I saw this movie when it came out and I was much younger. I thought it was so cute and fell for basically everything, all the tips about guys. As a young lady, I already truly believed my worth was dependent on my looks. This movie didn't help.
I've watched it again, 15 years later, having aged and gained much more wisdom.
This movie is quite shallow, any attempt to redeem itself is wasted because throughout the entire movie the emphasis is completely about sex, physical attraction, and more sex. Hugh Hefner is depicted as some sort of philanthropist letting young ladies live in a mansion. They don't go into details about what's required of the ladies to live there.
By now everyone should know what a creep he is and how awful the porn industry is.
This movie promotes two harmful messages to boys and girls. To girls it says we need to be dumb, sexy, and downplay who we are to get attention and matter. To boys it says they are nothing more than sex crazed horn dogs.
Teenagers and young adults shouldn't watch this movie. It glamorizes too many negative aspects of society.
An older person wouldn't be as affected by this film, but then again, an older, mature person would never want to watch it.
Just skip it.
