"I liked several of the stories. None were bad enough to justify a "two-star" rating, in my opinion. First of all, bear in mind, it's low-budget, and why? Because there aren't a whole heaping load of people watching lesbian-themed short stories, that's why. I watched it to the very end, which is more than can be said for 80% of all movies. There is some good writing at work, too. I guess my favorite skit was "This Boy," the one about an androgynous little tomboy who falls in love with another girl. Here's a breakdown on each story.
"The Piper" - the first is a cheap takeoff on the Pied Piper legend. Cute and sweet, but nothing heavy, and reeks of low budget. Don't let this one prejudice you against the rest.
"The Uninvited" - best piece, dramatically - about an older woman who gets infatuated with a younger and uses desperate ploys to try to woo her. Good writing.
"Sarang Song" - Twisted. Blacks are all heroes, whites are all villains. No exceptions. White people are evil. Go kill whitey. Now.
"This Boy" - best of the lot - the precocious actress really carries this short film. Fun and just way too cute. Very well-written.
"Shugar Shank" - an aspiring young musician falls in love with a fellow bandmate (both female). Can she get past the boyfriend--and the addictions? I liked this one.
"Cosa Bella" - I don't think I ever figured out what this one was all about. Two attractive chicks that fool around decide to get serious about each other. Weak. Dialogue is difficult to hear at times. But when you do hear it, it's not even that good. This is the worst of the lot, and no big mystery as to why it's saved for the end.

"This movie was so bad its hard to even put to words. I watch all 6 short films and could not believe how very very bad they all were. It was like watching a train full of people crash. You don't want to see any more, but you keep watching hoping that it will have a good out come. Well let me tell you, this movie does not!!! SO SO SO, bad. Don't waste your time or money. I can't believe they even charge for this movie."

"I thought this would be erotic stories. Not even close till the last two stories..."
Terrible. Boring. Dull (Did I mention "dull"?)

"This is the worse collection of five minute video clips I have ever seen.
I cannot figure out if these are "student films" from a failed public High School arts program, or entries into a Film Festival for the mentally challenged. Oh god - give me ADS!
It is actually physically painful to sit and watch this DVD (also enraging when I remember that I actually spend money for this - as opposed to downloading it from UTube - at least I would not have felt so cheated).
The word "dull" doesn't do this DVD justice.
The only "video clip" that had any passing value was the last one (from which they lifted the cover shot for the DVD jacket itself) and even that was short, uninteresting, and drawn out.
But compared to the rest of the "clips" it was a masterpiece. I actually signed with relief on watching this one - sort of like having your head shoved in a bucket of sewage (sorry - "manure") and then pulled out again.
You just can't beat a big strong whiff of stale air at that point!"
