Pale, weird-looking girls magically turn into hotties with the wiggle of Faris's bunny tail. Sure, that's expected from a story that's a combination of "Mean Girls" and last year's bomb "Sydney White."

The only redeeming factor to the movie is the masterful delivery that Faris pulls off. Her character is nothing new, but her impersonation of Hugh Hefner's girlfriend Bridget is apparent. Fans of "The Girl's Next Door" will enjoy the impersonation, but sigh at the horrible acting displayed by the real-life Hefner and his trio of blondes. If nothing else it proves that at least the gem of their reality show is unscripted.

The sorority girls are only partially convincing in their uglier, nerdier roles. With the likes of Rumer Willis (the offspring of Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher's wife), Katherine McPhee (of "American Idol" fame), Kat Dennings (the love interest from "Charlie Bartlett"), and Emma Stone (of "Superbad"), it's not surprising.

Colin Hanks surprisingly stars as the beau that Faris is hoping to catch the heart of. Hanks invokes memories of his dad by taking these straight man roles, but he is firmly stuck in these B-list movies despite having the skills for more.

The story is typical and trite. If nothing else, you can take advantage of the "Happy Madison" production by trying to count all of Adam Sandler's friends who make cameos. It's time for Faris to break out of the "Scary Movie" shell and get a real comedy without the slapstick goofiness that she is stuck in.

"The House Bunny" is rated PG-13 and is playing at Regal Movieland 7, Regal Santiam 11, and Independence Cinema.
