Review

Brains do not need to be engaged for this movie. But it does produce a few wonderful and hilarious surprises that make it a very enjoyable 90 minutes.

One is Anna Farris who does a great twist on the archetypal dizzy blonde beloved of Hollywood since time immemorial.

But the real kickers are the jarring oneliners that pepper an otherwise sweet and predictable film. Several reduced this viewer to paroxysms of laughter tears rolling down cheeks beverage spurting across the room.

These moments when they arrive are so unexpected that the effect is one of firmlyflicked kipper on unprotected jowl. And none are in the "grossout" style that one might have expected in a film of this genre.

Very bunny indeed.
