Absolutely Fantastic
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
I have looked at this movie at least forty times. It is sheer pleasure. Lots of laughs. I enjoyed seeing Dana Delaaney in a very different role than I have usually seen her. Paul Mercurio too I had only seen before in his profession as a dancer. He is a superb dancer.At first I was surprised at the extent of nudity, but then realized, how else could they depict the island. Both Dana and Paul have great looking bodies and get to show them off throughout the movie. Paul's outstanding butt is highlighted in a scene between the two of them.Clever was the scene involving the buttered croissants. Really good flick!!! JFC
This is one of the 'what were they thinking' films that you just know all participants look back on like a bad drunken performance at a wedding. The jewel theft storyline is really only an excuse to showcase alternative lifestyle acceptance and Rosie ODonnell one liners. Even the nudity and sexual content, while mostly good, is not nearly strong enough to redeem in any way this movie. If you want to waste everyones time with an overview of the S/M lifestyle, who cares. But to have it then all narrated (execessively) by un-un-unfunny Rosie ODonnell with apparent ad-libs if you can believe it, is a migrainal experience that will have you personally blacklist any other movies by all parties involved. Another bicarbonate if you would, Jeeves.
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.
The book far surpasses the movie, especially since it was not intended to be a comedy. Why is it that every one of Anne Rice's books have been thoroughly screwed over in its movie form? Oh well. As a comedy, I'd say that the movie was okay, but still not quite up to par.Okay, now with that said... I think that the acting was good. The funny parts were funny, and the dramatic parts were dramatic. It was a bit weird for me to see some of the actors being sexual and erotic, because I had never seen them in rolls like that before. So, overall, I think this was a good comedic movie. But I really wish they had kept to the book, because the book really was (and still is) a piece of art. Then again, if they had kept ENTIRELY to the book, the movie would have to be rated X...
