Summary: When this movie comes on......RUN!!!!!
Review: Rosie O Donnell running around in black leather and fishnets is not my idea of entertainment. First she had to ruin every man's Betty Rubble fantasy, and now this. Rosie stick to day-time TV so people who work for a living will never have to see you and your big basketball head.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Insult to Rice and BDSM
Review: I am personally insulted that Anne Rice's book was butchered into some schlocky/comedy/keystone cop caper movie this way. This film insults those of us who live (and rather enjoy) the BDSM lifestyle. The overly glib explanation of the male leads bondage fascination was extremely insulting, spankings from a busty maid indeed. Believe me, this fascination with pain and servitude goes much deeper than that; it can't be so glibbly and easily glossed over as the film does.

I would have given this film negative stars if it were a possibility. Garry Marshall should be flogged for making this film, and who in the name of all things sacred and profane wants to see the Golden Heifer herself in leather?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you are a Paul Mercurio fan see this film
Review: Finally picked up Strictly Ballroom and was riveted by Paul Mercurio. I rented Exit to Eden because he was in it and he doesn't disappoint. Unfortunately the movie wastes time with O'Donnell and Ackroyd. I would have perferred more with Delaney and Mercurio. If you are in the mood for a mostly light hearted entertainment, see this film. Paul is delicious to look at. My favorite scene was the bondage scene . . . what am I saying, all scenes with Paul were my favorite.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: light-hearted sexiness
Review: In no way is this a heavy or meaningful movie. Rather it is a great light-hearted exploration of a theme, replete with non-stop one-liners from a fun and talented cast. Dana Delany exudes a refined yet casual sexuality that I find irresistible. Favorite [paraphrased] quote of the movie:

A male character lusting after Rosie O'Donnell: "I'd like to make your wildest fantasy come true!"

Rosie: "Yeah? Paint my house!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love the honesty displayed in this movie
Review: One of the first movies to Dispute the myths about about bondage. Its about trust. All in all "exit to eden" does a good job of displaying an alternative lifestyle. And it does it with a fair amount of humor. If you are unacostumed to viewing things from other points of view, aside from your own, then do not watch this movie. However if you like to explore other lifestyles, and get a good laugh while your at it then this is a good movie to watch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Uptight, non-adventurous purists won't like this movie!
Review: This movie was great! Those that complain of the humorous aspect are too fanatic about the book or the bdsm lifestyle. Those that complain of the kink aspect are 'way too uptight! Loosen up! This was a very clever melding of kink with mainstream, and it was delightfully done. Costumes are great (and I am not a particular Rosie fan, but she looked very good as a Domme), the lead romantic interests were sexy and sweet, and the film allowed for the perspectives of those who were into the bdsm scene, as well as those who were new to it (through Ackroyd's reactions). I loved it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

Review: I thought this to be a wonderful movie. I have always been a huge fan of every actor and actress in this movie. I watch this movie over and over all the time!

Rating: 3 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Exit to the bargain bin
Review: Except for a handful of Rosie O'Donnell's witty one-liners, EXIT EDEN comes up short on entertainment value. The film seems torn between being a bumbling-cop-caper film and a make-you-blush exploration of hard-core sin. The most telling moment in EXIT TO EDEN happens in a sex club scene. Tickle-fetish customers line up to tickle the armpits of a slave woman whose arms are tied over her head. Suddenly a public-address announcer pages the woman, who then slips out of the wrist restraints as if they were a pair of gloves, revealing her helplessness (and ticklishness?) was faked. Just as EXIT TO EDEN was taking us somewhere we didn't know existed, it glosses over the subject matter (bondage, sexual cruelty) with a stupid joke. Wishy-washy on the x-rated world and unfunny on the comedy level, EXIT TO EDEN exits to the $1.99 bargain bin. But even at $1.99, it would cost too much.
