Many viewers – even those accustomed to softcore material – may not have the patience to sit through this whole title in one shot. Asian Beauty spends a languid afternoon documenting a still photo shoot of the ravishing Japanese beauty Ryo Uehara as she poses, makes costume changes, cools off with a swim and poses some more.

Standing, sitting, lying in repose – that's all there is to it. Some of the modeling occurs inside, some in the garden, but the location is hardly noteworthy: Frankly, if ASM keeps providing babes like Uehara we won't give a damn! Who could turn away from that youthful, supple and perfectly proportioned body? For the time being, her expressions are limited to a pouty sort of insouciance, but experience will sort that out. [Note: the main DVD menu is incorrectly labeled Asian Beauty 3.]

Retailing: If certain costumers get a kick out of leisurely flipping through a stack of Victoria's Secret catalogs, this is the softcore title for them.
