We aren't big movie watchers. We typically wait for highly-anticipated movies to come out on DVD, and we catch lesser anticipated movies when they come to cable.
I am shocked to admit that the funniest movie I have seen in a while is The House Bunny, which is on Encore this month. And it's all because if Anna Faris.
Anna Faris's Shelley is an orphan who spent her formative years at the Playboy mansion. When she finds herself out on the street due to her advancing age, 27- which is like 59 in bunny years- She spends a few nights in her car before she stumbles onto a college campus and eventually gets herself a gig as a house mother for a struggling sororoity, Zeta. Shelley turns Zeta around and there is a happy ending. It's a typical fish out of water story, only the fish is hilarious.
The House Bunny is as good as Clueless and Legally Blonde. In fact, it was written by the Legally Blonde screenwriters. You won't learn anything, except maybe to never, ever stand over a steamy manhole cover a'la Marilyn Monroe. Those things are hot. But you will laugh.
I agree - many giggles in this flick. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
