Praise for this "big-deal" Vivid production for Paul Thomas rings hollow -it's merely a Tarantino-influenced unfunny and overacted mob comedy hardly worth commenting upon.
Briefly, the endless surf guitar signals a "Pulp Fiction" clone, but instead of porn-parody we get lots of sex and tons of situation comedy. Vivid's frequent practice of slicing and dicing the original (VHS) release version to followup with a shorty DVD issues is in evidence here, with 45 minutes of sex removed in shrinking the 131-minute movie to 86 minutes on disk.
The overacting by Vince Vouyer and Tony Tedeschi should have received the cuts rather than removing the XXX contributions of talented sex workers (actresses). Script is corny beyond belief and the sloppy credits show real carelessness (two actresses' roles are reversed -busty Kelly Jean mistaken for Summer Daze, and cameraman Guillermo Brown as the mafia boss playing Stephanie Swift's dad getting his character name and stage/crew moniker reversed).
