Nothing unknown presented (spoilers)

I rated this movie with 2 stars only because a good photography. What do we have here? Positive racism (white women and their fantasies about big black ....), horny older german women (that's how most of the people are thinking about them around the globe), and desperate african fellows who just want to get their money.

Nothing new, in fact, theme is very old and this should be filmed decades ago. What a waste of the 60 minutes of my life (yes I skipped half of the movie because I don't care to watch african dongs).

And yes, Dunja Sowinetz is very hot. Dunja if you ever see this message, contact me, I don't want your money at all :)

I agree that there is nothing new in this movie but it is to my knowledge the first time it is being filmed. It could have been done more interesting though. The people, the story, the plot is so predictable and boring. I did not find it immoral though. One could make a same revealing film about most marriages.

Nothing new????

People were laughing at the women's sexist dialogue. Some of it was pretty funny to me to. Then I thought, this wouldn't be funny at all if it was 55 year old white men talking about 20 year old Thai women.

The beach boys in general didn't seem exploited in the first half or so, but when they had the guy in the room dancing, I felt the women were exploiting the beach boy.

It's gender reversals made me question a lot in terms of gender and sexuality.

Dictated, but not read.

What would you have preferred? Some stupid, ironic contrivance to give the film a pretext of novelty? You'll have to wait for the Tarantino sex tourism film.

I am not your opinion. This is definitely not a movie - on purpose - which is meant to entertain the viewer. I also do not think, this really is a satirical movie, despite many people seeing it as one. I think it is a bold and realistic take on prostitution in the third world. Sure you can read or see documentaries about it, but I do not any fictional movie else where it was shown in this way. Prostitution is in many movies, but usually we see the dramatic consequences of it, while here it shows the every day action. And despite some scenes of the movie, especially the underlying racism, may be unique for that special situation in Kenya, many of the awkward and depressing situations regarding the intercourse may apply to all kinds of prostitution everywhere.
