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.

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.

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.'

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

Anyone giving a serious rating to this movie is a criminal, it is clearly a well done trashy comedy, if you love Anna Faris you'll love this movie

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.

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."
