Summary: Where's the DVD?
Review: I'm a big fan of Rosie and I've heard her say many times, on her show, how terrible this movie is so I just HAD to see it. I was totally shocked to see Rosie dressed the way she is in this movie and I was just cracking up laughing. Not really at the movie itself, but the expression on Rosie's face. If you know Rosie, you know she is very uncomfortable with her body so to have her in this situation it's a miracle she could go through with it. Why isn't this movie on DVD? I want to buy it but wont until I can have the DVD.

Summary: Good view for those open to it.
Review: Ok, if you're looking for a good Anne Rice adaptation, stick to Interview with the Vampire since about all they kept from Rice's text were the names. If you are looking for a good comedy this is one to consider if you're open minded.The story centers around an "kinky" sex resort in which people go to fufil fantasies surrounding Sadomasochism (SM), Bondage/Discipline (BD), and Dominance/Submission (DS). Interwoven into this plot is a diamond smuggler out to kill plot which makes the film rather amusing. The cast of main characters is excellent. Dana Delaney portrays a young mistress who is terrified to step outside that role in reality. Paul Mercurio plays an Australian hunk who is getting in touch with his sexual desires and is hesitant to cross the threshold into that realm and admit he likes it. Rosie O'Donnel is an excellent cop with a nice wit and always ready to take a shot at with whomever. Aykroyd's character can be annoying at times, but he is fun to watch. The gong says it all. Props an costuming are excellent. The whips are provided by Heartwood Whips of Passion and unfortunatly were never used on anyone durng filming (their loss). Rosie O'Donnel gets a chance to show us a rare side and put on some "bondage" clothing. What is nice is she manages to do it very well for a woman who isn't an emaciated gerbil like some of the other twigs we see on the screen. If you are looking for a cutting edge comedy, go somewhere else. If you are looking for a comedy that is genuinely funny within its context, this is one you should consider checking out.

Summary: Dana is truly a princess in my life!
Review: I truly loved the movie, mainly because I have an almost childish crush on Dana Delany. I have a weakness for red hair anyway, and the scenes where she is shown coming out of the swimming pool made me so passionate for her, but depressed because it`s only a movie. I have almost all of the episodes of China Beach on tape that were recently shown on the History Channel, as well as the movie Live Nude Girls, and have tapes of all the Pasadena series thus far. Fate would be unbelievable for me to get to meet her but would love to have the chance to talk about my lingering visits to Cheshire, Naugatuck, and New London, Connecticut, and perhaps Fishers Island, N.Y. via the Groton Ferry. I`m sure our paths must have come close to each other at one point or another, but alas, I can only fantasize!! So I must be content withthe tapes, I guess.

Summary: Hummmmmmm!
Review: Only bought it because it has Stuart Wilson in it. He always makes the movie better! I thought it was rather ridiculous and if it had not been for Rosie O'Donnell, I didn't know she was in it, and Stuart Wilson, I would have given it a "1".

Summary: Good clean fun
Review: I found the entire concept funny; whether intentional or not, this movie does have some gags going for it, thanks to O'Donnell's wisecracks, Ackroyd's visual hamming, and the situational humor. I was pleased to see that it doesn't take itself as seriously (all the time) as some viewers expected. Lighten up, y'all! Equating a fairly mild fetish (at least as presented here, with glamourized sugar-coating and wink-wink-nudge-nudge abounding) with a serious "Alternative Lifestyle Choice" is just pompous. Maybe some people need to get over their preoccupations with their lower chakras? And speaking of which, any movie with the lovely Dana Delany au naturel automatically gains an extra star. Maybe two.

Summary: A Delightful Romp in a Forbidden Playground!
Review: This bright, light, delightful movie has too often been panned. It deserves more attention. Though not a definitive version of Anne Rice's original book, the movie serves it just about as well as a commercial film could. The SM scenes are toned down, but are hardly forgotten, and are treated with sympathy and imagination. The detective subplot, added for the film, is strong and humorous. Ackroyd (often unbearable) does well, and O'Donnell is quite strong--and funny--and sympathetic. The film does not cast judgement on its subject matter, nor does in impel that judgement on the viewer. Mercurio has that brilliance we have come to expect after "Strictly Ballroom." An adult entertainment, to be sure, but a worthy one.

Summary: Geez prudes, lighten up
Review: OK...let's get right to the point. This movie is not for the easily embarrassed and definitely not for children. It is funny and unexpected...at least at first viewing...and that makes it well worth seeing at least one time. The movie falters in that the director cannot make up his mind: is this a comedy? is this a thriller? is this soft porn? The lack of a consistent target leaves the viewer rather disoriented. Still...(and I read the bondage person's opinion earlier in the list of reviews)...the hairbrush scene is NOT TYPICAL for standard American films. My wife and I saw it first in a theater (on the first or second day of release), and there was NOT A SOUND during that scene...and I stole a quick enough glance around to see that everyone was glued to screen. Not too common an event for this sort of film. Finally...those of you who don't want to see an average sized woman in skimpy outfits need a reality check...Not everyone is a size 4 with plastic-surgeon enhanced breasts. Rosie is not my ideal "babe" but she sure as heck is real; and that is worth something, too.

Summary: This film is pathetic!
Review: Dan Ackroyd & Rosie o Donnell of all people took part in this shameless film about two undercover cops who travel to some sort of exotic lsland with it's inhabinets devoted to gratifying sadomacstic sexual fantasies. Unbelivably bad comedy that will make the viewer wanna make a head start towards the exit. This type of film will only appeal to people who have a sick and twisted personalty.
