The new trailer for the upcoming late-summer comedy “House Bunny” has been released and it makes the movie look like a less intelligent version of “Legally Blonde,” (not that it had that much intelligence to spare to begin with).
Even though the flick’s quality looks just a slight notch above the Paris Hilton vehicle no one saw, “Pledge This,” it could be possible for its large group of charming actresses to overcome the lack of IQ in the script. The movie boast Anna Faris in the lead role, who had a history of turning in hilarious performances in sub-par movies (see “Smiley Face”; and few in decent movies). Lets face it, it looks slightly retarded, but a good majority of young female Hollywood has turned out for this one, including the endearing Emma Stone (fresh off a wonderful performance in “Superbad”) the goth-pretty Kat Dennings who played Robert Downey Jr.’s troubled daughter in “Charlie Barlett”, American Idols runner-up Katherine McPhee and the gravely voiced, kind of old-sexy Beverly D’Angelo. Not to mention the possible appearance of Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks respective offspring.
Expect the movie to be filled with the twisted theme of “we used to be smart, and unable to contribute to society, but now we are pretty and can catch the attention of B-rate frat boys so we feel fulfilled.”
Though the trailer conveys stupidity and shallowness, so did “Iron Man”, and it was able to hide its large plot holes and moments of cheesy dialogue with good and interesting acting. All we can do is wait until August 22nd to make the final judgment, but in the meantime don’t get your hopes up.
