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.

Biggest Swing

The film drops 2.2 points from the successful party sequence to the forced conflict when the sisters turn on Shelley

The House Bunny received mixed but generally lukewarm reception, with critics consistently praising Anna Faris's committed comedic performance while finding the overall film predictable and uneven. The sentiment peaks during the makeover sequences where Faris's natural comedy talents shine, but dips during forced dramatic moments and awkward romantic scenes. Most reviewers acknowledged the film as harmless entertainment elevated by its lead actress, even when the material itself felt clichéd.
