While I'm not about to glorify the movie as an artistic masterpiece by any means, this is a pretty good movie about the falls of many 'bunnies'. This movie takes a look at three different women and thier motivations for posing for Playboy and the repercussions that befall them afterward. Lynda Carter plays a middle aged house-wife and mother who decides that she still 'has it' and poses for the adult magazine. She then has to endure the ridicule emposed on not only herself, but also those thrown at her husband and children. If you're a fan of Lynda Carter, don't miss out on this great 80s classic.

Rather than the tittilation you would expect, this made for TV movie focuses on the lives of the three subject women who pose for Playboy magazine. Seconds of slightly racy photo sessions are supplemented by hours of typical hollywood family conflicts, i.e. Husband likes wife posing for playboy, then changes mind; Parents are mortified then forgive; Children are teased at school; then forgive mom. This old dog has been rerun numerous times. Save your money.

The primary purpose anyone would view this movie is to get a good dose of Lynda Carter. Typical TV movie fare other than "Wonder Woman" plying her craft as a soon to be middle-aged housewife who tries to prove she still has what it takes for Playboy.

This movie rises above the normal "Titilation Factor" thanks to the excellent performance by Ms. Lynda Carter. The story involves 3 women who pose for Playboy Magazine with different reasons for doing so. Ms. Carter is tired of the young silicone enhanced models that pose for the magazine so she makes a stand by proving that a normal housewife can be beautiful and photographed beautifully and she is right in this her stance even though then she and her onscreen husband have to endure the taunts and ridicule of small minded men who no doubt wish their wives were as good looking as her. I think Ms. Cater is a highly talented actress who is alo a very good singer and I was delighted to see that she appeared in the recent "Dukes Of Hazzard " remake which is only worth watchinbg to see her onscreen again.

"I posed for Playboy" is a movie based on the true story of three absolutely different women: a stockbroker, a diligent college student and a mother of three. Bored with their lives and tired of living up to the expectations of their families and friends, they walk on three separate paths that will finally lead them down in the same road to be a part in a famous men's magazine.
Will their decision lead to a lifetime of regret or will it bring them fortune and fame?

It's a good film about a supposed "dirty job", brilliant acted by Amanda Peterson and Lynda Carter, really worth seeing.
