Captivating movie !

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

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

Exit to Eden.. gets a BUM rap from people that are narrow minded and do not have a clue what the movie was really about!! The "Lifestyle" that this movie was written about really exists. Maybe NOT to the point of a awesome island as in the movie, but there are a LARGE group of people out there in the world that LIVE that style of life. Exit to Eden touched on MANY true facts about the "lifestyle" and did a good job. It straight forwardly explained what the different roles are in the life of Dominates and submissives. Inside EVERYONE is a desire to be either one or the other. Some act out on it, others don't. (because they are afraid to!!) The "lifestyle" is not about sex, its about "power exchange" All of this was addressed in the movie.Those of you that do not understand this, and were looking for more "entertainment" were so busy wanting to be amused, that they missed the whole point of the movie. It was nice to see something so "vanilla" to come out and TRY to explain what others already know.GREAT movie.. Well done, funny, serious, and pretty complete, especially since they were trying to stay within the "vanilla" realm. NOT everything in the movie was "true to form" of the "lifestyle" but it sure touched a lot of things that were.Secretary was another good movie that portrays "the lifestyle". It was more real to life than you would imagine. So those of you that are naysayers.. don't you dare watch THAT one.. hahah it would give you something to "complain" about.Mistress Ladynite

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 have seen many of the uber bad movies on the bottom 100: You Got Served, Glitter etc and I think this movie is up there with them. You Got Served and Glitter are obviously bad, but this movie is subtly the worst movie I have ever seen. I think that after Basic Instinct some Hollywood exec thought: "Hmm this is the next big thing, mainstream movies with tons of nudity and sex!" The problem with this thought is that a)that wasn't the next big thing and b) this movie has none of the traits of a mainstream movie. The acting in this movie is horrendous, aside from Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd who play second fiddle to a couple of porn rate actors, the plot is awkward because it has to squeeze in so much sex and the directing kind of feels like a porn movie. The plot is the worst part, in my opinion, there are two distinct plots in the movie that intersect a couple of times and finally conclude concurrently. Nothing all that unusual there, but both plots are so meaningless and free from suspense that the only plot device evident is the switch between soft core sex scenes to Dan and Rosie standing around waiting for something to happen. The only reason to watch this movie is if you really need to see some nudity, and even the sex scenes are nothing special. Most are just standard soft core porn, only in order to pass it off as a "mainstream movie" even those are cut short. I vaguely remembered when this movie came out and I was pretty excited when it came on HBO, but it was so bad that I could barely go to sleep. If you have any choice in the matter WATCH SOMETHING ELSE!
