Critics Consensus

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

É uma versão um pouco piorada de meninas malvadas, mas o filme é lotado de piadas sem graça e clichês.

Think of this as a reverse Revenge of the Nerds with women Anna Faris of 'Scary Movie' fame stars as Shelley She resides in the infamous Playboy Mansion after spending her childhood with no family She dreams of being a centerfold but because of a jealous bunny she's told she has to leave Shelley then ends up living at a sorority house The tenants are in danger of losing their home unless they get popular and have the ultimate party to get pledges Shelley has to show more than being a glamour-filled female even if she's too dim witted Clearly this movie was meant for the teenage mindset featuring loads of beautiful women There are attempts to knock down the beauty standards set by others, makeovers don't have to be the answer, the male fantasy can't be so archaic, you should love who you are as well be loved by others not just the physical There's plenty of debates here about natural beauty vs being glammed up Although it's very muddled It's not too funny all the way through and it's highly forgettable But Faris does what she can with the material

Gone With The Twins

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