This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* Ripped off again. The so called "Director's cut" version of "Hotel Exotica" is nothing of the sort unless the director really wanted to sell a tame R-rated version. I know this because I had caught the flick on cable many years ago and I can assure you that there's a lot more to the movie than this. One of the sex scenes I really wanted to see again was the one where Landon Hall's sister and Taylor St. Claire meet in the kitchen for a late night rendezvous. In the cable version, this scene rocked on for a good ten minutes. In the DVD I just saw, the scene ends after less than a minute! Taylor St. Claire sticks a piece of ice in the sister's mouth and that's it. That's it?! Wow! What a rip-off! Do not, under any circumstances, buy the "Director's cut" version of this film."Hotel Exotica" is about Landon Hall and her attempts to get her husband interested in her again. They end up at Hotel Exotica with the hopes that sparks will start flying. Her sister tags along and hopes to find something interesting there as well. In the version I saw, nothing interesting is happening at Hotel Exotica. Most of the sex scenes are brief and miss the point. A lot of them have the couples having sex under the covers! What? That can't be right. Say it isn't so! Who in their right mind films a sex scene with naked bodies hiding under the sheets? "Hotel Exotica" is a complete dud. Don't waste your time.One last thing, one of the reasons I bought this DVD was because I saw that Nikki Fritz was in it. When I saw the credit flash on the screen, "Featuring Nikki Fritz", I knew I was in trouble. Sure enough, Fritz is on the screen for about 20 seconds. It looked like a Fritz clip from some other movie was pasted onto this one. This Fritz deception elevates "Hotel Exotica" to shameless rip-off level. Avoid this hotel at all costs.
Those of you familiar with Surrender Cinema Films are well aware of what type of film this is. Softcore at its best, well maybe close to it. I have rented the uncut or "director's cut" version of this film and it was not bad. It actually was rather entertaining. When I finally saw this on DVD at a store with the label "directors's cut", I immediately purchased it. I was horrified to find out that this was not the same hot film that I saw but rather a watered down R rated version! If you plan on getting this film, be very careful. The distributor, Shadow, is doing a good job of false advertising. I certainly fell for it. Again don't buy this, even though it says "director's cut"!
The gorgeous Ahmo Hight, who stole "Insatiable Wives", steals this one, too; although the lovely but very wooden and stiff Landon Hall isn't much of a challenge to start with. Hight and Hall play Rachel and Carly, two sisters who don't look like they'd be related LOL who are unhappy with their sex lives. Rachel has been two-timed by her artist boyfriend (who must be an idiot to not enjoy Rachel's prowess in the sack) and Carly's husband is a good man who's too busy with his career to even need to get down to his birthday suit and...Carly's husband comes up with a place for them to spend the weekend: The Hotel Exotica. However, he's waylaid by business, so Carly takes the rambunctuous Rachel with her. Then the fun begins, with a psychic played by Taylor St. Claire fortelling the futures for their sex lives, along with plenty of steamy sex and lurid fun for the viewer. Eventually Carly's husband and a MFV hunk friend of his make a surprise visit, and it gets very interesting.As with all MFV soft-core erotica, the acting is negligible and the storyline is hackneyed. The "money shots", which are the point of this film being cobbled up, are summed up in two words: Ahmo Hight. Nobody in the history of cinema can say she's put Sharon Stone's sex scenes in "Basic Instinct" to shame but her. Ahmo is a dynamo in the Unrated version of this film; whether man or woman as her partner, she delivers a temperature-rising performance in her sex scenes. Using her athleticism and gymnastics, she makes you forget that this is "simulated sex". Landon Hall, on the other hand, delivers a less than exhilirating ride, which probably explains why her husband isn't itching to bed her. LOLBottom line: it's too bad Ahmo doesn't make these films any more, because she was stellar in the two I've seen with her. She makes this film. I would have liked to see her in a film with Jennifer Burton, that would be a scorching hot film. Good stuff.
I got a rated version from the local Lackluster video rental shoppe...this movie was obviously chopped up with the start of things getting steamy...and then...abrupt music change and there they are, laying side by side basking in the glow of their heated moment. What the movie was about...husband lawyer is way too busy to pay attention to Landon Hall the wife....so wife and sister decide to run away for the weekend...the weekend was originally planned for lawyer husband and attention deficient wife. They arrive at Hotel Exotica and the sparks start to fly as wife watches a couple grope and climb all over each other. Suddenly, back at the Lawyer Shoppe....the husband gets a break in his case load and heads up to Hotel Exotica to meet with attention deficient wife. They meet and after dinner go to bed where...he just goes to sleep. Meanwhile, the very horny sister Ahmo Hight, dreams about a tryst with the palm reader, Taylor St Claire, in the kitchen....only I never saw it...it just starts...and abrupt music change in mid note and she is waking up from the dream with a very big smile on her face. There was a lot of this...like, in scenes where they are in bed, and writhing around, lots of kissing, lots of fondling..but under the covers....WHY? When after the love making, they are laying bare chested in bed....? Was this movie shot with alternate versions in mind and then they got confused as to which version they were putting together? It could have been a great movie for the genre....lots of great looking ladies in little or no clothes....Landon Hall, a beautiful actress who can act well and naturally. Ahmo Hight, the sister, acts well and is built, with a healthy dose of silicone, for serious pleasure. Taylore St Claire is drop dead gorgeous...what scenes I saw her in... If you can get the unrated version, or at least a better edited version, this would be a great show to watch...in my opinion!
