REVIEW:
Critics haven't much good to say about the plot of The House Bunny, but they do have much praise to heap on its star, Anna Faris. Nathan Lee begins his review in the New York Times by proclaiming: "All hail Anna Faris, fake bimbo par excellence, master of the birdbrained double take, our reigning queen of intelligent stupidity." Lou Lumenick in the New York Post begins his by observing: "Perhaps only Anna Faris could make a female-empowerment comedy produced by Adam Sandler tolerable." And in the Toronto Star, Linda Barnard starts off: "The House Bunny pulls a rabbit out of a hat with Anna Faris, whose comic charms -- to say nothing of her physical ones -- work some magic on this otherwise weak effort."
