(1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 41% Rotten Page   1   "While Anna Faris looks gorgeous and nails her "dumb blonde with a heart of gold" persona in most scenes, the rest of 'The House Bunny' hops limply along."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B- "Her [Faris'] charisma and comic timing, coupled with the schizophrenic script by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, makes The House Bunny a recommendable comedy."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark B "Faris is rarity in the industry: a legitimately hilarious performer with a virtuoso sense of timing and screwball articulation."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf D "If dumb alone was funny this comedy would be a scream."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "Like a modern-day Lucille Ball, Anna Faris is a pure and utter natural, brilliant at getting a laugh and just as adept at finding the pathos in the unexpected. This is the brightest comedy so far this year."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B "Offers more actual empowerment and inspiration to young women than the phony Sex and the City or Mamma Mia!, and it's a lot funnier to boot."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "...breezy and banal...hops nowhere particularly interesting. Overall, there's nothing whimsical, fuzzy or provocative about this chosen Bunny."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "[An] on-and-off comedy...as airheaded as its ditzy heroine. But it has a goofily good-natured quality."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "[A] hodgepodge of unfunny, sophomoric humor and PG-13 T&A, frosted by a sheen of appallingly nauseous 'drama.'"   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/10 "If the filmmakers had focused more of their time and energy on having fun with the ditsy bombshell stereotype (where Faris is obviously having a blast portraying that) and left her that way without any unnecessary character growth, this could have been so"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2/5 "The flatness of humor comes from the directing and timing, rather than necessarily the dialogue or actor skill. More than once I thought to myself, "That joke totally could have worked.""   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery C+ "Still, Anna Faris wore a lot of skimpy outfits. And that spoke to me as a viewer."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr "You've heard the term sex bomb. Now hear this: The House Bunny is a nuclear sex bomb, a radioactive weapon deadly to all forms of life..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "If The House Bunny catches on with audiences, it could do for Anna Faris what Legally Blonde did for Reese Witherspoon."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "The screenplay inflicts a little more injury on Faris than it intends to by committing the very sins it half-heartedly attempts to parody."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "A slapdash affair largely lacking in laughs."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "There's a sublimely goofy tone to this profoundly inept film that keeps us smiling from start to finish"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "Anna Faris redeems a lot of it."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C "Acting isn't the problem. The problem is the screenplay and direction."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "... there is really only one surprise: It's funny. Dumb, yes, but funny."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "The House Bunny gets the difference between being openhearted and empty-headed."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 4/10 "Anna Faris gives one of the best performances of the year thus far in a movie that never comes within swiping distance of deserving it."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 41% Rotten Page   1
