5/5 A Must Have, Don't Listen to the Other Reviewers
  by
This is a must have video for ANY Lucy Lawless fan. Actually contains 3 movies. The first is Peach a wonderful short film were she plays a tow truck driver who very sexily helps a girl realize she's worth something, awesome work and Lucy's big smile all over the place. The second is a strange little piece about a sick girl who's father ignores her, Lucy plays the childs nurse in the hospital. Lucy's appearance in this short film was her first, That's Why It's Important To Have! But don't close your eyes it's only a couple of short scenes. The last is an interview/documentary piece on lesbian filmmakers. A highly recommended trio tape to own!!!

2/5 This is not worth the money.

Lucy Lawless barely is even shown in these short films. You can definatley tell it's low buget. During the whole viewing I sat there with a "WHAT IS THIS" look. I like Lucy Lawless but I think I'll stick with Xena. Dont buy save your money.

3/5 Peach: Tantalizing Bitter Song: Reason for being-LL
  by
The object of the Woman's (Lucy Lawless) conquest got a nice lesson in non-attachment and the promise it can bring. The film was short, yes, but gave the viewer a chance to imagine what followed. The girl also was taught that she has some worth- "you make things happen". Bitter Song's reason for being, to me, is that it is Lucy's very first film appearance. The blurb on the box is quite misleading, however. One kept expecting to see the nurse do more than routine hospital chores;there was really no special contact with the child. A historic document of a terrific actress.

3/5 Great, but for the price...

For any Lucy Lawless fan, or GLBT drama fan, "Peach" is a must see. Short, but artistic, it is worth seeing. For the price, however . . . I guess it depends on your fandom-ness. My friend bought it about four years ago. We were both obsessive Xena fans, and were both coming out of the closet, but I guess she was slightly more obsessive in both areas. Great video, but I wouldn't pay more than 12 bucks for it. Then again, she always called me a cheapskate.

3/5 Short and Sweet

I liked Peach. Of course, anything with Lucy in it appeals to me. Yes, it is quite short. And, yes, Lucy has few lines and minimal screentime but, I still found it enjoyable. If you are an avid admirer of Lucy`s work, Peach is a nice little addition to your collection.
