Product Description

Ready for an admittedly tawdry but sexy melodramatic romp through sun-drenched Brazil with two hot men? Does Saved by the Bell s A.C. and Zack locking lips and loins on a white-sanded beach turn you on? Then this is the DVD for you. Muscle-god Erik and his two German friends spend their days snorkeling, watching Brazilian soaps and, when money is tight, making hot love in front of a live webcam. When a sexual tryst on the beach becomes violent, it ends in the death of Erik s nameless trick. Miguel, a fresh-faced TV actor, arrives on the scene and the two fall in love, but Erik s secret guilt haunts the relationship. A sensual, pulpy blend of youth, desire, love, and fate.

1.0 out of 5 stars Real disappointing, April 5, 2007

By	Michael L. Wiersma "ksmichael" (Springfield, MA United States) - See all my reviews

The cover art for this flick is fantastic. It is the highlight of the film.

There is a nothing story about three guys into Internet porn, making music, eating, and hanging around looking beautiful in Speedos. There is a murder subplot, which is laughably filmed, like the rest of the movie. All of it is poorly done, poorly pieced together, and totally unsatisfying.

It might be worth a rental to check it out. I would suggest you keep your finger on the fast forward button. No need to read the subtitles; the dialog barely matters. Generally, I'd recommend investing my time in something else.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing w/ meager story, April 27, 2007

By	Kai Kay (Dayton, OH) - See all my reviews

This was not a good film. The premise is less interesting than it sounds and the thin strands of story aren't plausible or that interesting. While the acting was ok (not great) and there were some attractive men on screen, it just wasn't a good enough storyline to be interesting. The central event that provides the conflict for the plot is somewhat confusing and the connection of the two lovers not believable.
I think this studio can do better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice Cover, July 27, 2007

By	T. C. Bowman (Kalamazoo, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think if I brought a couple of the cuties home from the bar, pulled out my camcorder, went on an exotic vacation, and used my Pinnacle editing program, I could have made a better movie. Cute guys, the rest was a mess.
