Overview
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.
The fact that this movie is at all watchable is a testament to Ms. Faris’ abilities. I mean, the script is bad. Real bad. And we’ve seen all of these themes done so many times before, and done much better than they were in this movie. Towards the end, not even Faris can save this film from total mediocrity. On the bright side, it probably helped to sell a lot of pushup bras.
