If you're 79-year-old Hugh Hefner, paradise these days means sharing your life with three young blondes who spend an inordinate amount of time primping in front of a mirror and playing with their dogs.

Producers have apparently been lining up for a couple of years for the opportunity to capture the spectacle of Hef at home, but what we get from executive producer Kevin Burns is notably shallow and ludicrous.
