The House Bunny is the worst movie I have ever seen. It is also the most entertaining experience I have had in a long time.
This film is a holy grail for that part of the population that enjoys watching movies in groups, primarily for the purpose of a shared comedy experience.
The film sees Anna Faris as a Playboy Bunny who is kicked out of her home - the Playboy Mansion. Faced with homelessness and possessing no life skills whatsoever, she heads to a sorority house for no other reason than its passing resemblance to her former abode.
She ends up getting a job as a house mother for Zeta, the lamest sorority on campus, and tries to turn around the fortunes of the nerdy, unpopular freaks therein.
Throughout the story, she teaches the girls to be sexy and popular, and they teach her that there's more to life than getting your tits out in a magazine.
The film wants to tell you that you should be yourself, but gets confused and ends up telling women that if you're not at least a little attractive you'll never get anywhere.
This movie is awful. Truly awful. It's made all the worse by a few brief moments that are genuinely funny, that remind you how crap the rest of it is. But the film burrows so deeply into the continent of awfulness that its feces-laden head pokes out of the ground in Awesomevania, on the other side of the globe.
The first 20 minutes made me want to die, as we're given no reason to care about the main character. The other characters are 2D cutouts and the nerdy/freaky/misfit Zeta girls are pure examples of stereotypes over characters.
All of the other characters are worthless.
There are a few laugh-out-loud moments, mainly when the movie frees itself to head into pure farce, but the plot is threadbare and any time spent on it is wasted.
But the bits that aren't funny are funny because they're so unfunny.
This movie is highly recommended for groups of people seeking something to laugh at. All others should avoid.

Do you get to see boobs?
I remember going to see "Legally Blonde" with Sara and thinking how much I would hate it. But tragically, I loved it, and though it makes me question my right to make fun of anything, every again, I even went so far as to acquire a copy of it to re-watch at my leisure.
This could be another one of those films, so I think I'll skip it. -_-'
