I am NOT a big fan of professional critics. I don't believe they represent the majority of the population. having read exit to Eden by Anne Rice the only way they could do the book absolute justice is to make the film and it would be X rated I only available in adult bookstores. Dana Delaney and Paul Mercurio have a chemistry akin to Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. as a plot twist instead of Elliot leaving the island mistress Lisa goes after him. the movie decide that they both just take off. I believe the important characters in the book were left out and instead dan Aykroyd and Rosie O'Donnell brought in to bring the quirky comedy to balance out the seriousness of S&M lifestyle. I actually believe this movie would he be even better without the nudity, but it is the nature of the beast to entertain with such a storyline. I strongly suggest reading the book first then you will inherently understand the comedy and the quirkiness appreciate this movie for what it is..... entertaining and funny.

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

When Tom Snyder had his talk show on cable years ago,they did a segment on this movie a lot of couples approved of it.Some were saying it helped their romance,as well as their relationships.But the makers of this movie failed to overlook something here.God Himself,and The written facts in the bible Worship God only.Mistresses,have become a world wide network.Many of them proclaiming themselves goddesses and demand to be worshiped.Gods 1st Commandment,Thou Shalt Not Have No Other gods Before Me.Also pertains to false gods,false goddesses,and so many who expect to be worshiped.Even in history former figures like Zeus,Apollo,Venus Athena and the list goes on.All of these so called gods,goddesses,and all those who expect to be worshiped have one thing in common.They are all mortal human beings,as was Zeus and so many others.When revelation finally does come,we may not be here too witness it It can happen a hundred years from now,nobody knows the exact time but God Himself.God is slow to anger and quick to forgive,but even churches rarely mention that Our God is a Jealous God.I doubt it I will see revelation in my life time,but if it come to pass,I'd love too see God set His world straight on His Ten Commandments,most especially His 1st Commandent.Amen

I went to see the film for one reason-- Dana Delany. She's a helluva an actress and omigod, what a beautiful body! Damn Hollywood for not having more opportunities for beautiful talented actresses to be nude on camera for extended times! Given the pre-release bashing Anne Rice gave INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, one would think she would have been positively berserk at this film. But apparently she enjoyed the film! She admitted that her original text would probably have been difficult to film. Definitely should have had more nudity in it, though. This film strikes me as Garry Marshall's counterpart to Don Knott's THE LOVE GOD. He wants to be adult, he wants to be naughty, but in the end he retreats to the safety of burlesques and pratfalls.
