Director Francisco de Lombardi fills his sensual film with plenty of gorgeous shots of the lush landscape and its equally exotic, miniskirted 'fauna.'

This film might've fared better if those involved realized how fiercely their material begs for a plunge into the deep end.
Nick Rutigliano, Village Voice
Rotten
A pedestrian film that provides little more than a superficial treat.
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Promises to skewer sexual politics but instead turns out to be a one-joke pony.
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
Wears one down with a long running time and diminishing returns on its wicked premise.
