4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better Video Calendars, April 5, 2001

By A Customer

At 85+ minutes, this is one of the longest Playboy DVDs that I've run across. It's your typical Video Calendar, and your opinion of it will very likely depend on whether or not you are a fan of the particular Playmates featured on it. I found it to have several Playmates who I liked, like Nicole Lenz, Jodi Ann Paterson, and Kristi Cline, and it made me notice a few Playmates I didn't pay much attention to before, like Cara Wakelin and Jennifer Rovero.

Each Playmate has a 6 minute video segment, which is longer than the typical 4 minutes in previous Video Calendars. Jodi Ann gets a 9 to 10 minute segment in her spot.

Be warned, though, some of the new cases that these Playboy DVDs come in have the notorious flower-pattern hubs that clamp onto the DVD and don't release easily. Be careful when you extract it from the DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed again, November 6, 2000

By	Knal Parker (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews

Well, after last year's superb video I thought Playboy was finally taking a turn for the better in their video production. Unfortunately, Playboy is back to their old tricks. When will they stop messing around with trite symbolism and gaudy sets? Needless to say, the girls are beautiful but you only see them as the camara swoops by them to focus on a candle or fountain or something lame like that. Moreover, the women hardly even move. It's like watching naked statues. The director apparently told them to stand still with as little life in them as possible. There are exceptions but they are few and far between. It's nice that there are a few simulated sex scenes, but actually it appears that Playboy stopped trying to make it look convincing. As expected, the couple barely moves and when the man touches the playmates breasts it almost seems like an accident. Just grab them! It's frustrating to watch a video with so much potential fail miserably because of misplaced priorities. The priority in this film is to showcase the tacky sets, the horrible (yet familiar) soundtrack, while the women are placed in the background with the rest of the props. Playboy needs to reinvent this boring style that we all grew tired of years and years ago. The playmates and their fans deserve better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does Playboy Have A Clue?, November 26, 2000

By	Roger - See all my reviews

Of coarse they do... look at the quality women they get. But as for their video production team.... okay, Mr. Parker was exactly right. Don't make the same mistake that I did and buy this video. Playboy needs to finally recognize who their audience is and comprehend why we are buying the tape. It is not so that we can appreciate the ridiculous symbolism. Maybe they have to make it seem artsy in order to get these girls' clothes off, but I doubt it. I think they are just wasting a lot of money. If you normally buy these videos, like myself, make a statement this year and save your money (you are not missing anything). It's time that Playboy gives us what we pay for. They could at least keep the camara still for two seconds when there actually is nudity. Plus, this is a bare-bones dvd. Don't think that you will get a handful of ads for their other videos (like the 2000 calendar). There is nothing but a slide show (pointless) and a music video (just plain bad). How about adding data sheets and the playmates' monthly spread? At least give us the ads back. Last year's video was suprisingly good and this year's is nothing more than a waste of time and money. I hope that I have been able to save somebody some money that I foolishly wasted. p.s. Is it just me or are all of the playmates starting to look the same= blonde and plastic.
