* AudienceAlienatingPremise: A {{romantic comedy}}/[[BuddyCopShow buddy cop film]] set at a UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} resort...with Creator/DanAykroyd and Creator/RosieODonnell as comic relief. General audiences were largely scared away by the film's frank portrayal of sadomasochistic relationships, while kinksters generally found it too silly to be erotic.
* FetishRetardant:
** Dominatrix!Rosie O'Donnell.
** The spanking scene. It ''starts'' pretty erotic, with Lisa chaining up a naked Elliot and sensually fondling him from behind while wearing a slinky red evening gown. Then she ruins it by putting an absurdly huge blindfold on him, which looks a bit like a scuba mask spray-painted white. It's just as ridiculous as it sounds.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Rosie O'Donnell not wanting to have sex with any men on the island, and her MistakenForGay scene.
** Rosie saying "think of me as Oprah". Two years later, she gets her own talk show.
* MisaimedMarketing: An infamous example. The trailers and advertisements for the film focused almost exclusively on the undercover cops played by Creator/DanAykroyd and Rosie O'Donnell, while downplaying the kinky romance between Creator/DanaDelany and Paul Mercurio (who played the ''actual'' main characters). By trying to play the film off as a wacky sex comedy, the marketing turned away nearly everyone who might have actually ''liked'' to see a steamy BDSM love story.
