It's pretty fun.

This was one that really surprised me. I remember when it came out and was in a lot of "bad movies of the year" lists. I had never planned on watching it until it came up on TV and I just let it run. I am a red blooded American man and the posters of Anna Faris in this role and dress were VERY interesting. I admit it, I watched it for Anna, but thought that the story and the acting was very good. I bought the DVD and enjoy it for some "guilty pleasure".

reply

Eh, it was all right.

I don't even think it's stupid. It's not book smart but Shelley has street smarts in spades.

Would You like to know more?

The problem is that the screenplay is literally a '90s reject.

This guy spells it out: https://www.gmorris.co.uk/post/the-house-bunny-a-90s-script-locked-away-for-a-decade

reply

that actually explains why it does feel like a film slightly out of step with its era.

i still think it's a legitimately fun, silly movie. not a classic or anything, but it's goofy & goes down very easily & i'm happy to watch it every few years whenever the mood strikes.

I JUST READ ANNA FARIS' BOOK...SHE IS VERY PROUD OF THE FILM.

reply

she is enormously appealing & seems like she'd be a really cool person.

have you seen 'smiley face?' i absolutely loved it. i'm betting you really dig it too.

reply

DAMMIT...SHE TALKED IT UP A LOT IN THE BOOK AND I WAS INTRIGUED...NOW YOU...I HAVE TO SEE THIS FLICK NOW!

reply

it's streaming for free on tubitv - i know you're allergic to streaming, but you just have to sit through a few ads.

i think you'll love it.

(smoking something before watching might help).

The script's lack of references to the internet is the biggest giveaway. Even Superbad referenced MySpace.
