» 'Girls of the Playboy Mansion' is Depression in DVD Form
While the tried and tested MTV format of quick cut edits over the clever employment of silly noises and a cute old school soundtrack reminiscent of a ’50s sitcom (The Osbournes) was a deft touch a poking fun at the subject, it’s been so copied and dulled down that this is its natural end. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the end of dog racing. For every Gene Simmons Family Jewels there’s a Sunset Tan. For every LA Ink, there’s Inked on A&E. And for everyone who deserves a punch in the balls, there’s The Girls Next Door.

This movie is ridiculous. Which isn’t to say it’s not also hilarious. More that its layer upon spoof-layer upon insidery spoof-layer joke-within-joke, does becomes a little exhausting at points along the way. It’s way meta, dude. Like when if ever you were a kid and you made a cake with your friends, you wanted to make what was clearly the Most Mind-Blowing, Most Badass Tasting Cake Ever. So into the chocolate mix goes M&Ms, and maybe a melted Mars Bar. Okay, I see what you’re doing. And what about a whole bag of those chewy little cars? Ah, Okay. And also, an entire block of chocolate. And then, we’ll melt caramel over the whole things once we’ve done the icing. Voila!
