Critics Consensus

Anna Faris is game, but she can't salvage this middling, formulaic comedy.

The result isn't very funny, and its sexual politics are as muddled as you'd expect, but Faris is sweet and likable as the sort of wise dumbbell Judy Holliday used to play. Go to Full Review
Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 10/10/2008
2/5
This silly comedy has a few decent jokes in its otherwise dim screenplay. However, its parody is as toothless as Hefner probably is by now. Go to Full Review
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) 10/10/2008
3/5
The ending is predictably feel-good - if it takes way too long coming - but the female-penned script keeps you perky with some surprisingly surreal flashes... such as: 'The eyes are like the nipples of the face.' Go to Full Review

It's difficult to determine just how much of the film is specifically gratuitous partial nudity and how much is a purposeful lampoon. Go to Full Review

Angel C @seraphine.th 17h This movie is in fact very funny and awkward at some parts (because of the nudity) but shows the powerful side of feminism for me. It so fun to watch at makes you feel good to watch without stress but also makes you want to encourage the girls a lot to be on their own confidence. See more tommy J Jul 16 A fun movie that you can sit back and enjoy without thinking about the plot. Classic dumb comedy. "The eyes are the nipples of the face." See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 13 Funny in 1 hour and 37 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Partial Nudity, Brief Strong Language and Sex-Related Humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The worldwide gross is $70,439,696.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more jolin t Mar 2 silly and fun and doesn't try to be anything more than it can. See more Kauã M @KauaMiguel 01/06/2025 Silly and fun, it doesn't deserve the low rating it has. See more Tory B 12/23/2024 The fact that this movie has a 44% at the time of writing is complete and utter lunacy. House Bunny is unfathomably iconic, quotable, and one of the best movies of its time. Next time you watch, listen real good and hard so you can hear just how funny every line is.
