Exit to Eden

Exit to Eden

Garry Marshall, the man behind Pretty Woman, has made two movies here. One is based on Anne Rice's erotic novel of a fantasy island where dreams are fulfilled and sexuality is open to all, led by a congenial dominatrix (Dana Delany) and a glowing new recruit (Paul Mercurio of Strictly Ballroom). The other is a farcical comedy-action movie, which is what you saw in the ads. Savoy Pictures must have been unsure of to how to market the movie, and they pushed the secondary action of pop songs, needless narration, and even a few noticeable dubs. Amazingly, though, the film works by the end as a guilty pleasure, thanks to the four principals. Delany finally ripples on the big screen, Rosie O'Donnell has her first confident work since A League of Their Own, Dan Aykroyd becomes a comic mainstay, and best of all is Mercurio. The brooding stud is a delight, and is sure to launch a million fans as the loverboy who finds a sweet love story. Agreeable stuff if you really want Rice's erotic novels turned into cute TV-ish comedies. With, as always, Hector Elizondo. --Doug Thomas

Fred Lavery:
Good morning and welcome to L.A.'s premium triple X club: The Feather. When the sun comes up, the bras come down. It is dark and time for our sunrise special. Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Sheila Kingston:
Our back-up finally arrived. Late. Must have been a line up at Dunkin Donuts. We got the diamonds, the bad guys got away. All we know, one of them had a bad cold.

Fred Lavery:
They have a Club Med for sex orgies?

Fred Lavery:
An alternative lifestyle. DO you know what that is? That's just a phrase deviants use to cover up their sex lives.

Sheila Kingston:
Go paint my house!

Sheila Kingston:
We're the only two people on this island without handcuffs.

Sheila Kingston:
Why are we pretending your bag isn't buzzing? You bought a vibrator.
