Amazon.co.uk Review
Runaway Bay, an infamous Jamaican pleasure-seeker's resort, is the location for
Playboy's Girls of Hedonism, a luxuriously sun-kissed release intimately focusing on some of Playboy's most beautiful women. The line-up includes Lucie Faubert, Nina Camille, Lisa Wagner, Sydney Moon, Selena Sylva, Brandee Sky Beauregard, Kat Oberle, Stacie Morrissette and Dawn McFall. The glossy style is somewhere between a luxury holiday show and an 18-rated MTV. Seven segments feature the girls alone, in duos or trios, in two sequences with a guy, and finally in a rather under-populated rave, all set to a drivetime soundtrack. It's not a reality TV vision of what actually goes on (or comes off) at the Hedonism III resort, and the smoothly choreographed sequences have as much to do with real sex as a Warner Bros. cartoon has to do with rabbits. Nevertheless the label knows how to deliver its eye-candy and the polished video style is a winning fantasy formula. The surroundings are as beautiful as the women and there's enough variety to keep fans of
Playboy's American Beauties fully satisfied.
On the DVD: Playboy's Girls of Hedonism has a 4:3 picture that's very clear, sharp and detailed, with excellent colour. The sound is good stereo which makes the most of the various tunes on the soundtrack. There's a routine photo gallery, a trailer, a longer trailer posing as "Bonus Footage", trailers for four other Playboy DVDs, and a competition which expired in 2001. --Gary S Dalkin
