Product Description

This unique behind-the-scenes documentary deals with the everyday trials of exotic male dancing in North America. The film aptly shows how male dancers have to cope today with the numerous hardships caused by a steady decline of this exotic industry. Audiences will learn what does it take for the male dancers to survive in this rather competitive and demanding exotic industry. At the same time, the film allows the viewer - for the first time - to go behind the scenes and see what is on the other side of the stage, something that has never before been seen on TV.

SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK & ROLL, YEAH BABY!
I bought this DVD for my girlfriend for Xmas (don't ask me why), and we ended up watching it together over the holidays. I'm not really into documentaries, but I have to say I was surprised by how candidly this film shows the lives of these dancers. And yes, there is a lot of behind the scenes footage that shows what these dancers are actually doing in their dressing rooms. I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen this film yet, but it really lives up to its title "RAW, EXPOSED, UNTOLD". I'm not sure if certain drug snorting scenes were actually faked or not, but this is really something I haven't seen anywhere else. I can't really comment on the guys, though my girlfriend seemed to be pleased with the more revealing images. So I'm pretty sure if you're a horny female or gay male you'll get your own entertainment, but surprisingly there is lot more to this film than just displaying seemingly endless moments of naked male bodies. Why? Because some of these guys (dancers) are the most hilarious people I've seen in a while. Especially BODYHEAT "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, that's all it's about, yeah baby!". That guy makes this documentary (well, for straight guys anyways). I'm glad that there are some breaks in the film where I didn't have to stare at naked guys (well, not completely naked guys), and these scenes are really funny. Some of these dancers just cracked me up. I have to tell you that I was pleasantly surprised, though intially I only started watching this because my girlfriend made me (afterall I bought it for her!). Believe it or not a few days later I made my friends watch this film, though this time we watched it with the dancer's audio commentary. First they were giving me those odd, worry some looks, but by the time we finished it everyone was glad that I showed them this DVD. The raw version of the dancer's audio track is a real riot (Warning: this track is more fun if you're a straight guy, because nothing is left untouched). You can hear the guys as they pour their drinks and they slowly get drunk as the movie rolls on. By the end of the track they are all piss drunk, I never heard anything like this before. I guess the makers of this film were not kidding when they came up with their title for the movie. My only regret is that Bodyheat was not present when they recorded the commentary tracks, that's a real shame, he is the funniest guy ever. Maybe all that snorting finally got to him? Anyways, this documentary is a great entertainment whether you're female, straight or gay male there is something for everyone, and I really mean it! One last warning though, beware because your girlfriend may suggest taking you to a male strip show after viewing this film. DOH!

my review of raw & exposed
I viewed this DVD and would give it a 1 out of 5 stars. This is great if you are in college and researching male dancers or something but otherwise it's kind of lame. It shows about 5 dancers in one club and they interview various women in the club and get their opinions about strippers. I still have not made the connection as to why Ron Jeremy has anything to do with this documentary! Ladies, if you are expecting to see skin, this DVD shows very little. Others may have a limmited interest if you have followed the male dancer trends in the US.

BEWARE!
BEWARE! This is one of the worst videos EVER! It consists mostly of a lot of screaming girls, mostly blonds, making fools of themselves. In no instance does a stripper do a complete performance. The production values are nil. The lighting is too dim to show even the brief performaces. This video is a complete ripoff. I'm tossing mine into the waste bin.
