It is all so cheesy, The Sneak almost felt like not wanting to be a film critic anymore.

Reviews for The House Bunny
While The House Bunny is sure to appeal more to the female demographic, at least the guys who get dragged into watching this particular chick flick by their dates can feel solace in knowing that it could be a whole lot worse.
08/22/08
Fairly predictable
09/26/08
It's a movie that wastes the talents of up-and-comers (Emma Stone from Superbad), rising stars (the sublimely funny -- in other movies -- Anna Faris) and talented vets (Beverly D'Angelo, looking like she wishes she were anywhere else) alike.
08/21/08
a mixed message designed to sell what it purports to subvert, also known as having it both ways
08/31/08
One could be forgiven for thinking that the American college system is merely one big popularity contest. Certainly, no one does anything outrageous like read a book.
10/10/08
The House Bunny stays simplistic just like Legally Blonde. Anna Faris deserves better.
08/27/08
What else can you say about a movie when Christopher McDonald counting to 30 is the funniest thing that happens in it?
08/20/08
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.
08/23/08
Not funny, not sexy, not even obnoxious enough to get anyone worked up, The House Bunny truly establishes a new low water mark for 2008 cinema.
12/14/08
Faris's Marilyn Monroe-inspired breathy delivery feels forced and gets old fast. Only the scene-stealing Emma Stone shows any promise.
09/27/08
Despite a winning performance by Anna Faris, the film falls on its keister so many times that before long the perky pinkness turns bruising black-and-blue.
08/21/08
Top CriticI laughed about a dozen times during The House Bunny, always because of Anna Faris. I cringed at The House Bunny about 50 times, always because of everything else.
08/22/08
God bless Anna Faris, who’s so good that the second star at the bottom of this review is entirely down to her. Otherwise, this Bunny would be headed for the vet.
10/10/08
The unstoppable Anna Faris has perk in her pipes and a pep in her step, but a bum script working at every turn to tear her down. That's a shame, because with the right material, Faris could do very well, indeed.
08/26/08
Depressingly for a film written by two women, it's relentlessly sexist in its insistence that, in order to attract men, women must appear brainless and dress like a hooker.
10/10/08
By imposing a predictable message, it obscures the satire.
08/21/08
In The House Bunny, Anna Faris steps up to her first full-fledged leading role and falls right on her adorable face.
08/22/08
Every banality is trotted out right on cue, from the makeover montage to the awkward first date, to the usual hoary old moral about being true to yourself, making this one bunny due for the casserole pot.
10/10/08
...it's hard to deny the effectiveness of Anna Faris' energetically go-for-broke performance...
