Play-Mate of the Apes

Man I started watching this movie and took it off after 5 mins because it was going so stupid but then a week later I put it on in the middle of the scene where the apes where showing off their dancing skill and I almost died laughing, this is THE most absurd thing I have ever seen. Clearly these were people with left over costumes who made this movie with NO BUDGET. They dont haven have more than 3 of any one ape costume, there is a florescent pink ape for Christ's sakes. I recommend this one to anyone.

This movie seems to be playing on cable all the time. It's a very cheesy parody of "Planet of the Apes". The jokes are extremely silly and corny. But I must admit that the sex scenes are kind of hot especially the ones with Misty Mundae and the all out orgy towards the end. These are the kind of movies that back in the 1960's would have played in "adults only" theaters. Plenty of soft-core action and bad attempts at humor. Will probably be enjoyed best with a six pack of beer.

I was at my sister's house in Queens, staying the night, and I happened to be browsing through the channels. Cinemax, forever known as Skinemax, happened to be playing this movie.

It was.... interesting.

I happened to stay tuned throughout most of the film, every once in a while just finding the need to shut it off and read George Gipe's adaptation of Gremlins.

It was funny, and I'm being honest. It was so ridiculous that it was pretty funny. The guys in the ape suits were so incredibly cheesy that they made no effort to cover it up. There's a scene at the end where one of the girl puts on one of the ape masks, just so anyone at home who hasn't figured it out already will know that they are only masks.

So there were sex scenes, then apes talking, then more sex scenes, then apes dancing, then more sex scenes, then apes fighting.

You will not find much pleasure in this movie unless you have a severe Furry fettish.

The best part of the movie was the disco-ball spaceship at the end. I mean, come on. You can't beat that. It's just funny. They didn't even spend any time bluescreening it. It was just a disco ball matted onto the background with some sort of blue light around it.

If you're a porno addict, then I guess enjoy yourself (but not too much), but beware of guys in ape suits.

If you like bad movies, then watch this right after you watch Manos and Plan 9.

sadly i saw this movie on cinemax..strange and really bad..attempts at humor are hit and miss with emphasis on the miss. Not worth a rent but if it comes on your cable network give it a go. very cheaply made and bottom of the barrel playmates.

I saw this on Cinemax recently. Right off the bat, you could tell the movie doesn't take itself seriously at all and that's the point. It goes even more over the top in trying to be silly (i.e. the lost pilot saying goodbye to "The Scarecrow" who happens to be in line when she's about to leave all the apes) than the Night Calls movies. In those flicks, the girls have fun with the fluff that comes between their sex scenes. Same case here.

Misty Mundae's performance was comical in the sense that she always had something witty to say when something was bothering her given her weird circumstances. With that said, it sorted reminded me of a female version of "Ash" from Army of Darkness, where that character was in a place he's never been before, doesn't know why he's there and wants to get the hell out. Mundae came off the same way, aloof, but likeable. But I don't wanna get too off base. Play-Mate of the Apes is a direct-to-video, low budget soft core porn flick. No more, no less.

There's even a rap sequence which is sure to get you laughing. Very cheesy, very random, very C movie. I agree with the others, the sex scenes were too long and drawn out. You might like it though because the girls are very attractive. If you're into late night softcore, give it a chance, but don't expect art.
