The House Bunny

I finally saw the movie and I have to ask "what was all the fuss about?" It was really just harmless and I think ZTA HQ overly dramatised the situation... Even with Phi Iota Mu being the villains, I really saw no harm. Have you seen the movie? What do you guys think?

I haven't seen it yet. Was Beverly D'Angelo everything I hoped she'd be?

She played the part perfectly! Total snob!

Just gave my review to the (non-greek) boy: cheesy, not at all true to reality, but it won't be too terrible by the time it gets to the cheap theatres. Their colors weren't the same, and Beverly D'Angelo looked the worst that I've ever seen her. Nothing to get anyone's panties in a wad over - at all!

I was really hoping that it would have some Animal House allure, but was sadly disappointed in that thought.

I just saw it and thought that it was okay & not particularly harmful to sorority life. I didn't really see a Zeta Tau Alpha and Zeta Alpha Zeta similarity. The Zeta letters on the front of the house were kind of a teal'y blue (which is also a ZTA colour) and that was about it. The mean, bitchy sorority house on campus was called "Phi Iota Mu", so I suppose Phi Mu could make a case that that was a bit close to their letters and they don't like the way in which it's represented.

Anyhow, it was a pretty good movie. In the end, the message was essentially, "be yourself, but be your best self" (whereas in GREASE, which is another extremely popular movie and musical, Sandy completely sells out in the end).

There were a few inaccuracies, like them mailing out the bid cards, and in the end, one girl from Phi Iota Mu wants to join Zeta Alpha Zeta (and of course, you can't really do that if you've already initiated in NPC land...and I'm sure locals would not look that kindly upon it either) and then of course, the Aztec party with alcohol served at a sorority house (hello, Risk Management). But that's me just over analyzing it and it is just a movie!

P.S. Beverly D'Angelo was great...so awesome as the House Mother of the Phi Iota Mu.

I went out and saw this over the weekend with my girlfriend. First of all, I was really impressed with the staging of real live Playboy Bunnies at the mansion. I'm glad that the real Hef played himself in the movie. Secondly, Anna Faris was hot. I wouldn't have gone to go watch this movie at the theater with my girlfriend if it weren't for Anna. She played the role really cool and I thought her way of remembering people's names was cute. It reminded me of someone I dated in the past. What really sucked was being one of 4 guys in the theater with a room full of adolescent girls being noisy the whole time. Other than that I had a good time.

Cheers,

Just saw it. Gf rented it !

Anywho, Anna Farris is ok, but not hot. I had a hard time believing her as someone that has been in Playboy.

I thought having Hef and the girls (Bridgett, Kendra, Holly) in it playing themselves was greatness.

That leader of Phi Iota Mu pissed me off. I wanted one of the girls to punch her in the throat.

Rumor Willis is growing up. .... Looking good.... (in my best Wooderson voice).

As is that Kat Dennings. What a hawt.

The dudes in the movie were all dorks. Lead waiter guy at the mansion, Tom Hanks' son, and that guy the red head lusted over.

BF was so kind enough to rent it for me. AND HE WATCHED IT!

I laughed a lot with this movie. I thought all the "controversy" before it premiered was a load of crap and now that I've finally seen it, I think the "controversy" is a bigger load of crap. I kinda liked it.

Her method of remembering names is HILARIOUS!
