The Government should extend social re-integration programs for other categories, too, as there probably are several categories of people that haven’t been taken into consideration.

This was the first thing that has struck me when seeing “House Bunny.” We have been aware of the fact that former inmates can hardly socially re-integrate after they had served their term, but who would have thought that former Playboy bunnies are faced with the same deadlock?

“House Bunny” focuses on Shelley Darlingson (Anna Faris), a former Playboy Bunny exiled from the lush and hush-hush Playboy mansion. After celebrating her 27th anniversary, she gets kicked out in the mundane world, with no place to go and nothing to do. Apparently, 27 years are the equivalent of 59 bunny years. Therefore, she was too old for the job.

But in the real world, Shelley is still young, hot and popular. In order to escape the deadlock she faces, she becomes house mother to the Zeta Alpha Zeta college sorority. But her little tribe consists of underdogs, girls that have been marginalized by the others. The girls daydream about dates with boys whom they love, but have never spoken to, eyeliners appear to them as objects from outer space, and what to say about the un-existing parties?  This is why Shelley sets her mind to make them popular.

The protagonist is impeccably played by Faris, a funny hottie whom we’ve seen in “Scary Movie,” “Brokeback Mountain,” “Lost in Translation” or “Smiley Face.” Her character is not stupid, she’s more like the heroine in “Legally Blonde.” What she lacks in knowledge can be translated into naivety, adding some sweetness to it. She is cute equally for boys and girls. Her vocabulary limitations will engender only “oh she’s so adorable” laughs, not mean grins. And that’s all “House Bunny” is all about. Everyone should be happy, whatever they are.

“My heart is pounding like a nail,” she says after meeting a boy she likes. She is delighted when people characterize her as “vapid,” the word probably conveying her some sensation of sophistication. But she’s a sweet heart. Shelley makes her girls - Natalie (Emma Stone), Mona (Kat Dennings), the brace-bound Joanne (Rumer Willis) and pregnant Harmony (beautiful Katharine McPhee) so popular that the representatives of nearby Phi Iota Mu house want a riot.      

It would be difficult to call “House Bunny” an original flick, as it respects all the formulaic plots we know. But its characters are so genuinely taken from the real world and the denouement is so pleasing that you’ll realize you’ve been continuously smiling God knows for how long.
