The House Bunny

[Sycophant]

I'm not even going to post a trailer for this movie. I'm looking forward to this coming to theaters, so I can go the multiplex without fear of seeing the trailer again. It's an awful trailer. And it looks like an awful movie. While I'm no reverential admirer of Hugh Hefner, I'm still upset with what appears to be an implicit endorsement of this movie.

Eff.

It has one of the hottest actresses of our generation playing a Playboy bunny, therefore it cannot be awful.

This thread is made of fail.

[Sycophant]

A) It has one of the hottest actresses of our generation playing a Playboy bunny,
B) therefore it cannot be awful.
Statement A I will happily agree with, as it is clearly based on fact.

Statement B does not seem to logically follow.

Besides, it's only rated PG-13. Unless the ears really do that much for you, the whole Playboy bunny angle seems a bit whatever.

You win.

[Watashi]

It doesn't look that bad.

I adore Anna Faris, so I am willing to see it. Her dumb blonde character is awfully similar to her stoned blonde character in Smiley Face though.

Or in just about everything she's ever done.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I'm just waiting for Anna Faris to pick a movie that is actually good. Please...

anna faris is the only reason i want to see this, but the trailers sure are making it hard for me to actually go see it

[Silencio]

No one can play dumb quite like Faris but the movie doesn't look very good, unfortunately.

The way the trailer/TV spot suggests that the "geeky" girls turning into Paris Hilton look-a-likes is a positive transformation is really troubling. I'm guessing the film itself will have some sort of "we should all just learn to be ourselves" message thrown in somewhere, but the marketing is still pretty sickening.

[Henry Gale]

She was so hot before she had her lips and whatever else done. It's really distracting. I first noticed it when I saw a clip of her on Entourage, and had I only seen her like that in the House Bunny trailer I would have thought it was just something they did for the movie. But it looks she's sporting them everywhere, unless her face has... normalized since.

Oh well.

Not happy with Smiley Face? I loved it and her manic performance.

Or May. Can't go wrong with May.

May is great, but she's not the main role in it. She's finally starting to get a few, but, like Smiley Face, the movies suck.

You suck my dick, friend-o.

Bingo.

This film has too many talented actresses for such a dumbly put together movie. The movie was on the edge of being satire, but just didn't know it, and went with a message instead.

Anna Faris, Kat Dennings, Emma Stone, and Rumer Willis are all capable of comedy. There are a few spots that are actually laugh-worthy. But still...

Shoulda strived for an R rating.

[Spinal]

Watched it last night. It was about what I expected. No more, no less. The writing could have been a lot better, but Faris still finds ways to get consistent laughs. It kind of awkwardly embraces its identity as a sweet mainstream comedy, when deep down, it seems like it should really be a little more ruder, a little more outrageous. Still, pleasant enough entertainment if you are a fan of the lead actress and have modest expectations.
