Movie Trailer - Anna Faris is 'The House Bunny'
Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 11:00PM
Stupid title, granted, but Anna Faris portraying a dimwitted Playboy Bunny is just about perfect casting. Not that Faris is dumb or anything, but she's always played it pretty well, in everything from Lost in Translation (where I believe she's supposed to be impersonating Cameron Diaz) to the Scary Movie series and from Just Friends to, of all things, Brokeback Mountain.
Comedy's tough, no question, and especially since the world of movie comedies has really suffered over the last five years or so, with maybe two great ones a year, the fact that Faris can always do pretty good work is an achievement.
She's sexing it up a little here in The House Bunny, as a Playmate kicked out of Hef's mansion because she's too old. So, at 27 and desperate for a place to live, she becomes the house mother for a sorority.
Did anyone else notice American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee in that sorority? Anyway, remember what I said about the sad state of comedy...
The House Bunny opens during the dead zone, on August 22nd.
