House Bunny

House Bunny

Who's in it: Anna Faris, Hugh Hefner, Emma Stone, Colin Hanks

What's it about: Shelley(Faris) has been living at the Playboy bunny mansion with Hugh Hefner(Hefner) for a long time. She has always dreamed of being the centerfold of one of the magazines. After she turns 28, she is led to believe that she is kicked out of the mansion. When she moves out of the mansion, she becomes the house mother at Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority. She meets Natalie(Stone) and her friends and decides to teach them how to be traditional college party girls. When Shelley meets Oliver(Hanks) all of her 'tricks' to win a man's heart don't work. She finds herself desperate to learn all that she can to be in love.

What I Think: This movie was really funny. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, but it was enjoyable. Faris plays these kind of characters really well and I enjoy her in most of her movies. Hanks was great! I thought that he really brought out the character of Oliver and Shelley. Now, the main sorority girl, Natalie was only part of the piece. There were several different girls in Zeta Alpha Zeta, but I only named Stone's character because she played the biggest part. Hefner has got it made baby! Huge mansion, a magazine, attractive women, a clothing line, and now a movie (along with others).

My Mom's New Boyfriend

My Mom's New Boyfriend

Who's in it: Antonio Banderas, Meg Ryan, Colin Hanks, Selma Blair

What's it about: Marty(Ryan) had always had problems in her life. After a life changing experience while taking her son Henry(Hanks), a new FBI agent, to the airport, she becomes a new person. After three years, Henry comes back with his fiancé(Blair). His mother is new and improved and an all around hottie. Everyone wants to date her. After she meets smooth talker Tommy(Banderas), she starts to fall in love. However, Tommy has a secret life and Henry's on his tail.

What I Think: This movie was very entertaining. It was disturbing at times, but wonderfully played out. Hanks is really like his father. Banderas was wonderful as he is in all of his movies. Still looks amazing and good looking. Blair was definetely good. Ryan seemed as if she were drunk the entire time and I wasn't quite sure if that was her or the character she was portraying. Great movie and amazing twist in the end!
