Anna Faris: The House Bunny

Playing dumb isn’t as easy as it looks; it’s not enough to make your character an idiot—you also have to give the audience some reason to willingly spend 90 minutes in his or her company.  That’s why Anna Faris is such a gift to contemporary comedies.  Not only does she have the best dumb blonde routine in the business, she’s also insanely likable.  Her infectious energy and sweetness single-handedly keeps this otherwise routine fish-out-water comedy from drowning in its own clichés.  Next up for Faris are lead roles in a pair of ’09 comedies starring Topher Grace and Seth Rogen respectively.  Don’t be surprised if she walks away with those movies too.
