58. The House Bunny (dir. Fred Wolf, USA, 2008)
A Playboy Bunny (Anna Faris) leaves the Mansion and ends up as the House Mother of a sorority of losers at an unnamed college.
This film is enormous fun. The jokes are mostly very funny, story is silly and cookie-cutter but still engaging. The centre of the film is Faris’s wonderful turn as Shelley, whose unfailing kindness and eagerness to please is so winning. Adorable in the extreme. In its desire to give the outsiders a caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation the film does stretch a bit thin by asking its audience not to realise that Emma Stone and Kat Dennings couldn’t be ugly if they tried. Occasionally jokes miss and are excruciating, but rarely.
Verdict: philanthropic - hilarious
