Synopsis:
This is Adam & Eve's sixth stop on the vacation you wish you had. This time around, they are visiting the beautiful island state of Hawaii. In a travel video that would raise the ratings of the Travel Channel sky high, Luc Wylder brings to you the best Hawaii has to offer. After a sexual pit stop at their hotel room, it is off to the jungles, beaches and waters of Hawaii.

Video/Audio:
Sex Across America: Sixth Stop — Hawaii is presented in a full screen aspect ratio, 1.33:1, which appears to be the original aspect ratio for the film. The picture is clear with no artifacts or blemishes. The picture is slightly soft and was probably filmed on video tape. The color levels are perfectly set.

The available audio track is a 2.0 English Stereo track, which works well for the film. Given the nature of the film, the audio track is all that should be expected. There are points where the music can mask what is being said. No other language tracks and no subtitle options are available.

Chapters/Time Code:
There are six chapters available from the main menu for Sex Across America: Sixth Stop — Hawaii. They are identified with a video loop from the scene they correspond to. The chapters allow for decent navigation in finding the scene that you want. There is no time code for this feature, so using the chapter menu is your only means of navigation for finding a place on the disc.

Special Features:
Adam & Eve has put a few extras on the disc and some of them even have to do with the feature film. The available previews are for Amateur Angels, Forbidden Lust, and Sex Across America 7. The Photo Gallery, or Slide Show as it is called on the disc, contains 40 pictures from the film. The Behind the Scenes piece is the best extra on the disc and a must watch. It is a fun 32 minute piece that shows outtakes and much fluff, it has no real information, but is definitely worth a watch. There are also Biographies containing a short text write-up with some information, mostly fluff, for Alexandra Silk, Kate Frost, T.J. Hart, and Summer Storm. Company Info lists the Adam & Eve websites. Set-Up contains a color bar test for those who want to set the television color correctly for the film. For those who know how to use the bars this will give you the proper color for this one film. One should note that other films may look off as every film have slightly different color levels. Optimode Glasses can also be used with this feature for setting the color correctly.

Review:
In the sixth entry into Adam & Eve's Sex Across America series, they have combined hot girls with hot locations for a winning combination. The cast is good looking and is definitely having fun with what they are doing and it shows.

In the sex scenes there is a huge amount of variety throughout the film and the scenes don't come across as preplanned. The sex looks natural and not mechanical. Although a few of the scenes have harder sex, this film should still appeal to couples. The sexual themes present in the film are oral vaginal and anal sex with lesbian scenes, male to female rimming and DP. When making the film, Adam & Eve found some beautiful locations to use around Hawaii. There is a good balance of indoor and outdoor scenes so they don't get repetitive.

As this is a gonzo style production, there are some problems with the film. Most notable is the backlighting issue. In some scenes, the crew forgot to check the location of the sun and the cast is hard to see. The audio levels vary in the film as well. These kinds of issues should be expected in this kind of film and therefore shouldn't upset the viewer too much.

The on screen pop shot icon is annoying and unfortunately there is no way to shut it off. The feature was a good idea by Adam & Eve, but, as they have done in other releases, they should have given the viewer a way to turn off the icon if desired.

The Money Shot:
Sex Across America: Sixth Stop — Hawaii is a well done gonzo style film. If you enjoy watching people having fun with each other and don't require a plot, this is a film for you. The film is lighthearted fare that should be enjoyed by couples. Viewers who like extremely nasty sex, high production values, or a plot should look elsewhere.
