Anna Faris, who you may remember from Scary Movie, plays Shelley Darlingson, a superannuated Playboy Bunny in this Fred Wolf comedy produced by Adam Sandler. She is 28 which, she is informed, is 59 in Bunny years. She must go.

Totally out of her depth outside the Playboy mansion — which is portrayed as a brothel where sex is prohibited — she stumbles into a university campus house called Zeta Alpha Zeta which is about to be closed because it can’t attract new members.

Her job, she now opines, is to make the sorority as much like the Playboy mansion as possible, so she gives the unfortunate inmates a crash course in how to make their way in life by attracting men. Actually, Shelley is not very good at it herself. When she has dinner with Colby (Tyson Ritter), the one she fancies, she stuns him by talking on and on about her cherishable “bum”.

She eventually learns that she and the other girls have to stop pretending and be smart as well as sexy.

Meanwhile, an aged Hugh Hefner, playing himself lugubriously, begins to pine for her, sending his bevy of scantily clad playmates away and ordering pot after pot of comforting ice-cream.

This silly comedy has a few decent jokes in its otherwise dim screenplay. However, its parody is as toothless as Hefner probably is by now and its cast, which includes Colin Hanks and Emma Stone, is reduced to flailing about in the detritus of eight-inch high heels and bra pads.
