3.0 out of 5 stars
A bit soft, March 9, 2006
This review is from: Dieux du Stade: Making of 2005 Calendar (DVD)
These sexy rugby guys have the bods, but they are surprizingly shy infront the cameras - with regards to the 'safe' film camera positions. It must take a lot of guts to bare all infront of about ten crew members, so once there...why not flaunt all. Some of the guys were prepared to let a hand slide from the crotch area, which reveals a bit more than the calender. Mostly they are a shy bunch. The DVD offers a selection for English viewers. There is however no subtitles and barely any dialogue. It would have been interesting to see and hear how the guys experienced the photo shoots. At times the music soundtrack is bit cheesy and irritating. Also there is a lot of repeating in a sequence - to make it appear longer or more seductive perhaps? A great plus would have been to see the final results of the shoots - the Calender!
To sum it up: It is a 3-dimentional version of the calender with cheesy music.
Enjoy!

Stunning Stade, October 19, 2005
This review is from: Dieux du Stade: Making of 2005 Calendar (DVD)
Beautifully filmed which made one feel you were part of the camera team. Such stunning men, perfect features,toned physiques and happy personalities - you want to hug them all!!
Pity there was no sound track, even if the French could not always be understood it would be nice to put a voice to the man.
The black & white sections added a different dimension to the film.

Lots Of Buns, NO Corndogs, & Not Enough Franks!, January 10, 2006
This review is from: Dieux du Stade: Making of 2005 Calendar (DVD)
Yes, all these men are beautiful, but there are (very quick) full frontal shots of perhaps 4 models TOTAL not 48! And it would be a bit of an exaggeration to call them the "Swinging Bratwurst" shots, but they were nice.
95% of the time there's a hand, sock, knee, table, or another stupid model blocking the view. Better titles for these DVDs would be "Viva La Bootie!" or "Rugby Players Know How 2 Handle Zee B@lls".
The models often seem uncomfortable with their nudity. Which is understandable. And some of the poses are provocative.
This version is nicer than the 2004 DVD and it's in color not B&W. The 2006 version is apparently even more disappointing than either 2004 or 2005.
The most charming part of this DVD was the number of times the camera saw these guys sneak-a-peek to "check out the competion". Male insecurity running rampant is so sweet.
