It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

While not everything reaches the technical standards of, say, later James Bond films, this is an incredibly good movie for its time. It probably missed out on mainstream release in cinemas because people thought it was too risqué for Grandma, while not being risqué enough for porn lovers. This is unfortunate, because it just happens to be be an example of American cinema at its best. Some good-looking actors, with Dana Delany standing out like a goddess, whether wearing figure hugging dresses, wrapped in what look like old curtains or simply climbing naked out of the pool. However, as others have observed, Rosie O'Donnell is also a knockout, proving that a beautiful and intelligent woman can also be a little overweight. I was half expecting to be disappointed before I watched the film - but now I'm very glad I did.

This pile of dung is one of the worst movies I've ever sat through. As others have pointed out, the only thing in it worth seeing is a momentary glimpse of Dana Delaney totally nude, including her luxuriant growth of pubic hair, obviously shot back in the days before Generation X began dominating the media with their peculiar aversion to anything natural, especially hair. Still, her brief nude scene is not enough for this piece of drek to find a permanent slot in your video library even if you got it for free. That Aussie jerk ruined it from the first moment he appeared on screen. Whoever gave him the idea that he could act, that he understood the first thing about photography, that his "croc hunter" accent was somehow cool, or that his big fat ass was sexy and ought to be shoved in our faces for an hour and a half? If you're not a woman or hopelessly gay, a movie where beefcake men run around in thongs is what we used to call a real gross-out. Admittedly, there were a handful of scenes containing cute, half-naked babes that deserved a second look, but otherwise, this horrible excuse for cinema was a groan from start to finish, actually worse than a bad "Loveboat" episode, if that is possible. Rosie O'Donnel wasn't exactly good in it but she was far from its worst feature, and that alone ought to tell you something. When she kissed her "submissive" at the end, she was far more convincing as a straight woman than he was as a straight man. Put another way, whoever had the idea to pair a dike with an obvious fairy and call it erotic ought to have their heads examined. I had to ask my old lady three or four separate times if anyone saw her take this piece of tripe from the library sale rack and am embarrassed we watched the whole thing.

I have seen many of the uber bad movies on the bottom 100: You Got Served, Glitter etc and I think this movie is up there with them. You Got Served and Glitter are obviously bad, but this movie is subtly the worst movie I have ever seen. I think that after Basic Instinct some Hollywood exec thought: "Hmm this is the next big thing, mainstream movies with tons of nudity and sex!" The problem with this thought is that a)that wasn't the next big thing and b) this movie has none of the traits of a mainstream movie. The acting in this movie is horrendous, aside from Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd who play second fiddle to a couple of porn rate actors, the plot is awkward because it has to squeeze in so much sex and the directing kind of feels like a porn movie. The plot is the worst part, in my opinion, there are two distinct plots in the movie that intersect a couple of times and finally conclude concurrently. Nothing all that unusual there, but both plots are so meaningless and free from suspense that the only plot device evident is the switch between soft core sex scenes to Dan and Rosie standing around waiting for something to happen. The only reason to watch this movie is if you really need to see some nudity, and even the sex scenes are nothing special. Most are just standard soft core porn, only in order to pass it off as a "mainstream movie" even those are cut short. I vaguely remembered when this movie came out and I was pretty excited when it came on HBO, but it was so bad that I could barely go to sleep. If you have any choice in the matter WATCH SOMETHING ELSE!

I gave it an excellent because after all I enjoyed it. The plot line at it's bases, cops look for bad guy that no one knows what he looks like in a strange place, but on the other hand, this was not your usual strange place. I think it did a safe job of showing the alternative life styles some people like or want to experiment with. Some B&D and a little S&M. Great fun.Dana alone would make the movie a ten. Her portrayal as a dom was pretty good, granted that some doms are downright vicious, she came across better and let's be honest, anyone here not want to have her in your pool?Rosie was fun, as was Dan.I am not sure they could have filmed the book as it was written. Would have had to be done by a porno house I think.Her cop persona should have been brought back. She and Dan I thought made a pretty good comedy pair.When Iman is in the red leather outfit, she looked hot. Good on ya David!I do agree the New Orleans bit could have been left out but it worked nonetheless. The island was the only real disappointment because I think they should have shot it in the Caribbean maybe at the real island where this sort of thing goes on. Would have liked to see a little more naked swimming. Heh heh heh.Overall the plot line was fun and THANK GOD it wasn't PRETTY WOMAN. That movie was tripe and paint by the numbers every step of the way. EXIT TO EDEN was fun and enjoyable. And different.But it definitely was an R rated movie.
