I LOVE Anna Faris!  I think she is hilarious, and was excited to see that she was playing the lead role in a movie.  So of course, I got my friends together and we did the girls night out thing. The movie was cute, and to my surprise had Rumor Willis and Catherine McFee (American Idol) in it!  That was a nice surprise. 

Anna Faris is an ex orphan that has only really fit in at the Playboy mansion as one of Heff's girls.  When she's kicked out for being too old (27) she doesn't know what to do with her life, or where to go to fit in. She becomes the housemother to a not so popular sorority house.  In order to help bring in more pledges, she turns all the dorky girls in the house into hotties.  What I didn't like is that there was no adjustment time for these girls.  One minutes they're total geeks and the next minute, they're instantly hot and know how to socialize, etc.  And Anna Faris throws a hella wicked party, and the entire time I kept wondering, "Who's paying for this thing?"  Everything just kind of 'magically happens' in this movie with no explanation.

Watching Anna Faris try to learn how life really works when you can't use just your body to get you places, was fun.  There were some cute lines, and awkward moments that make you laugh.  But all in all, I didn't think the movie was that great.

Although this movie really is a chick flick, I still think guys wouldn't mind sitting through it.  Afterall, there are hot girls everywhere and peaks inside the Playboy mansion.  The men inside the theater I was at were laughing outloud at the jokes, and awkwardness of the women just as much as we were.

I also did the movie as a girls night out but we did a matinee so there wasn't but five people in the theater. If I remember one thing from the movie it will be the following quote: "How 'bout we take a long walk on a short pier?" Something to that effect--it was too funny and I'll use it as sarcasm with someone soon and they will wonder how I came up with that.
