A few good scenes, but ...
I thought I'd see more "software"
Solid

horrendous
Low budget, but high entertainment!
I love this movie. it's so cool

NOT BAD PRETTY GIRLS AND LOTS OF ACTIONThe acting is not bad at all, I think.
SEE KIM YATES DO A STRIPPER DANCEFor me, the best part was seeing the soft core star Kim Yates do an exotic dancer routine.
Gian is G-orgeous!

standard fare Video CalendarA majority of the Playmates here haven't appeared in any other DVDs, so most of them are not well known. Anna Nicole Smith is probably the most well-known of the ladies, but I'm not much of a fan of hers.
The other blondes on this DVD are really hot, like Kimberly Donley, Barbara Moore and Tiffany Sloan (who both have also appeared on the Wet & Wild Locker Room DVD), and Ashley Allen (also seen on the Girls of Hawaiian Tropic DVD). Echo Johnson and Nicole Wood are also blondes who have decent video segments here.
The lovely Asian Playmate, Morena Corwin, makes her debut here, and she appears in many Playboy DVDs, like Blue Collar Babes DVD and Asian Exotica DVD.
We also get to see two lovely brunettes in Jennifer LeRoy and Alesha Oreskovich, who only appear on this Playboy DVD. Amanda Hope is a lovely redhead, and Stephanie Adams is a perky African-American Playmate.
It's not a great DVD, as it's much shorter in length than the newest 80+ minute 2000 and 2001 Video Calendars, but if you're looking for a good collection of beautiful women, this is a nice choice that you can't go wrong with.
Another Classic

AIR(port 1975) + Speed (2) = Airspeed
Not Just Any Airplane Movie!!!!!

not worth the money
Interesting and entertaining.

Quiet Man Rip, yeah right...
What do you get when you cross International PlayboyWe begin this lovely trip through the last bastion of stereotypes that the mention of which still gets a laugh, instead of a cap being popped in your a$$....the white Southern male. We begin with Forrest Tucker, all hopped up on Old Forrester I suppose, beating the hell out of another 65 year old character actor that is enjoying getting beat up more than anyone I've ever seen. Actually it's the same guy that played the down and out boxer who was always getting whipped and losing his eyesight but ironically had no other means of paying his doctor bills so he had to keep fighting anyway. Makes sense to me. A few minutes later Forrest continues to make us all proud by dropping the top on his red convertible, and knocking down most of a pint of whiskey as he zips through a number of school zones on his way home to grab him a handful of the little lady, played juicily by a still gorgeous Julie Adams. Very nimbly, with yet another glass of whiskey in one hand, and Julie's rapidly unbuttoning blouse in the other hand he is informed that they are having "green beans" for dinner...all of a sudden his lust is diverted to pork chops and so he pats his wife on the ass as she dutifully, and mercifully trots off to rustle up some dinner. Scuse me, I mean supper--dinner is lunch down here. But before the supper bell rings, Forrest gets a call to advise him that one of the Rhodes Scholars that works for his trucking company had a head on collision as he crashed through a RR barrier, but he was relieved to hear he beat the train with some nifty driving, thus validating why they must have hired the guy in the first place. The driver survived though and one can only speculate that the brain damage he suffered could not have been such a terribly tragic thing. Hang on, that's just the first 5 minutes.
SPOILERS AHEAD. You had to expect that though, I have to share.
Jethro/Culver has a chip on his shoulder from his own personal stereotyping, and the fact that he had to wear a rope for a belt all those years. No vittles here, just the old man's daughter. Oooohhh, this is going to get ugly. And he displays none of the range we were so accustomed too on the Beverly Hillbillies. Takes this writer/director/star thing a little too seriously I think, that could be the reason old man McCulloch hates him so much. Or it could be that statutory rape thing with the 18 yr old daughter? You just know that the old man wants to punch our fledgling brain surgeon in his medula obadala but he is a very classy guy so he defers so he can go spar with his 16 yr old son. Plenty of drunken drag racing, drunken hay riding, and drunken strip poker, and more drunken ass whooping to go around. And if you're a fan of the "beating up your kids is the only way to make them a man" genre you will love this thing.
I won't reveal any of the good parts (giggle snort) but the highlight of the movie is a "homeric" showdown/street brawl, Culver vs. McCulloch and a major, big time ripoff of the Quiet Man complete with odds savvy old ladies, gambling/guzzling priests, and even an old man on his death bed who is miraculously resuscitated by the sound of whooping and hollering as one more right cross lands on it's target. Oh yeah, the contestants even stop to have a beer before resuming the slugfest. I'm not going to tell you who wins the fight but considering Ellie May used to tie Jethro up like a pretzel everytime he'd complain about her biscuits...well, it's the high spot of the (gulp) film so I'll keep that one secret. Clint Eastwood likewise rips off Jethro in Any Which Way You Can. I'm dangerously close to surpassing my vast film knowledge here so I better not draw any more parallels OK?
Believe it or not, the DVD transfer is fantastic and the soundtrack rivals movies like Giant and Hurry Sundown. It's very, very good Jethrine. I like this movie. Somebody slap me but I like this thing. It's really very funny. I've actually never been so hammered that I forgot the words to Old McDonald but in McCullochWorld your punishment is getting dumped out of the bed of a pickup to have your wife turn the sprinklers on you as you simulate a coma on the front lawn. 4 Stars, only cause they just don't make em' like this anymore.


