Garry Marshall, the man behind Pretty Woman, has made two movies here. One is based on Anne Rice's erotic novel of a fantasy island where dreams are fulfilled and sexuality is open to all, led by a congenial dominatrix (Dana Delany) and a glowing new recruit (Paul Mercurio of Strictly Ballroom). The other is a farcical comedy-action movie, which is what you saw in the ads. Savoy Pictures must have been unsure of to how to market the movie, and they pushed the secondary action of pop songs, needless narration, and even a few noticeable dubs. Amazingly, though, the film works by the end as a guilty pleasure, thanks to the four principals. Delany finally ripples on the big screen, Rosie O'Donnell has her first confident work since A League of Their Own, Dan Aykroyd becomes a comic mainstay, and best of all is Mercurio. The brooding stud is a delight, and is sure to launch a million fans as the loverboy who finds a sweet love story. Agreeable stuff if you really want Rice's erotic novels turned into cute TV-ish comedies. With, as always, Hector Elizondo. --Doug Thomas

- Exit to Eden
One of my old favorites from Cinemax, it was something new and different back then.And it was funny to see Rosie O'Donnell play straight again.

- We're the only two people on this island without handcuffs
What were they thinking? Perhaps director Garry Marshall thought he could do for S&M what he'd done for the women of the evening in Pretty Woman. Wrap up an edgy topic in a big cute bow, and through humor make it palatable, even entertaining, to the masses. But you thought wrong Mr. Marshall. Actually, it is a surprisingly entertaining movie, it is just that most of the humor is unintentional. You can't believe the movie got green lighted when it was so obviously doomed to be a disaster.

Rating: - Titillating Tripe
I first viewed this movie on HBO or something several years ago and was quite intrigued by the plot premise.My opinion is that this COULD have been an interesting and stimulating exploration of human kink...(but NOOOOOOOOO).I thought the movie began to explore and illustrate some of the mental and emotional aspects of a dominant/submissive relationship and found the scene of bondage and light discipline exciting and exhilerating. But then....the meddling hands of Gary Marshall et al, turned Ms. ... Read More
