Good Mix

Naked ladies, sun & water is always a winning combo and 'Sex on the Beach' does it right. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast 51 minutes went by. You get a familiar face or two (if you've seen too many Playboy titles) and I was particularly happy that no time gets wasted on dialog or a silly narrator.

After a standard but decent montage intro we get "Sun Charter" with three ladies (Marilyn, Jessica & Mercy) first on a catamaran in bikinis & nude briefly. Then one on one time in the water with the boat anchored farther out. They don't shy away from nice close-ups and some risqué shots for Playboy standards. Jessica was my favorite of the trio (5 mins). "Bonfire Dance" with model Sarah Hutchinson isn't bad, but you can see her in a hotter scene in 'Girls of Hawaiian Tropic'. A little too much time gets spent on the body paint, tribal guys banging on drums element not showcasing Sarah to her fullest potential (5 mins).

"Beach Girl" is your strip from a bikini with an unnecessary male photographer. Brande Roderick pre-implants is good looking and the scene provides some nice close ups (4 mins). "Massage" finds Shellani getting a 'full body Swedish massage' from an equally naked Michelle. I don't know why, but when Shellani's paired up with another lady it never gets super hot (5 mins). "Cascading Water" has model Alexis coming out of the water from snorkeling. She strips from her partial wetsuit and has an outdoor shower. A standard but decent scene (4 mins).

"Island Artist" has a cheesy setup as Toni dances, strips while a man paints her. There's one too many shots of the guy, but Toni's wicked body shown in multiple closeups make this a good segment (5 mins). "Island Girls" finds two ladies (Sandy, Casey) buying fruit and then feeding it to each other as they get naked. Both have their solo moments (5 mins).

"Sea Goddess" has Tara getting naked from her white bikini on a private beach as a dude folding towels watches nearby happily. It might be the title's best moment. Tara has a great body and the camera shows it off nicely as a chill soundtrack plays. Plenty of closeups. One or two of the risqué nature (5 mins). "Blue Heaven" wraps things up as friends (Elsbeth, Michelle) get sexy at an outdoor bar with patrons & a band. Not a bad finish with some nice shots (6.5 mins).

'Sex on the Beach' is a decent Playboy title. I wish Sarah's part had been better, but they did the theme justice. Anyone who says this is one of Playboy's worst titles obviously hasn't seen very many of them. I wish Tara Brooks & Toni had gone on to appear in other videos. I'd like to see more of them.

One of Playboy's worst videos
kodama-224 October 1999
Sex on the Beach is one of Playboy's worst videos. It looks like a cheaply made production. The photography is consistently poor which does nothing to enhance the appeal of the "models" (almost none of whom are recognizable from other Playboy videos). The "beach" theme is used liberally to link the segments together.

Best Playboy Movie Ever! Matt Barbanell Rocks!!
davinson4428 July 2007
The best playboy movie ever on video. Matt Barbaenll is the most talented actor ever to appear in a playboy movie. If it wasn't for his presence the movie would suck. His performance is sensational. The girls are pretty hot but without Matt Barbanel being on the beach folding towels this movie would have flopped. It is unbelievable to me that this movie hasn't received more recognition. The acting is superb and I watch the movie at least ten to eleven times a week. I hope to have the opportunity to meet the cast of this wonderful production some day. Hopefully they will make a sequel to this remarkable work of art. I constantly petition playboy to make a follow up to this movie.