Would Give Zero Stars if Possible
The secret life of woman
Hilarious!!

Stupid, dumb, pointless.
Worth seeingJoe (Matthew Perry) is a process server who delivers legal papers and has a clueless life (makes wine at home but never seems to get it right for once). One day he serves elusive Sara (Elizabeth Hurley). But he has no idea what that was about and going to change his life and his Vineyard dream.
It's unquestionable there are some vulgar, absurd, "sad" moments in the movie; yet these numerous "tragic" events are there only to push the theme even further. Some direction here too may only be so much arduous as its succinctness and directness approaches the near "ancient" tragedy in the sense of Romans and Greeks. Much of it has to be sour, salty, melancholy in order to remove in the process some. As far as screen play goes there are some moments of pause and poetic inter-weavings do connect some loose moments and recovers for the audience some sense of momentum in the direction. Such scene as Joe pursuing Sara in the mid-town Manhattan, the plot-factoring by a "painting" (or life-size "canvas") which divides Joe and Sara, the secondary "key-tossing" between Joe and Sara, the inflection point of Sara's English accent, Elizabeth Hurley's sensitive character-to-real-life juxtaposition, no longer get the same disinterested response from me (so as the scenes involving the romance between Sara and Joe). Everything in this movie somehow coalesces into a well-posed juxtaposition of characters. Some ambitious raillery such as scene involving "Bull's Hind" is a recapitulation against the salt and sour humor and perhaps a reconfiguration of figures (many vulgar scenes with buffoons or "comedians": now the ersatz version, "bull") in the context. If early English/Roman/Greek theaters had not been accused of its comic folly it has now been redeemed somewhat by such carefree and modern association.
A vindication of comedy can go a long way. Likewise the tragedy, its comic errors and sadness, many trivial interludes, the intermixing of judiciousness and absurdity, a modern screen play might want to extend itself further into an abandonment and perhaps the very absurdity itself. But this movie, Serving Sara, is a classy one with "classic" (sensitive, caring, vulnerable) actors (Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley). Its supporting casts too are great. Every detail in this movie is weighed and measured with great care. The chain of events that are led to the final getting-together of Joe and Sara in the Vineyard are portrayed with rationale good enough to be called a poetic justice (the fact Joe's dream has come true). Even to the very ending, there is a tight grip of humanity in the material. This movie is a questionable masterpiece with good workmanship and artistry.
Loved itI really loved Elizabeth Hurley, her BEING there, against all odds and appearances. Some tragic sadness is of small consequence when the movie later alters life without meaning to life with some meaning.
There were quite a few attractive girls here, but many were small-chested. If you have a preference for smaller women, you might enjoy this one. I don't remember seeing any Playmates or any other Playboy models. Most of the girls here were unknowns.
There were several scenes here, maybe 12 or 13, and some were cut together really short. One really cute Asian girl had a 1 minute segment only.
Another Playboy DVD that is worth a rental, but not worthy of buying and keeping in my collection.
