| Rating |  | | Date | July 26, 2005 | | Summary | Beautiful Scenery | Content
 | The scenery may make it worthwhile to hang in past the lightweight dialogue and vague storyline. Beautiful scenes of the old hillside houses and the lustrous Greek sea and sky saturate the screen. Lots of opportunities for the main characters to loll about on the beach sans clothing, snuggle in bed sans clothing, and romp in the ocean sans clothing. Wait for it on television, as I doubt you will want to watch it more than once unless you are really desperate to see bare bodies.
I actually liked the two female characters, but felt the young man mainly stood around striking a pose and showing off his manly physique and Greek eyebrows. The two young women at least interacted enough to develop personalities that you could relate to.
I'd like to see a little more dialogue about the three-way relationship and fewer of the sappy scenes like the birthday party which ended with all doused in olive oil and champagne. The sex scenes involved mostly snuggling with the rest left to your imagination.
I guess there are worse ways to kill a couple of hours than to watch this.

| Rating | | | Date | May 06, 2005 | | Summary | The Most Exciting, Sexy Adventure Of The Lifetime. | Content
| Three perfect characters (Peter Gallagher as Michael Pappas, Daryl Hannah as Cathy Featherstone and Valérie Quennessen as Lina), for a fascinating and exciting adventure between an american couple, Michael and Cathy, and a vacationing French archeologist, Lina. The american couple go to Greek Islans to spend the summer, then he knows and feels himself lured by Lina, who with her exciting beauty mesmerizes him. Then, Cathy goes to Lina's villa and have a talk about Lina's life, Michael and other things. There begins friendship between girls. She tells him about the talk she had with Lina, then, the american couple and Lina begin to know themselves. Lina moves to live with Michael and Cathy together, in the same villa, in OIA, to start, as I told, the most exciting adventure. Cathy's mom with a friend of her decide to drop in Michael and Cathy, then they discover Michael together with Lina. Cathy tries to explain her mom the great time the are passing by, all they have a dinner in the Atlantis hotel. Michael, Cathy and Lina go to a disco, then Lina decides going a separate way. After the quest luckless, Michael and Cathy decide go back to America, when Lina appears in the airport and then, the tree together again, go back... to continue the sexy adventure..!!!
Wind, waves, heat, disco, wine, music, beautiful women and everything you can imagine, a fantastic paradise as Santorini, Oia, Mykonos and Delos.
This movie has a great soundtrack, it begins with Michael Sembello "Summer Lovers", an exciting song, also Depeche Mode, Tina Turner, Plastic Bertrand, The Pointer Sisters, Stephen Bishop..... etc.
As Aspa says: "..If you wanted a romance, you came to the right place.."
As Michael says: "..For the first time in my life I can do what I want.."
As Lina says: ".. I came to Oia, to get away from everything.." |
| Rating | | | Date | February 04, 2005 | | Summary | Too many cuts | Content
| As a life-long nudist, I was very disappointed with the DVD compared with the theatrical release that I saw in the mid 1980s. The theatrical release opened with many shots of the nude beaches, and continued this theme quite simply and unashamedly throughout the whole movie. Many nude beach scenes have been deleted altogether from the DVD and the few remaining scenes are cut drastically, in my view detracting badly from the spirit and freedom of the Greek islands at the time portrayed in the original movie. |

| Thought the film was refreshing and pleasantly playful. The plot was good and the acting ok. I think the beauty of Valerie Quennessen really complimented this film. Wish someone really knew what actually became of her-other than rumors! |
| Rating | | | Date | December 17, 2004 | | Summary | Watch it for the music | Content
| The vision of the three lovers jumping off the cliff into the sea to the music of the Pointer Sisters and the vision of the Greek island they stayed in is what I remember best and what brings me back to the copy in my cabinet. I watch it for the great music and for the nostalgia of a young Darryl Hannah and Peter Gallagher. It was another time when things were more innocent. Inspiring to work out to. "I'm so excited, I just can't hide it. I know, I know, I know, ..." |
