Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Produced by the legendary Bill Osco, this witty, appealing fantasy adult musical treatment of the Lewis Carroll classic starring former Playmate Kristine DeBell as Alice features original songs like 'What's a Girl Like You Doing On A Knight Like This' and will have you laughing as familiar characters such as the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit put a titillating twist on the children's tale. While certainly not for the kiddies, it doesn't have any of the hardcore, unemotional edge common to the adult genre---just lots of skin, silliness and fun, fun, fun.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not an original
DVD not as advertised. This is a censored version of the original. It is not noted in the advertising.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - THIS MOVIE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST OF THIS GENRE
I first saw this movie nearly 20 years ago on VHS. I ignored it for awhile until one evening I was looking for some movies before the weather
turned bad. I picked this up and decided it would probably be a loser. How wrong I was. This movie stands out above all others in this genre. The production quality was outstanding from start to finish. I thought that I would be doing the FF thing, or just stopping it and rewinding it, instead, I watched and really enjoyed this movie. I rennted it on several ... Read More
