Play-mate of the Apes (2002)

** (out of 4)

This erotic take-off on PLANET OF THE APES is certainly nothing special but for a Seduction films I must say it's a mini-masterpiece. Three female astronauts (led by Misty Mundae) crash on an unknown planet where the humans are scum and everything is ran by apes. Soon an ape scientist becomes curious about why Mundae can talk and then we have several sex scenes. The talking and sex really don't have anything connecting them but when you come into a movie like this you really shouldn't expect anything other that softcore scenes. I must say that there's quite a bit more than just your sex-loaded stuff here because at least they tried to do something more and I must say that there's quite a bit of imagination scattered through. I thought there were actually some fairly funny one-liners and yet many of them are homages or nods to those in the original Charlton Heston film. We even get some jokes aimed at the NRA and the "dirty apes" bit is used nicely here. I also like the majority of the ape outfits even if they were just Halloween masks. I thought some of them were rather creative and added to the characters and this is especially true of a hot pink ape constantly running around. With all of that said, the main draw here is going to be those looking for sex scenes. I'd say at least an hour of the 90-minute running time is devoted to the slow motion sex scenes. For the most part they're entertaining and well-shot but I've always wondered how much time is added by shooting them in slow motion. The other draw is going to be for Mundae. Listen, I understand why there's a large debate whether she's a sex goddess or not. If you're into natural looking girls then she's going to be your cup of tea. If you prefer the fake breasted girls then have no fear because the cast is full of them. Mundae is the only one trying to act as everyone else falls well short of the type of acting you'd see in a strip club.
