When a busty blonde, Shelley (Anna Faris), is evicted from Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion for being too old (27), she ends up becoming a house mother to a sorority of college misfits, who are about to be evicted from their house for lack of popularity. But sweet, upbeat Shelley teaches these clueless outcasts how to get in touch with their inner Playboy bunny and become cute, sexy man-pleasing babes. Euuch. The screenplay, by Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah Lutz, takes pretty much the same format as their hit film Legally Blonde: bimbo with heart of gold triumphs over snobbery and stereotypes. It’s a standard teen-frat film, but from a female point of view. Frankly, this is one unfunny, vapid bunny I’d like to boil.
