a great cast wasted

With a cast that included Dyanne Thorne, Uschi Digard, Monica Gayle, and Vincene Wallace, this film should have been far more erotic than it was. Very disappointing. The sex scenes, the few that there are in this film, are cut way too short and should have been extended a lot more than they were. Since they aren't, the film kind of falls flat on the erotic front and that's too bad considering the talent especially in front of the camera. A good and very sexy erotic cast is completely wasted. Too bad too as this film could have been an erotic masterpiece but as it stands now, it is a very disappointing erotic effort. The actresses in the cast have beautiful bodies. They go through the motions alright but the sex scenes go by way too fast. What was the rush? If the producers had let the sex scenes play out more than they did, the film would have been much much better. As an example, the sex scene with the great and beautiful Uschi Digard goes by way too fast. When a woman has a body like Uschi, guys want to see her for more than just thirty seconds in a film.
