Preview: Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel (2010)

Synopsis:

XXXX

• Poster: B-

Review:

What the mirror image aspect of the poster has to do with the man is mystifying, but the style of the poster is solid, delivering a quintessential portrait of the younger Hugh Hefner without trending towards garish or lurid.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Culturally relevent and with plenty of famous names speaking about Hefner and his accomplishments, it may be a fascinating watch. However, I can't escape the feeling that we're also likely to get a fairly bland, run of the mill documentary that does nothing the genre hasn't been doing for decades.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• July 30, 2010
