    Synopsis

    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.

      Los Angeles Times

      Among the sunnier, funnier films of the year, thanks largely to the zest with which Faris embodies a mental vacuum.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Silly but endearing comedy.

      L.A. Weekly

      The movie is basically on one level and Faris on another -- in that exclusive aerie occupied by Judy Holliday, Carole Lombard, Lucille Ball and a few other blissfully original comedy goddesses.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Manages to stand on its own two skyscraper heels thanks to the comic force of nature that is Anna Faris.

      Variety

      A blissfully broad comedy that should catapult Anna Faris into a singular kind of stardom.

      USA Today

      Bunny is fashioned as a bawdy comedy with heart, but its reliance on formula undercuts the amusing moments.

      Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      It's funny. Dumb, yes, but funny.

      Philadelphia Inquirer

      Despite a winning performance by Anna Faris, the cutest thing in platform shoes since Goldie Hawn, the film falls on its keister so many times that before long the perky pinkness turns bruising black-and-blue.
