Shelley is living a carefree life until a rival gets her tossed out of the Playboy Mansion. With nowhere to go, fate delivers her to the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. Unless they can sign a new pledge class, the seven socially clueless women will lose their house to the scheming girls of Phi Iota Mu. In order to accomplish their goal, they need Shelley to teach them the ways of makeup and men; at the same time, Shelley needs some of what the Zetas have - a sense of individuality. The combination leads all the girls to learn how to stop pretending and start being themselves.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Anna Faris plays dizzy dolls as expertly as Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe. If Faris's movies fail that total commitment, she can hardly be blamed for taking the work.

[Faris] gives an A performance in the kind of farce from which she's more than ready to graduate.

rotten:
It takes sexism to a new low, and it manages to attack women in the last place on earth where they continue to outperform men -- in universities.

fresh:
This aims for 'Legally Blonde'/'Mean Girls' status, but ends up being a throwaway, if entertaining, plea for casting directors to start taking Faris more seriously.

rotten:
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.
