All it really has to be is funny, and it passes that test with flying colors. This week, Bunny Ware talks through her time at the Savannah Wedding Vendors monthly meetup. But with all that it already is, we can't ask The House Bunny to be everything. Stiller Sommer is not showing in any theaters in the area. And, of course, this being a movie about sorority girls instead of fraternity guys, the story belies all the unapologetic goofiness of its genre by making the plot all about the pursuit of getting flowers - rather than the pursuit of getting laid. The movie also tries to shoehorn in a weird and pointless girl-power message that includes a very awkward music video presented over the closing credits. This isn't a genius script, and when the rest of the cast of sorority sisters are required to carry a scene, they can be a little flat. ![]() Christopher McDonald and Beverly D'Angelo also provide a few glimpses of extremely entertaining silliness as university administrators. Despite playing a toned and tanned pinup, Faris tackles the jokes with such balls-out fearlessness that she leaves no doubt she is not playing for the powder-puff league.Īnd Faris isn't the only good thing about House Bunny up-and-comer Emma Stone does an impressive job of playing a prototypical nerd girl, especially after appearing so convincingly as the ultra-cool sarcasm queen in Superbad. The woman just has killer timing, and an innate comedic talent that makes Reese Witherspoon's turn in Legally Blonde look like just another girly actress keeping safe within the confines of cuteness. ![]() Her performance as Shelley, a despondent former Playboy Bunny-turned-geek-sorority house mother does the classic role of the cheeky dumb blonde one better - or more like ten better. It's not often that a chick holds down the whole central premise of the movie with her mighty and irreproachable comedic chops in the same format as Ferrell in Anchorman or Black in School of Rock, but that's just what the always-hilarious Anna Faris does here. You don't see many ladies showing up routinely to play for the big laughs - sometimes fate shines and we get Amy Poehler in a funny supporting role, but most of the time all we get is some romcom veteran gal playing straight to the boys' wacky hijinks, and maybe providing an old-fashioned screwball romantic foil if we're really lucky. That name probably originated with the 2003 hit Old School, but there's a much more obvious fraternal element with this collective: they're all dudes. Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Steve Carell, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Jack Black - these funnymen have brought such a sense of commonality to comedy that they're collectively known as the Frat Pack. Hollywood is just about full to the brim with heavyweight comedians who mostly make their careers on vehicle movies written just for them to show up and work their schtick. Bub proved so memorable that LAIKA––a company that shares its name with the first dog sent into space––created a special mobile game, 2-Bit Bub, just for him.Awesome, raucous, and totally hilarious, The House Bunny breaks brave new ground by being completely typical.

Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl: Directed by Sôichi Masui. When Coraline dismisses the idea that the Other Mother wants to eat her, Cat responds, “I don’t know. A bit secretive, even mischievous, Cat is nevertheless always there for Coraline, even if her support is sometimes offered with claws out. ![]() Mysteriously appearing out of nowhere, Cat also gains a voice when accompanying Coraline to the Other World. In Coraline, Cat is an elegant, black feline (voiced by Keith David) who joins the intrepid 11-year-old on her many adventures. Ben Stiller stars as a man whos unable to commit to a permanent relationship, until he meets an attractive woman (Malin Akerman) and marries her on a whim. While the pets from LAIKA’s films––the cat in Coraline and Bub the ghost dog in ParaNorman––are stop-motion creatures of the imagination, the love and loyalty they show suggests they were clearly drawn from real memories.
