Pros: good looking chicks, exotic locales, waterfall sex, bonus scenes

Cons: weird lenses, doesn't inspire me to review it, grungy tattooed dude pulled from a crowd, fails to be as good as it looks, sent to chapter menu, 5 minutes of lull, which chick is which?

Features: two good bonus sex scenes, boring behind the scenes

Overall:
Since this DVD has been reviewed by others on this site I will skip elaborate detail and focus on the points that I would like to make.

Despite the good looking women and the exotic locales I had a difficult time getting inspired by this film and I am not sure why. It may be because it seemed like the images were at times slightly distorted by the camera. Things looked longer and narrower than they should. It may be that the attempts at quality overshadowed the real substance. Music overshadowed the sounds of sex. It may be that Sex Island already quenched my desire for this type of porn. In other words, it's just not as good as Sex Island. It may also be the five minutes of lull when people danced. It just tends to miss. And what was with that grungy tattooed guy involved in a sex scene? (Director: "I think this movie may look a little too exotic. Go to Sturgis and find me a guy for this sex scene.")

This DVD also disappoints from a technical standpoint. After around the 14th chapter I was bounced back to the scene selection menu.

The two bonus sex scenes saved this DVD from a completely mediocre review. I found them to be much more enjoyable than the feature. Why? Most likely because the sounds of sex replaced the music. Sex was put in the limelight and director's 'artistry' was put on hold.

The behind the scenes segment was completely boring.

Bottom line: Bonus sex scenes were better than the film and contribute significantly to my overall ranking. Decent background porn, but grows tiresome when watched in its entirety.
