Play-Mate of the Apes (2002)

Were you expecting monkey sex? Be honest. I'll admit I was kind of thinking monkey sex when I picked it up.

Kind of disappointed wasn't it? At least have two people dressed up as apes ala The Bloodhound Gang going at it.

Do you have that song stuck in your head now? The Bad Touch? Be honest, it's OK, the Bloodhound Gang was a fun band. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

Anyway.... What you do get is lesbians and fake boobs and cheap humor and a pink gorilla.

What you don't get is an adaptation of Planet of the Apes that is any real fun. And that is what you are looking for isn't it? It's not really monkey sex, you were kind of looking for a soft pornographic spoof of a science-fiction classic.

And as fun as it was, it kind of failed in the spoof department. I'd honestly give it 10 stars if it had any other title, just because you expect cheap humor and boobs from movies like this. But with a title like "Play-Mate of the Apes," you also expected the humor to be more relevant to Planet of the Apes and it failed to deliver that.
