  • Starring: Anna Faris
  • Summary: 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. (Sony Pictures) Expand

    Among the sunnier, funnier films of the year, thanks largely to the zest with which Faris embodies a mental vacuum.

    Silly but endearing comedy.

    The movie also has some embarrassing laugh-free stretches, but Faris holds everything together with bubbly intelligence, unexpected line readings, and a few deft pratfalls.
  4. Yes, from "Blonde" to "Bunny," it's abundantly evident that the two scribes have mastered, truly mastered, the serious art of self-plagiarism.

    This movie was absolutely hysterical. Anna's character was very funny, and it was consistent throughout the entire movie. It is by far the funniest movie of 2008, in my opinion. I would've prefered tohave the character Carrie May shown a little bit more than she was, as she was insanely funny during the parts she was in. Katharine McPhee probably gets the prize for best performance in the movie. She played her part perfectly, and she definitely has a future in acting. I like how most of the cast was semi- famous actors and actresses, because they are notable, and good, but at the same time, therewasn't really too high of an expectation for the movie. However, I think it was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Expand

  3. Both a failure and a success, it fails at being a good comedy or movie, but succeeds in getting it's point across, that looks aren't everything and that everyone is beautiful on the inside, but for most of the movie you stuck suffering through unfunny and boring moments, however it does have one or two absolutely hilarious parts, and I like I said it has a sweet message, but it's not worth slogging through the movie, and it's I honestly can't recommend this, and as a huge Happy Madison productions fan I'm really disappointed, so unless you just have to watch everything Happy Madison makes you can safely pass on this one.

    Terrible disappointment. Could have been very cute, but mishandled and badly written so it ended up a mess. Don't waste your money.
