[.ca] "Playboy - 2001 Playmate of the Year Brande Roderick, ...

good:
If you like female nudity, this is the DVD for you. There's lots of nudity here, and hardly any male nudity, which is a plus.

Not Good Enougth:
Brande Roderickis drop dead gorgeous but there are virtually no good segments is this DVD. With the exception of the introduction it was pretty badly done.

Keep moving folks! Nothing to see here!:
Once again the 2 earth elements, Bleach and Silicone have combined to win Playmate of the Year. Can someone please tell me how Brande Roderick won over Brooke Berry or Shannon Stewart? This DVD is made in the standard Playmate of the Year video Fashion, with canned music recycled from the last 5 videos and the typical buzz words, "It's such an Honour", " I can't believe the pictures are of Me", " I was a Tomboy growing up", ...please, it's time to change the script alitle. You get the feeling that Brande is reading cue cards without her contact lens on and if she said anything original it would be by accident. The video has nothing original to it. There are some bright moments on the disc, around 16 min. in Brande does a nice waterfall scene in a black bikini, this is the only scene where you get to see more than her breasts. 26 min. in Brande is watching slides of herself while lounging in an armchair, nice, except the lighting is dark. You get the feeling that someone is yelling "Quick, Brande is Exposing Herself, Kill the Lights!". Buffy Tyler's Bonus feature isn't much better, although the Parody of Ali Larter's Whip Cream Bikini scene from Varsity Blues definitely works for me. As for Bonus Features you get a Behind the scenes video (the exact same as the one you could download from Playboy.com), Brande's orginal Video Profile, yawn.., a slide show, double yawn.., and a listing of all the Playboy videos available to purchase (Like you'd pay money for that). About a quarter of the video is worth watching the rest is filler. If fake blondes is your passion you'll love this disc, if not wait for the next playmate review or wet and wild series.

I CANT BELIEVE I LOOKED ALL OVER THE CITY FOR THIS:
Title says all... I was hoping for great things from these guys this year, but I guess my expectations weren't even met. Nude footage is ruined by extra long "filler" sequences. I looked all over the city to find this and I was upset at the lack of quality from playboy. Normally I dont care for the music, but the audio in this one was horrible as it ripped off a few song pitches I know (Can we say Beautiful Day?). Rent it first before you buy it. The last few reviews would agree with me on that... and the first few have not seen the stuff from years ago (ie. Jenny Mccarthy, Karen McDougall to name a few)

Brande is nice but Shannon Stewart shouldve won:
Not a terrible video and Brande is nice to look at but Shannon Stewart was hands down the hottest playmate of the year. Just catch some of her videos and see for yourself. She is gorgeous in every way and ranks as one of the best playmates ever. So why did Brande win? Cause she is so close to Hef and thats why. Do yourself a favor and find a video that has Shannon Stewart on it. One video of her is worth more than all the videos on this DVD.
