4.0 out of 5 stars average DVD with tons of extras, November 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Playboy - Playmates Unwrapped (DVD)

For awhile, Playboy has been giving us DVDs with recycled material, or DVDs with mostly amateur models. For the first time in almost a year, we get a DVD with all-new material, with several Playmates making their video debut.

We get to see 2001 Playmates like Stephanie Heinrich, Dalene Kurtis, Kimberley Stanfield, Nichole Van Croft, Lindsey Vuolo, and my new favorite Playmate, Jennifer Walcott, who appears on the cover. We also get to see Playmates from year 2000 or earlier, like Kimberly Spicer, Jami Ferrell, Shannon Stewart, Buffy Tyler, Kerissa Fare, and Neferteri Shepherd.

If you're a fan of blondes, this DVD might be for you, as 8 of the 12 Playmates are blonde.

This is a short DVD at 52 minutes. There are 8 segments, each around 5-7 minutes each. The theme for this DVD is Christmas, and most of the scenes are somewhat corny.

This DVD is much tamer and not as risque or erotic as recent Playboy or Penthouse DVDs have become. No girl-girl scenes in here, no soapy bathtub or shower scenes. Just wholesome, perverted fun, like when Santa Claus acts as a voyeur as 4 Playmates are unwrapping their gifts in the nude.

If this DVD just contained the 52 minutes of content, I would probably rate it 3 stars. There are better Playboy DVDs available, but there are also much, much worse titles. This DVD earns an extra 4th star for the tons of extras that are loaded in the bonus feature section.

There is a 4 minute behind-the-scenes look at this particular DVD title. We also get a 15 minute Playmate Profile of the lovely Jennifer Walcott. We also get 3-to-4 minute behind-the-scenes featurettes each (total about another 15 minutes) of 5 different Playmates during the filming of their Playmate Profiles for: Stephanie Heinrich, Lindsey Vuolo, Jennifer Walcott (again), Kimberly Stanfield, and Dalene Kurtis.

There's also 3 preview trailers for other 2001 Playboy DVD releases, and a still frame gallery of each Playmates' statistics, taken directly from the magazine centerfold.

The bonus that I really liked, though, was the extensive Playmate videography that they included. It lists every VHS video, laserdisc, and DVD that Playboy has ever produced, and it tells you what Playmates appeared in which videos. You can do the search by 2 ways: the Playmate's last name, or the year the video/DVD came out. This extensive list dates back to 1982 and even lists one of the upcoming 2002 titles, called Roommates.

This list looks to be 99% accurate, and lists quite a few titles that have only appeared on VHS or laserdisc. For those longtime Playboy fans who've wanted to know what videos or DVDs your favorite Playmates have appeared in, this is a great list to use to see what you're missing in your collection.

The videography isn't 100% accurate, as I noticed it omitted my favorite Latina Playmate, Maria Checa, from the Lusty Latin Ladies DVD. Upon scanning other Playmates' entries, the list did look more accurate than any list available online.

The videography only has Playmates, though, which doesn't include any of the models who have appeared in the Newsstand Special magazines.

This is easily one of the better releases of Playboy DVDs in a long time, especially with the 90+ minutes of total video footage when you include the bonus features. Even the videography takes about 30 minutes to go through to help you determine future Playboy purchases.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overall Pretty Good, May 27, 2004

This review is from: Playboy - Playmates Unwrapped (DVD)

Overall I liked this one. I do have a few complaints though. First of all I agree with the below reviewer that complained about fake boobs and bleach blond hair. I have never seen anything special about Dalene Kurtis, Buffy Tyler or Stephanie Heinrich, and this video is no exception. And Jennifer Walcott is undeniably gorgeous, but that is the worst boob job I have ever seen. What was she thinking?

Also I still have no idea why Playboy DVDs have all these artsy vignettes with plots. And they have been doing this for well over 10 years! Hasn't anybody told them all we care about is the nude women? I don't want to watch Santa Claus romp around the house leaving gifts. Get him the @#$^* out of there. But the worst was the clip involving one of my favorite Playmates, Nichole Van Croft. She is giving her man a strip show, and for some reason they keep showing us the guy's reaction for extended periods of time. WE DON'T WANT THIS!!! I can already assume HE'S enjoying it. Now stop showing his goofy face so I can enjoy it too!

There were some pleasant surprises though. For one, I never thought a lot of Kimberley Spicer from the magazine, but in live action she looked pretty cute. And it is also nice that most of the girls shave "downstairs" so we can have a good look at what we really want to see.

And one of my favorite things on the whole DVD was the bonus footage of Lindsey Vuolo "on the set." The entire segment just focused on her walking around nude while they filmed her. This is what I like to see. No plots, no extra characters, ESPECIALLY GUYS--just beautiful naked women walking around. Is that so much to ask?

2.0 out of 5 stars thumbs down, December 23, 2001

By 

cj roth (Brighton, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Playboy / Playmates Unwrapped [VHS] (VHS Tape)

While the women stand around the christmas tree naked, lay together in bed naked, open presents naked, and play with a snowman naked, that's all this video offers. No eroticism is to be had and there is no contact among the females. It starts out with great anticipation when the narrator describes 4 sexy sorority sisters snowed in on christmas eve wearing short skirts and looking positively innocent. Yet it fizzles when the editing jumps all too quickly to clothes falling on the floor and the girls throwing tinsle at each other. Great possibilities lost. The subsequent vignettes are, unlike the girls, flat. This is not a video of the caliber of other Playboy triumphs like Girlfriends. Very disappointing. If you like watching girls with implants standing or lying naked, buy it. If you want some girl/girl action or at least some eroticism, let this one pass.
