Customer Reviews

Yeah, this is what I'd do with a genie too.
The Erotic Dreams of Jeannie is, you guessed it, a softcore parody of the "I Dream of Jeannie" television series. This was my first Retromedia title, so I didn't know what to expect. From the description of the release I was a little worried that I wouldn't get too much actual softcore. Fortunately, that wasn't the case, and what they advertise about the release isn't really what ended up on the DVD: "Full of parody, political satire, and hip insider humor ...". Okay, I can agree on the parody, but political satire? Hip insider humor? I must have missed that part. "... a laugh-filled special effects-laden spoof ...". Now this is accurate. There were many places I was laughing at the pathetically bad special effects that were used.

But, on to what counts. This video delivered nicely in the sex department. There are six sex scenes. Three are boy/girl, two are girl/girl, and one is boy/girl/girl. All the women were gorgeous and included pornstar Nicole Sheridan and softcore veteran Beverly Lynne. There were two other women who were also very attractive. The sex was decently explicit and filmed well. The sounds of the actors were still audible during the scenes and all scenes went to completion.

Extras included a still gallery and a commentary track from a couple of people involved in the movie's production. I listened to a bit of it, and it sounded interesting, so I'll probably go back later and listen to the whole thing.

This is a good video, but Retromedia could have done better. The actual movie only ran about sixty-five minutes. But in order to pad out the runtime to make it appear like a full length film, the opening and closing credits are stretched out to run as long as they possibly can. There was plenty of opportunity to fit in one or two more sex scenes. They also need to advertise their product better. Like I said before, it isn't very clear that this is a softcore video, and I can imagine people passing it up because of that. I also had no idea that Beverly Lynne was in this video until I watched it. She's a softcore hall of famer. Why they didn't have her name on the outside packaging is beyond me.

For the price, this is a good release and I recommend it. I'll probably be checking out other Retromedia releases, but they aren't going to achieve the distinction of studios like Playboy or Surrender unless they improve their quality and value. They've got some beautiful women and talent, they just need to use both of them more effectively.

The Way it Might Have Been
If you were a fan of the old TV show, you may have wondered why Tony always pushed Jeannie away. Well so did Fred Olen Ray. Now he has done something about it.

Two new Genies are ready for their first masters. But when they see the old folks they have been assigned two, they decide to lose their innocence with one another, a crime that results in them being imprisoned in a bottle and a small chest.

2000 years later a US Army officer on a UN mission (plenty of political satire here -- sorry Dave) finds the containers after blasting a mountain. The Arab he is helping makes the sign of the Cross (?) and runs, leaving the officer to take the objects home with him.

Once home, his fiancé offers herself to him even though she had been saving herself. Turns out Tony is set to inherit six million dollars (inside joke time) and she and her father want to get their hands on the money. Well, the other genie gets released and the plot thickens as greed rises until the film reaches its climax.

This time we have a reason for Tony to push Jeannie's favors aside, he is trying to be true to his fiancé. Fred Olen Ray and his wife (the producer) provide a commentary track for the first time. A small photo gallery is also included. The acting is pretty good for this sort of fare with the male Djinn offering comic relief and plenty of one-liners. Nicole Sheridan stars in the title role and is the most revealing of the actresses. All in all a pretty good example of soft-core parody.

I Dream of jeannie 25 years later
The worst thing is the parody isn't as imaganative as I would have expected it to be or even hoped for [being they got the bottle right at least] the master was handsome,the genie was way too dumb even for tv standards and her male genie friend could have been more animalized with his performances. the plot started really interesting but failed the moment the master got home with the bottle. if you're going to make light of one of my favorite tv series-at least drive it to the edge with some flair as a producer. But it was cute in it's own way for parody - if you're a ''i dream of jeannie''fan,you'll understand.
