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.

So what can you do with 5 women who are willing to do very bad lesbian pseudo-porn, a dozen guys and all the leftover ape masks from the local halloween shop? Make this movie. Its bad, its supposed to be bad, but wow is this bad. If it weren't for Misty Mundae playing a girl stuck in a bad film, i might have simply turned it off, but she's actually funny and worth watching, (most of the rest of the film isnt).

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I bought this DVD for two reasons. One, to see what all the fuss was about Misty Mundae. I've seen her advertised in many straight to video erotic movies and I had to see what she could bring to the party. Two, to see if Ape woman Debbie Rochon gets naked. I am sad to report that there is no Ape-human sex scene. In fact, I'm not even sure why they bothered with the Planet of the Apes angle at all. Why no Ape boobies? That would have been classic. But what is really interesting about this flick is Misty Mundae. Why is she being sold as a sex goddess? I had to find out.First off, Misty Mundae is the whitest woman I have ever seen. She is ghost white. Almost transparent. She should think about getting some sun. When I look at her, the phrase "Sex bomb" is not what enters my mind. Let's cut to it. She ain't hot. Her hair is flat and dull. She has no breasts! NONE! Her skin is so white it glows in the dark. So why all the hubbub about Mundae?Because Misty Mundae gets naked a lot and has sex with every woman she sees. OK. That's a good thing. Also, among the entire cast, she's the only one trying to act. I suspect the producers went to the local strip club and had a casting call for Horny Stripper 1, 2, 3, and 4 to fill out the rest of the cast. My favorite stripper/actress/softcore porn treat was the one named wonder Anoushka. She was the horniest of all the strippers. She ruled this planet.So basically "Play-mate of the Apes" comes down to six or seven scenes of softcore sex mushed together with some story of humans dancing to prove their worth to the Apes. Seriously. I chuckled at a few spots. As a softcore romp, it's pretty good. Whenever you hear the music kick in, you'll know that nakedness is on the way. Why blast music over the top of every sex scene? Half the fun is listening to the women moan with pleasure. In conclusion, I really don't know how Misty Mundae has carved out a piece of the erotic jungle for herself. Maybe I'm too much of a breast man to understand. But I have to give her credit for the amount of sex she has on the Planet of the Horny Strippers.

EI Entertainment has one of the hardest jobs in the world. It's safe to say that about 99% of the movies they make are pure crap. What do you get when you take a number of recycled lesbian sex scenes with some quick and unwitty humor......a Seductive Cinema Classic....which says a whole hell of a lot. Still, that 1% that EI producers is pure magic. Most of the time they just point the camera at Misty Mundae and the audience is happy. As a matter of fact, the only good reason to watch most of the garbage that EI makes is Misty Mundae. The same goes for Play-Mate of the Apes. Yes, there's some college "frat house" humor, but the only good reason this flick is worth a crap is the very innocent and very young "eye candy" known as Misty Mundae. If you don't expect much from a production company that would be out of the business if they weren't allowed to tape lesbian love action, this one is highly worth watching. Then again, if you just want to see people on screen having sex, leave this one on the shelves and go rent some XXX adult cinema like any normal person in the video store.
