The House Bunny
We had the time to watch a movie last night after dinner, but instead of making the three plus hour investment The Godfather requires, we picked the much shorter House Bunny. Really, I think Brandon was just happy to be done right at 9:30, in time for his Call of Duty duties.
On to the movie! I am a huge proponent of stupid funny. I don't take it lightly. Dodgeball is one of my very favorite movies of all time. So, I was pretty much down for this movie from moment one. Brandon, on the other hand, isn't really a big fan of the genre, but he thought it was well done for what it was. Anna Faris was so lovably adorable, as was the whole sorority of misfits. I have a weird thing for Rumer Willis - she's off and strange in a way that I find totally irresistible, so I was as pleased as I expected to be with her performance here. We both found the story to be pretty predictable, but we don't mind predictable when it's done in such a charming way. We also really liked the snappy pace - the movie doled out the lessons nice and quickly without pretending that anyone didn't see them coming, the montages and a-ha moments for the characters were constantly flowing. Fun little piece of fluff.
Brandon said he liked it but wouldn't recommend it; I liked it a lot and would absolutely recommend it because I don't think anyone would have overinflated expectations of some sort of cinematic masterpiece watching something like this. If you're in the mood for a cute, silly movie you won't be disappointed.
