Summary
Shelley Darlington (Anna Faris), a Playboy Bunny, teaches an awkward sorority about the opposite sex - only to learn that what boys really like is what's on the inside.

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 Ð a sense of individuality. The combination leads all the girls to learn how to stop pretending and start being themselves.

I've been looking forward to this movie. Would've watched it if only there wasn't a PG-13 restriction, would have to wait until June 2009 to watch PG-13 movies haha.

I'm actually looking forward, now, for the DVD release to come out.

I saw this movie. Lmao. xD

It was okay. I thought it was hilarious when she does that voice that helps her remember people's names.

I thought the casting was really bizarre. o_0

I watched this quite long ago. It's a really typical chick flick movie, with a crisis to solve and sisterhood bonding and all that, but really, it isn't bad.
Anna Faris was rather convincing as a dumb blond, but what I didn't like was how they solved everything in the end.

I loved this film. It was funny and I especially loved the development of the plot. Might be somewhat cliche, but I think it was really well-developed biggrin.gif

And I think Anna was totally convincing as Shelley!

This movie is average in my opinion. I wasn't expecting much either, so I went in calmly, and came out calmly. Hehehe... tried to make the audience laugh but there wasn't much response from the audience in the theater. I guess I am a little bit tired of chick flick after watching so many of them.

Anna Faris played well, pretty much portrayed how a blonde lives. She doesn't look that young as in the film, but she has this youthful aura around her. Most of the Zeta girls looked really good, except that huge-sized one. She was still scary even after her makeover. I really liked Natalie's (I think that's her name?) tranformation; she was the prettiest of all. biggrin.gif

I would not recommend this show highly. It is just an average show with not so renowned actors and actresses.

This movie is good if you just want something easy and entertaining to watch.

I chuckled a few times.

Ahh. I saw this movie just last month. I honestly enjoyed watching this and to think the only reason I gave it a try was because Katharine's one of the cast.

Katharine McPhee somehow managed to exude a certain enticing allure as she played the role of a pregnant woman. infatuated.gif and Anna Farris did a good job as well. worship.gif
