Exit to Eden [DVD]

Don't worry guys, as much as you liked the fact that rosie o'donell didnt get naked you'd be happy to know she doesnt even like men. She's gay and i dont blame her. Next, the resort is not for desperate people, they actually have resorts like that in real life where sexually open people with open minds can go vacation there without being surrounded by narrow minded prude judgemental people that are in the cities we live in. It's like a nude beach, and it's an opportunity given to those people who like to express themselves freely, and people who don't have a problem with their sexuality. That makes you guys hypocrits because remember you're the ones with playboy mag's and strip clubs and pornos. It's amazing how stereotypical men can be. When women express themselves sexually, we're the desperate ones? Yeah ok. Don't think so. But back to the movie. it's a funny flick about two undercover cops trying to locate a couple criminals on an island that is sort of like S & M, bondage type activities and basically whatever you wanna do. My favorite is the dominatrix who is an attractive red headed woman (Dana Delany who was also in the movie tombstone) but anyway it's an ADULT comedy and i use to watch this movie EXIT TO EDEN years ago, and rosie o donell lost a whole bunch of weight to do this movie because she had to wear the leather outfit and strip at a club at the beginning. She isn't even that big BUT whatever. I've seen bigger chicks than her. She's a funny gal and a good actress. But like i said the best character is the dominatrix, and my favorite scene was when she spanked eliot as he was tied up. Her character is very believable and she's a great actress. I didn't mind seeing her naked either. But once again, at least in the movie they tested everyone for std's and they do that in real life also, but men who go out and pick up hollywood hookers is the most desperate act of all, and then they go home and give their wives the diseases and often it's unfortunate when the kids get hiv infected too in a sploppy household when they all share shavers. But as far as this harmless movie, I thought theere was nothing wrong with the resort. It's merely a place where you can go and explore your sexual side because men and women are both sexual beings, and when you're safe about it, no one has any right to judge, especially when you're out in the world doing God only knows what and then pointing fingers at women who have a right to engage in sexual activites also. It's a pot calling the kettle black. Then you wonder why women turn lesbian, it's because of all your little ways guys! We're called nams like slut, and desperate if we go to strip joints or watch pornos. It's a sad stereotypical world we live in where men are hung up on notions that pornos are for men to j*rk off too, and that women arent suppose to watch them. Open your eyes, we have sexual desires too! And now after reading my post you're probably labeling me a gay feminist but i'm not, it's the world. Everyone is so brainwashed. To each his or her own.As far as Rosie, geez it sounds like you guys have a sexual obsession with her subconsciously because the dude that wrote about her in his review sounds to me like you need some therapy to get over her. When someone is that obsessed and makes comments about how much he or she is disgusted, it sounds like an overreacting exaggeration, kinda like some homo-phobes who are actually gay but subconsiously arent out of the closet yet. And also, be careful what you say about people you dont know, if peopple arent your type so be it, but alot of these whiny p*ssy boys on amazon complaining about rosie than dont watch it! get over it lol. It's such an exaggeration about her leather dominatrix outfit and her weight. She looked fine in the outfit! You're just so brainwashed about women's figures, not everyone is anorexic and a size 1. She may be a little chubby but all this hate and judging wont getcha anywhere in life. Also rosie is a good person. She helps out children in need, and has done many charities and donations. And as far as the "she's so annoying" comments. You have a right to your opinion but that's her personality, and her accent in this movie gave her a big city attitude, and that was her character, she was suppose to be spunky and funny. And if you really wanna know why they put her in the leather outfit, basically to shock the narrowminded world, and it was only meant to be humorous, and to show that she had the balls to do it, despite her size which isnt even that huge. I use to have a friend that was 2 times bigger. And after rosie came out and said she was gay even though many thought so before hand, her reason was she didn't "TRUST MEN" and every woman can understand that. And as for this being a porno, no, not even. Some nudity, only one sexually explicit scene that only lasted 30 seconds. You'd think that this day and age people would be more tolerant when it comes to sex. Sex is not a big deal unless you're a religious fanatic, prude, or a nun, then you dont have to watch this type of movie. And for the person who said whoever liked this movie is sick and twisted. Maybe one day when you're all grown up you'll understand what we adults consider humorous and entertainment until then go to the children's section at your local video store.

