it twice!

Let me just say that I’m a guy, It is basically an Adam Sandler movie for girls, with Anna Faris breathing life into an otherwise flat movie with her uncanny comic ability and unbeatable charm. In short, she makes the movie watchable, and in some moments, likable and entertaining.

I see this film as one that most will easily dismiss without a second look, and I really discourage you from doing that. Anna Faris alone deserves your attention in this movie, as she is brilliant. She’s lovable, adorable, intelligently stupid, and of course, roll on the floor hilarious. She’s the reason the Scary Movie series is so much ‘better’ than the other movies in that series (Date, Superhero, Epic Movies), and her charm and charisma carries over here.

In addition to Faris, the strength of the film is the supporting cast (except Hugh Hefner, who gets a pass for simply being Hugh Hefner). The funny thing is, most of the performers aren’t even actors. I’m not going to lie and say Rumer Willis is brilliant, because she’s not, but she’s funny and is good looking enough to surprise us. Katharine McPhee doesn’t get enough screen time, but she does do a great job with what she’s given. The last of the ‘non-actors’ is the frontman for The All American Rejects, Tyson Ritter, who is tolerable in a bit part.

Now, unsurprisingly, the best supporters are Kat Dennings and the WONDERFUL Emma Stone (Jules from Superbad). Stone is so likable and adorable that she’s the best character in the movie after Faris. Colin Hanks is…well, I for one was surprised that he did this movie, but he was an asset nonetheless.

All in all, The House Bunny is surprisingly funny, all because of Anna Faris and Emma Stone, both of whom have very bright futures ahead of them. Faris is definitely one of the funniest ladies alive.

This Bunny is funny and will please fans of light, silly comedy and romance، Rates 4.6/5 on my scale!

P.S. The subtitled version we have here in Amman is from Tetraspot, Lebanon with huge sized fonts for subtitles but it is uncut.
