Overview

Shelley is living a carefree life until a rival gets her tossed out of the Playboy Mansion. With nowhere to go, fate delivers her to the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. Unless they can sign a new pledge class, the seven socially clueless women will lose their house to the scheming girls of Phi Iota Mu. In order to accomplish their goal, they need Shelley to teach them the ways of makeup and men; at the same time, Shelley needs some of what the Zetas have - a sense of individuality. The combination leads all the girls to learn how to stop pretending and start being themselves.

Viewing Notes

I was expecting more of the subversion I’d heard about in a few critics’ reviews in The House Bunny. Unfortunately it’s not what I got. Maybe if I paid more attention but this isn’t the kind of flick that you want to give such focus. I kinda expected this and purposely threw this on to follow up the intensity of Funny Games. Anna Faris looked damn good. I had a hard time buying the quick turnaround via makeover of the nerd girl sorority despite it being a fantasy comedy. Not terrible but not great.
