The 2001 edition of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit video was produced to be shown on MTV, but except for brief appearances by an MTV staff person, who provides narration, the format is entirely familiar. Beautiful women travel to exotic locations, eccentric and demanding photographers take a gazillion photographs of them, and the editors of the magazine engage in a painstaking process to figure out which photos measure up to the standards of the fabled swimsuit issue. This edition of the annual video contains a brief look back at the magazine's tradition of showcasing swimsuit models as well as a segment showing some problems faced in past years (such as a capsizing boat that scuttled a photographer and thousands of dollars worth of equipment). But for the most part the camera lingers over the bodies of more than a dozen models, including Josie Maran, Heidi Klum, Daniela Pestova, Michelle Behennah, and Molly Sims. Clad in the tiniest and tightest swimsuits imaginable, the women are seen posing--and occasionally talking about how much work posing is--in locations ranging from Las Vegas to Malaysia to Greece to Tunisia. The video is, as one might expect, very professionally produced, and while it contains no real surprises, it's a suitable tribute to the annual magazine issue that has become an American institution. --Robert J. McNamara

 Marketing Hype! July 28, 2003
32 out of 33 found this review helpful
I really was looking forward watching this edition of Sports Illustrated,because I have all the previous editions,and because I am a big Josie Maran fan(I think she is one of the sexiest and most beautiful women ever).
But how disappointed I was for two main reasons,
Firstly,the 'uncensored' tag is totally misleading. One would be excused for dispensing quickly of few $$$ without a thought just for this word alone,but this is all a marketing hype!I wonder what would the censored version be like??? Shooting fully clothed in the Artic??
Secondly, if you expect to be watching good photography, and lingering shots of these gorgeous women in bikinis,you will be sorely disappointed. This whole edition looks like behind the scene documentary for the magazine shoot, and what shots of models we have are annoyingly edited and are few seconds long at most. The last thing on my mind when I bought this DVD, was to hear photgraphers, producers and models talk and talk...
So careful not to believe the uncensored claim, and if you have the previous editions, then it is ok to buy this one too to complete the collection, but it will certainly be the weakest one by far.
 It's good but not great June 9, 2001

Yeah, it's the same 1 shown on MTV a few months back. It's the same thing but just without the 5min commericals. It is preety much the same thing as it is on the DVD. Nothing new you need to see here.
Great DVD, if you're a photographer February 24, 2002

...I think it's the best in the Sports Illustrated series, and I have all of them. But I'm a photographer, and the reason I think it's good is because there's lots of footage here of the photographers working with the models. There's a segment on Terry Richardson and how he often uses point and shoot cameras, which I found very interesting. The beautiful women are still there, and I get to watch some of the best photographers in the world work. I think it's great. The most irritating part of this DVD for me was the quick MTV cuts and the parts where they made the image roll as if the vertical hold had gone haywire on the TV set. That was just annoying.
Lamest Video Yet! January 10, 2002

Talk about rewarding the uninvolved!! The main characters in this video are the behind the scenes people. Althought they do contribute and have valid input to the video their portion of the content should be about 5%. IMHO SI Swimsuit Edition is about the MODELS wearing swimsuits and LESS. UNCENCORED??? no way this is a valid PG. I do not want to hear stories about models dancing naked on the tables, I want to see video of it.
It's okay June 9, 2001

It's the exact same thing that they had showed on MTV a few months back. Brian the new guy at MTV is the host of this telecast. Nothing is new in the DVD, it is just like having the VHS version of it, either way they are about the same thing.
