Jul 17 2008How Far Can You Make It Through 'The House Bunny' International Trailer?
I'm not one to let national boundaries keep me from movies about girls learning they can be smart, sexy, and obnoxiously kooky, so here's the international trailer for The House Bunny, the high-concept comedy in which Anna Faris plays a Cameron Diaz-like Playboy bunny who has to live in a nerdy sorority house.
How far can you make it through before completely giving up on this thing? I made it to the part where the cop asks The House Bunny to blow into a breathalizer, but she misunderstands the phrase "blow into this" and provides him with oral sex. That's not a thing that's allowed to happen in a real movie.

Nice to see Dan Patrick getting work. Think he's getting typecast.

I tried but I couldn't make it past that scene either. It's insulting to all sentient life.

48 seconds!

I think the line: "The eyes are the nipples of the face" was WAY worse...

I watched it the whole way through but that is cuz my work comp sound card is gone. I just invented my own dialogue.
It was funny that way...
I'd still tag Farris though...Gods would I

I find this movie to be so garbage, sexist and offensive to women. I'm a female screenwriter, and this is the last thing I'd want to see.
Yuck.

the movie looks horrible. stupid movies are in right now. we all like stupid parts...but i can't take a whole movie of stupid. will ferrell started this crap and it hasn't stopped. the last scene in the trailer was funny though

The horrible thing is, this movie was never going to be a masterpiece, but it didn't need to be *that* horribly tasteless....

I gave up when she fell over the goddamned table. Faris is better than that. Then I gave up again when I saw Tom Hanks' kid. He isn't needed anywhere.

...i made it all the way through.
and now my eyes are burning.
....and i'm fairly certain that about half my brain cells died.

I made it halfway through before I came.
Was that your question?
12. Amazing - July 17, 2008 7:21 PM
What are you, gay? That movie looks great!
13. leng - July 17, 2008 8:05 PM
I just feel a little strange that someone is keeping saying some celebrities and rich men joined the famous affairs site ★ ★★ww w.S u g a r d a d d y C o n n e c t. c o m★ ★★.. Did you notice that? absolutely a rumor!

lol @ #11
Dudes, Anna Faris! I will be seeing this movie, probably for free, but I'll be seeing it.

I think it looks funny. If you are a chick and offended by it, you need to have some sex and lighten up. By the way, whats the difference between a screenwriter and a "female screenwriter"? You only write movies about vaginas?
People take themselves waaaay too seriously.
16. Pluto - July 17, 2008 9:55 PM
I made it 13 seconds.
Anymore than that, and you should KILL yourself.
yeah, not joking.
17. HALL-E - July 17, 2008 9:55 PM
I'm not going to lie, I will see this because 1) Anna Farris is in it and she is hilarious and 2) it almost certainly has a totally different and less offensive plot; they always cut trailers to make movies look infinitely more retarded then they actually are. However I will say that its a good thing the "hideous" girls in the "loser" sorority are all, you know, tall, thin and hot as balls already. That probably makes the Bunny's job a lot easier.
Also, I don't see how a girl getting laid would both make her "lighten up" and make this movie funnier, John B, but I'm very, very interested in exploring that as an option
18. Snack Rabbit - July 17, 2008 11:08 PM
I love Anna Farris to death, but I'm passing on this like I passed on the Hot Chick.
If you want to see Anna in a pretty good kooky role, check out the movie May. But be warned, it's a pretty disturbing horror movie.
19. Holy Crap! - July 17, 2008 11:44 PM
3 seconds left, I called it a day.

"If you are a chick and offended by it, you need to have some sex and lighten up"
what a typical, boring response from a typical stupid male.
21. sir colin of hunt - July 18, 2008 12:52 PM
Looks like absolute trash, but I'll watch it... though only the shots with Anna Faris in them and with sound muted. That low growling speech made me wanna puke.
22. Stuey - July 18, 2008 1:14 PM
@20, go ahead and waste your life worrying about other people and not your own happiness. the only way to live is live a life without regret and worrying about what others do. If its sexist to you, don't watch it. don't act like women aren't sexist either. I know men and women sexists and whores.
But I do agree with the post that asked whats the difference between a screenwriter and a femal screenwriter. Are you one of those people who says they aren't racist and prove it by naming how many black friends you have?
Seriously, life is too short to be so uptight.
23. Stuey - July 18, 2008 1:15 PM
p.s. I will go see it because it is supposed to be a silly movie with crude jokes. Just like there are Oscar worthy movies and horror movies and historical movies. It's called ENTERTAINMENT.
Plus I love Anna
24. e. - July 18, 2008 4:24 PM
so 27 is too old to be a bunny but not too old to be in college?
25. paw! - July 18, 2008 10:09 PM
crotch-tastic. i will be seeing this gem.
26. Ben - July 18, 2008 11:31 PM
What's with her voice? It seems to oscillate from soft to deep and scratchy. Meh.. who's going to see it?
27. Tammy - July 19, 2008 8:40 PM
Did she get her lips done? They look wrong to me. Yet again another beautiful woman who feels the need to have work done when she doesn't need it. I'll wait for video.
28. whathisface? - July 21, 2008 10:26 AM
THIS MOVIE LOOKS FUCKING GREAT, YOU STUPID WHORES!

@ Broomstick Crazy Girl
You're a female screenwriter? Good for you. I guess that means we should take your opinion far more seriously than the next person's. I shit more than the average person, so you should all listen to what I have to say about shitting or toilets.. maybe the odd diarrhea. I'm an expert after all. In fact, I could say that I'm a doctor of psychology and modern human studies. Chances are I'm lying, chances are you're not. But screenwriters are a dime a dozen.
Besides, what difference does it make whether you're female or male in regards to this movie being garbage/ offensive/ sexist or not? This movie doesn't do any more or less than most media outlets in society today. Does that make it right to do so? Probably not, but this isn't the first (and won't be the last) movie to paint females in a negative light in some people's eyes. Many movies make the typical dad a putz or the average husband a cheater. Maybe it's more of a reflection on society than people would like to admit to. A lot of guys are douche bags and that is represented greatly on the screen. Should they be offended?
I for one enjoy comedy and most of the time comedy is made at the expense of others. I don't agree that you need to get laid and lighten up but how about finding a better outlet for your cause other than some website called 'I Watch Stuff. ' What did you expect?

@Dr., Broomstick Crazy Girl
tl;dr. Internet: Serious business.
Seriously though, I watched the whole thing, mouth agape in horror. It was like a slow moving car accident, I couldn't look away.

I think the point to this movie, which you don't get from the trailer is she tries to tart those girls up so they can get guys but she learns along the way guys want something deeper, less shallow.
For once a film where the woman is the one learning about the opposite sex and the guys aren't knuckle dragging sex obsessed brain-dead morons like we are usually subjected to. I find the incredibly sexist as well as the dad being an idiot, the cheating husband, the loser guy who knows nothing about women, the way all guys are jerks.
It does not reflect real life and is far too one sided to find funny. At least this is readdressing the issue and leads far more to equality than you proclaiming yourself a "female" scriptwriter.
Do you think that makes you better than a "male" scriptwriter?
It might give you more of an incite into the female characters you write but from your attitude absolutely none when it comes to your male characters.
They are probably all the typical negative stereotypes I mentioned before.
Those that think they know it all usually know the least.

Was anyone else reminded of Britney Spears? Why didn't they cast her?
