When House Bunny came out in theaters, I was only slightly interested in seeing it eventually. My interest wasn't great enough to warrant heading to the theater and forking over cash. Not that long ago, I spotted the DVD fairly cheap and I almost picked it up, but something stopped me. Now that I've seen the movie, thanks to one of the Encore channels I get, I'm very glad I didn't give into the momentary urge to get the DVD.
The plot has a tiny bit of potential that quickly goes no where fast while Anna Faris prances around barely dressed most of the time. She does get naked at one point, though she is only shown from behind. The role does show off a sexier side of Faris. Sexual remarks are made and a few things shown are very suggestive, but there aren't any actual sex scenes. Faris's character is sort of likable, but she is so stupid that she becomes irritating. The jokes fall flat most of the time and things just aren't that entertaining or interesting. I was watching the clock waiting for it to end.
House Bunny isn't the worst movie I've seen, but it is far from the best. Fans of Anna Faris may find something to enjoy about the movie, but I wouldn't count on it. The movie is available to rent and own on DVD and Blu-ray. It has been turning up on the Encore movie channels and it could be an On Demand option with some cable and satellite providers.
I did post a longer review of House Bunny on Epinions.
