"The House Bunny" is a 2008 comedy film directed by Fred Wolf and starring the hilarious and talented Anna Faris. The movie follows the journey of Shelley Darlingson (Faris), a former Playboy Bunny who finds herself homeless after being kicked out of the Playboy Mansion. While wandering around, she stumbles upon a college campus and decides to take on the job of a house mother for a failing sorority, the Zeta Alpha Zetas.
The sorority is composed of a group of nerdy, socially awkward girls who are unable to attract any decent men, let alone make friends with other sororities. Shelley decides to take on the challenge of transforming the sorority by teaching the girls how to be more confident and sexy, all while maintaining their individuality and personalities.
However, things don't always go as planned, and Shelley must navigate through a series of obstacles to make sure the sorority is recognized on campus and avoid being kicked out of the house. Along the way, she becomes friends with several of the girls, including the shy and kind-hearted Harmony (played by Emma Stone) and the smart and ambitious Natalie (played by Kat Dennings).
Meanwhile, Shelley also finds herself caught in a love triangle between Oliver (played by Colin Hanks), a sweet and somewhat dorky guy who works at the college's library, and Cavanaugh (played by Owen Benjamin), a handsome and egotistical frat boy who doesn't treat her well.
As the sorority's success grows, Shelley realizes that her true passion lies in helping others, and she must decide whether to stay at the sorority or return to the Playboy Mansion.
Overall, "The House Bunny" is a fun and entertaining movie with a heartwarming message about self-acceptance and friendship. Anna Faris shines in her role as Shelley, and the supporting cast delivers solid performances as well. The movie's humor is often cheesy but still manages to elicit genuine laughs, making it a must-watch for fans of comedy films.
