Too Naughty to Say No is a fun outing that never takes itself too seriously. The story, based on the Marquis de Sade's Justine, is fun — despite heading into some dangerous territory toward the end — and lighthearted. Betty (Angel) is persuaded to take off from the Catholic boarding school she attends by her friend Catherine (Ginger Lynn) for some fun. The film follows Betty's sexual adventures while away from the boarding school.

What makes Too Naughty to Say No work so well is the powerhouse cast that combines stalwarts of the 70s with some of the up and coming stars of the 80s. Angel looks great in her role and does a wonderful job with the character of Betty. Ginger Lynn, a true 80s superstar, does a great job as Catherine. Harry Reems, as the undertaker, and Jamie Gillis, as the sex maniac, both put in some great performances.

The sex scenes are well done with all of the cast putting in enthusiastic sexual performances while managing to stay in character. Some of the cast members, like Lisa De Leeuw, come across as underused. The film looks good. The orgy scene comes across as a little claustrophobic and rushed. However, complaints with the film are few and most viewers should enjoy this venture.

Vinegar Syndrome has done a great job with this release. Too Naughty to Say No is presented in the anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The transfer looks beautiful. There is a little bit of print damage and grain is present throughout. Colors are beautifully reproduced. I doubt that Too Naughty to Say No has ever looked better on home video.

Too Naughty to Say No is presented with an English Dolby Digital 1.0 monaural track, which sounds beautiful as well. There were no blemishes in the audio and dialog was clear and easy to hear.

Vinegar Syndrome has only included on extra on the release. There is a feature length commentary track with director Victor Nye, producer Suze Randall, Joe Rubin (from Vinegar Syndrome), Christian McLaughlin (from Westgate Gallery), and Amber (from Suze Randall Productions).

Too Naughty to Say No is a fun adult film that features a good story and a stellar cast. The sex scenes are well done and the film is entertaining. Vinegar Syndrome has done a great job with this release. There isn't much for extras but the transfer is beautiful.
