2.0 out of 5 stars
Barely worth watching, October 29, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Barely Brooke (DVD)
Unless you live and breath for Brooke, skip this DVD and just watch the E! version on TV... the 10 minutes bonus footage is more of the same, and the production values are almost non-existent. Too boring to be entertaining, too tame to be titillating (despite having posed for Playboy, Brooke doesn't give us a peek) -- I'd recommend a nice Sports Illustrated Swimsuit video if you're looking for PG-13 babe entertainment.

Who exactly is this video for?, December 28, 2002
This review is from: Barely Brooke (DVD)
Brooke Burke. Lovely girl. Can't act. Probably can't sing or dance, either. All she can do is look hot in a swimsuit, but she does that very well.
Problem is, this DVD isn't terribly interesting. It plays like an episode of Showtime's "Red Shoe Diaries", except without any titillating elements. All you get is the goofy music, exotic yet curiously drab locales, slo-mo effects of her walking along the beach, road, or whatever, and a lot of pretentious voice-over narration.
Not too many years ago, Brooke exuded a deliciously sexy pixie-ish quality. But now she is a tad overexposed, pun intended. An all-nude Playboy layout in 2001 revealed her newly ripped and bosom-enhanced body, but failed to capture the sexuality that made her so remarkable in her earlier modeling years.
This DVD is another confusing step in her quest to be the ubiquitous Uber-babe. But it is too much style, not enough substance. You really would need to be a die-hard Brooke junkie to be pleased with this disc. It is "too much" and "not enough" all at the same time.
I was quite taken with Brooke when I first discovered her around 1995. So it pains me quite a bit to have to say less-than-flattering things about this vanity project of hers. But this video seems to have little purpose other than just getting her face on your TV screen. And the superfluous Enrique Eglasias video at the end? Cheesy.

disappointed, April 7, 2003
This review is from: Barely Brooke (DVD)
Bottom line, it [stinks]...I dont see how anyone could enjoy this unless the type of person that would stalk her..Didn't hold My attention for more than 10 minutes.
Don't waste your money.
