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.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film leans left by promoting female empowerment and self-acceptance, challenging narrow beauty standards, and advocating for solidarity among women, which aligns with progressive social values.

The movie features a predominantly white and mainstream cast without explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative focuses on themes of self-acceptance and social transformation, maintaining a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities without significant critique or central DEI themes.

Secondary

The film features Harmony, a transgender woman, who is depicted with dignity and is fully embraced by her sorority sisters. Her identity is not a source of mockery but rather a point of acceptance and sisterhood, contributing positively to the film's overall message of inclusivity.

The film does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore themes related to transsexual identity. Its narrative focuses on cisgender female experiences within a sorority setting, thus rendering the portrayal of transsexual themes as not applicable.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The House Bunny is an original film with characters created specifically for its narrative. There are no pre-existing source materials, historical figures, or prior adaptations from which characters could have been gender-swapped.

The House Bunny is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There are no pre-existing source materials, prior installments, or historical figures for its characters, thus no established racial baselines to facilitate a race swap.
