Good sex and funny
"Probably the best sex scenes in a vinegar syndrome release. The competition between the two leads to some really interesting scenes in a great ending."

Reviews
My favourite Tobalina
"Preposterous, cheap, silly, borderline amateur and incredibly hot, both films here are very straightforward fuck fests, elevated by the sheer enthusiasm and the fun that everyone looks to be having. Mai Lin is of course gorgeous, as is Serena, and their "competition" to be in Tobalina's next film results in a series of super-hot scenes, including a preposterous fake bukkake scene in which the two sit in a bright pink plastic bath tub while fake cum is thrown on them from offscreen. Oriental Hawaii has a (preposterous, unconvincing) incest angle as well as lots of very pretty people sitting around smoking dope and having sex with each other. Hard not to love, and presented in an absolutely beautiful transfer."
A wild duo of semi-exotic Toblina flix!
"Mai Lin vs. Serena & Oriental Hawaii are two pretty good efforts from Carlos Tobalina; I find you either love or hate his work, the transfers are good and the sex is hot. What more do you want?"
Could Have Been Better
"Yes, some of the acting on these is well below par. But the sex scenes are pure fire. It’s too bad these feel so rushed."
Mai Lin + Serena
"A total winning combo with both Mai Lin and Serena in one film."
One good, one...not so good
"Oriental Hawaii was entertaining, low-rent smut. Surprisingly sleazy with some unexpected elements (recommended for fans of the Taboo films, I suppose). Mai Lin vs Serena was a bit of a weak effort, though."
Tobalina
"Their both more of the same from Carlos, but their still pretty fun."
They don't make them like this anymore
"Transfers are splendid, and the setting for both was high quality."
Tobolina at it again
"Another Hardcore double feature from the "Ed Wood of golden age porn" Carlos Tobolina. You know what to expect - tons of sex and little plot or real characters. Mai Lin vs. Serena is certainly the more interesting of the two, as it's basically a meta film. Both actresses and Tobolina play a version of themselves. Nice idea. The restoration is excellent and the DVD transfer still looks good on modern TVs."
