The House Bunny (2008)
Directed by Fred Wolf
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.

What critics compared The House Bunny to
The notion of making a college-set comedy that tackles patriarchal norms among students sounds intriguing until one realizes that this film is even less progressive than such similar efforts as 2007's Sydney White and 2008's The House Bunny.
Cinematography by Shelly Johnson (2008's " The House Bunny ") is sure to make a bold impression when the picture comes to high-def Blu-ray, marrying the 1940s with futuristic flourishes; an early sequence set at the World Exposition of Tomorrow is like an unforgettable trip to Epcot.
Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions has finally given up on crafting starring vehicles for non-starting, never-meant-to-be-above-the-title types as David Spade and Rob Schneider and started to back true talent with real potential: first Anna Faris, with her first major non- Scary starring role as The House Bunny ; and now Kevin James.