An easily forgettable film, some would have you believe. As a big fan of Dana DeLaney, Dan Aykroyd and Rosie O'Donnell, I just had to see it again to remember. I actually saw Exit to Eden in the theater when it first appeared, and promptly forgot about it.At that first viewing of Exit to Eden, DeLaney's character made me uncomfortable. My previous exposure to the actress was through her role as Army nurse Colleen McMurphy in the TV series China Beach. There wasn't much not to love about her McMurphy character. Her Lisa Emerson character in "Exit" seemed to be the exact opposite of her China Beach character, through gross assumption.And by gross assumption I mean my quick-to-judge reaction to what her character was in the "Exit" film: a Madam (Mistress) of a thinly disguised high-class BDSM-themed "resort". My assumption was that Ms Emerson was intended to be a stereotypical "madam".Not so, I am thinking now.Lisa Emerson of "Exit" has much in common with Colleen McMurphy of "China". Both spent much of their screen time either performing triage or rendering first aid: to victims of combat trauma in McMurphy's case and to the victims of deficient upbringing (sexual inhibitions) in Emerson's case.The BDSM theme of "Exit" is what derailed me the first time in recognizing this similarity. This may be what derails many other would-be fans, as well.OK, and both characters are gorgeous, too...Maybe another thing that derails some folks is the relative lack of screen time afforded Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd, despite their high billing. Dan is his often-played Joe Friday/Elwood Blues hybrid, and Rosie is, well, Rosie. I love them both; but, sadly, not enough of them are in this movie.That may actually be a real benefit, though. I believe the major story line of this movie is carried well enough by the Lisa Emerson/Elliot Slater (Paul Mercurio) relationship. The story line may have been better served with a set-up played by lesser known actors, but I always enjoy watching Dan and Rosie work.I think, too, that there's always a heart to Garry Marshall's films, and this is no exception. It may be that if you find yourself in the "thumbs-down" camp on this one, then you may do yourself proud to examine your own level of inhibition on matters of a sexually intimate nature. I believe the message here is that everyone harbors incorrect beliefs about themselves and about others; but there is lots of fun to be had finding out how wrong you have been.I don't think the film is saying that BDSM play is necessarily the answer to all sexual inhibition, either; it just provided a jarring and effective way to illustrate the nearly universal need to overcome it.And, oh yes, it provided a welcome excuse to see, ah, more of Dana DeLaney... Well done!

I saw this years ago when it first came out and while it deviated from the book, the movie was funny and watchable.You'd think people were thinking this was supposed to be an Oscar contender, by the way they whine about this movie. Get over it.It doesn't take itself seriously, its lighthearted and nearly every critic skips over the Golden Gem of advice this movie gets 100% correct about BDSM, (where most all others fail, especially Fifty Shades of NoWay, Nope and NotTodaySatan).And that is the all important message of Safe, Sane and Consensual.The core of any BDSM book or movie should reiterate this motto repeatedly, because too many people get this so very wrong.Seller had excellent communication and dvd was in excellent condition.Sorry for delayed FB, I've been super busy.

I truly loved the movie, mainly because I have an almost childish crush on Dana Delany. I have a weakness for red hair anyway, and the scenes where she is shown coming out of the swimming pool made me so passionate for her, but depressed because it`s only a movie. I have almost all of the episodes of China Beach on tape that were recently shown on the History Channel, as well as the movie Live Nude Girls, and have tapes of all the Pasadena series thus far. Fate would be unbelievable for me to get to meet her but would love to have the chance to talk about my lingering visits to Cheshire, Naugatuck, and New London, Connecticut, and perhaps Fishers Island, N.Y. via the Groton Ferry. I`m sure our paths must have come close to each other at one point or another, but alas, I can only fantasize!! So I must be content withthe tapes, I guess.

Didn't live up to its advertising

Perfect, as new. Fast shipping.

Excellent good slapstick humour

I was very disapointed with this product....I just finished reading the book, and very much enjoyed the book, I was very excited and looking forward to getting the movie. the movie was disappointing from the start to end, for some reason they changed the real meaning of the book, they tried to add dry Humour too the story, and in the process changed the experience the movie is based on. I believe there is an original movie out there that is more true to the book, if that is what you want to see,,,,, THEN DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE

Hubiera deseado tanto que esta película estuviera subtitulada al español, que ha sido una compra inútil, aunque la vea no puedo disfrutarla porque no entiendo el ingles. Creo que no volveré a comprar aquí.
