ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

sarwatesm I have read quite a few reviews and almost everybody discarded it distastefully saying that it is one of the worst movies ever made. I agree that Bo is weak as far as acting is concerned but the film is OK guys. You certainly get entertained.I think the issue of rating prior to its release was the main factor for all these reviews as majority of the audiences saw this film with predetermined expectations. They thought the film would be a hardcore film but actually it is not. It is a plain drama in which the director conveys the importance of finding the correct partner.as far Bo is concerned, forget about her acting but she is breathtaking with clothes as well without them.I enjoyed it certainly and most of you should if you watch it as a drama and not as a XXX film

lost-in-limbo I don't know what to really make of this awkwardly flirtatious and odd Bo Derek starring vehicle presented by Cannon productions, which was directed / written by her husband John Derek. The film's racy tag-line reads "The Hottest Erotic Film Of The Century", but that's quite a stretch. This is what the feature wants to be, but however its becomes a laughably nonsensical romance story of sexual awakening that simply likes to focus on Derek's naïve character (in more than one way) in her quest to lose her virginity by travelling around the world in the 1920s. Searching far and wide for sexual fulfilment… well she only travels to two exotic places and finds the "ecstasy" she long desired by settling down with him in Spain. Although at first everything doesn't go entirely to plan. The boundless plot is rather dull, with only some bemusing sequences (milk and honey anybody or seduction by naked horseback riding?), risible dialogues ("That thing is going to work. I guarantee that") and the performances being the brightening spark. Outside of the irresistibly carefree Derek, you got the perky Ana Obregon, a feisty Oliva d'Abo and the causal air of George Kennedy. Quite a clumsy, camped-up soft-core romance fare. "I had so many years of being so very proper. I had good-girl claustrophobia."

Anders Twetman I saw this as part of my own little project of seeing all of the films on the bottom 100 list here on IMDb.I decided to start at the back of the list with umber 100 which happened to be Bolero (what that title has to do with anything is beyond me). It's set in what i think is the 1940's as told by the 1980's which is just strange. It's the story of two young women searching for the perfect man to give their virginity to which means there is a lot of full on nudity and sex. The nudity is never really motivated, the sex is not sexy and the plot doesn't work, especially since the main character only visits two men. The scene transitions are so abrupt you never really know what's going on or why and the dialog is so slow it nearly drives you mad. All in all, Bolero is confusing, stupid and boring.

bbntn "Bolero" and other Bo Derek movies exist for one reason: to see her naked body.In the 1930s and '40s, you watched movies to see Marx Brothers, Three Stooges, Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello, etc. for their slapstick pratfalls, puns and verbal jokes ("Who's on First", "Why a Duck", etc.). This same generation produced movies Bing Crosby singing, Gene Kelly dancing, etc. The plots were pointless, silly, escapism.In the 1980s, we had Bo Derek in a movie for one basic purpose: to see how soon, how much, and how often she would expose her body. The movies were vehicles to display her body -- THAT'S ALL!!! No plot lines, no character development, no "meaningful-ness". Think of it as cotton candy for the eyes.
