[Based on an advance preview:]  ANNA FARIS stars as a “Playboy” type Bunny who’s suddenly made homeless by unexpected shenanigans...


...  Needing a place to stay, she hits upon being a HOUSE mother to a Greek-named Zeta Sorority house that’s under threat of being disbanded because of a lack of pledges...


...  Anna (who got great guffaws from the audience each time she used a low-pitched growling voice) works hard to help the GEEKY girls in the House try to become more appealing to boys & thus to potential-pledging girls...


...   Anna is ditzy & not very educated in book-learning, but she’s not a “dumb” or stupid blonde, she has a good HEART, & works hard to IMPROVE the girls and also herself (for potential beau COLIN HANKS)...


...  This is not especially well-written (cleverness-wise), but it’s WELL-ACTED by the various stars and distinctive Zeta girls (EMMA STONE, KAT DENNINGS, KATHERINE McPHEE, RUMER WILLIS, etc.), you tend to CARE about their progressing, and thus I found it to be an enjoyable diversion.
