Remember the actress who always plays the dumb blonde in the “Scary Movie” movies? She’s Anna Faris, who surprised us with her performance as the lead Playboy Bunny Shelley Darlington in “The House Bunny.” Also starring Katharine McPhee or American Idol fame, Emma Stone (Superbad 2007), Rumer Willis (Demi Moore & Bruce Willis’ daughter) and Kat Dennings (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist 2008) and also playboy’s king Hugh M. Hefner as himself.

Directed by Fred Wolf from a screenplay by the writers of “Legally Blonde,” Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, “House Bunny” puts a cheerful spin on its many clichés. This particular wheel hasn’t been reinvented, but at least it gets a nice fresh coat of bubblegum-pink paint and a star to pilot it with aplomb.

The premise of the movie goes like this:

“Shelley Darlington has lived at the Playboy mansion for the last nine years. She is Hef’s favorite and acts like a den mother to the other girls. On her birthday, she is unceremoniously evicted from Hef’s pad for ‘being too old.’ Homeless and without essential skills, Shelley wanders around L.A. until she finds a new job–the housemother and got rejected from the requisite house full of class-obsessed brats, Shelley falls in with the obligatory clutch of “ugly girls,” a ragtag tribe of crypto-lesbians, semi-midgets, clueless nerds and sarcastic anarchists, at the most unpopular sorority on campus.. OMG, no wonder Zeta Alpha Zeta is about to be closed down for lack of pledges and heinous crimes against footwear. Makeover time! And ladies, don’t forget, “The eyes are the nipples of the face.”

So what are you waiting for go check out “House Bunny” yourself and laugh your assoff…
