why doesn't Netflix carry this movie.


they have so many crappy movies for their instant viewing selections this is much better than them

This movie isn't out on dvd. As far as having it for instant download - its a little more complicated than just renting a dvd. They have to negotiate special distribution rights with the owners of the film, and it isn't always easy / cheap to do so.

Thats why they have so many cheasy new movies - the owners are willing to sell the rights for cheaper because they know their product is crap anyway.

If you have Comcast, it's under Free Movies in the On Demand guide. I'm watching it right now.

It has been my understanding that John Travolta and Kelly Preston used their Scientology Mafia connections to make this film disappear. I saw this one back when the "Look Who's Talking" franchise was the only thing paying for Thetan removal but, now that they don't need the money, they seem to want to pretend that Kelly Preston's body double never used to do nude scenes.

As a couple of others have confirmed, I can too, it's on netflix. I'd never even heard about it until yesterday. It's an okay film.

It is on NetFlix now! Just watched through my Xbox. She is so beautiful!!!

This is also now available directly through IMDb (see the video link for the full movie).

Looks like the "Scientology Mafia" messed up on getting this movie erased.
