Shelley (Anna Faris) has only ever felt belonging to a family when she lived in the Playboy mansion - but then she's kicked out (by ways of scheming from a rival) and suddenly find herself with nowhere to go. Someone gives her the idea she should be the mother of a sorority house, but lacking any real education and a fashion sense that clashes with the standards of traditional sororities, she doesn't stand a chance ... until she stumbles upon the Zeta house, the house where the misfits, the nerds and geeks, the outcasts live. Their last sorority mother has just quit and ... well, they're running the risk of losing their house if they can't attract 30 pledges - but who'd want to pledge for the loser sorority. Of course, sexy Shelley, especially in her skimpy outfits, is a jock magnet, and where the jocks go the chicks go - so she takes it upon herself to turn the nerdy girls into sex bombs - and takes things a little too far doing so. Shelley also meets OIiver (Colin Hanks), the proberbial nice guy who works in an old people's home, and who's visibly attracted to her, but when she tries to seduce him using her old tactics, he's left puzzled at best, making her realise there's more to life than just beauty. Likewise, when she tries to pass off as a bookworm, she only makes a fool out of herself, and thus she learns she has to be herself - and ultimately she has to teach that to the Zeta girls as well in order to achieve their pledges ...

Emma Stone and Rumer Willis are among the Zeta girls while Hugh Hefner plays himself, and so do several prominent Playboy bunnies, including Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson.

 

Now the good thing about this movie is without the doubt Anna Faris who not only looks the part, she also brings the right comic timing and delivery to the part. Apart from her, the film has little to offer though, as the plot is over-populated with old clichés, dated jokes, and a surprising amount of sexism in the light that this film was written by two women. What's more, there are no real characters in the movie to care about, just stale caricatures, while the plot is largely formulaic and predictable and tries a little too hard to bring its message - "just be yourself" - across. In all, I seriously can't say I enjoyed this much.
