Critics' Reviews

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
As light as a feather, as fresh as spring, and as lubricious as a centerfold... There is something extroverted and refreshing in the way these women enjoy their beauty and their sexiness.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Desson Thomson
So resoundingly awful, there may be grounds to sue for mental suffering.Read Full Review »
