Playboy - Celebrities Reviews:
what you'd expect from Playboy 
2009-04-24 - The format of this video is very much what you'd expect from Playboy. A bit cheesy, I think. Sultry female voice-over, model on a dirt road with a broken down car, hitch hiking with some cutoff shorts and pretty much no top. You've seen it done before. Every model has something cheesy like that.
The women are beautiful though and it's definitely a time capsule to look at Pamela Anderson when she was younger, Anna Nicole Smith, and the rest. All beautiful women. Sometimes these images are forgotten because of how they've ended up. I think this is good as a reminder that there is more to these people than we're seeing now.
Somewhat unusual "cast" but overall a great DVD for fans of celebs in the buff 
2005-06-30 - This is a "Greatest Hits" compilation of clips from videos featuring famous celebrities who posed for Playboy. Duh. The clips are well chosen and very steamy. Best for me were Pam Anderson (pre-plastic surgeon and Tommy Lee - alright!), Jessica Hahn (a true sex goddess), Carmen Electra (who knew the video was actually way better than the song?) and Jenny McCarthy (she never, ever got as sexy on screen as she did here and that's a shame, IMHO).
The downside here is (of course) some of the music. If you've seen a few of these Playboy vids you'll know what I'm talking about. Some of the music can be downright cheesy in attempting to catch the heart of these segments. But hey, that's what the Mute button is for so my complaint is again a small one. Interesting note: some of the scenes here are more surreal than what you'll see in the Hellcats in High Heels video (no doubt because Playboy has a bigger budget.)
Sometimes the weirdness works (Jessica Hahn's quite steamy segment) and sometimes it don't (poor Erika Eleniak's near laughable segment). But you have to give some credit to a video that makes LaToya Jackson look sexy (her segment is way too cute too). So if you only buy or rent one Playboy video in your life (or you've already bought or rented Shagalicious British Babes and are looking for more heat from Hefner's hotties) make it this one.
Not so hot. 
2002-02-24 - What they have done for each "celebrity" is they start out with a bunch of still shots for around 20 seconds, and then they flash to a vignette lasting around 5-6 minutes. There is only one per girl.
My main problem is not their format, but the fact they had several better looking celebrities they have either made/photographed that were ignored (like Kelly Monaco) in place are ones like Jessica Hahn (who is famous only for sleeping with the now defunct ptl club chief Jim Baker ). Monaco would have been an excellent looking girl instead of (compared to some of the others) a rather plain to above average Hahn and the positively stupid vignette they shot her in. Not enough five star caliber girls/celebrities (that playboy HAS in their vault) for the price. Pam Andersons vignette was lame too, almost as bad as her feature DVD.
