Così si fa l'amore

Too Naughty to Say No (1985)

*** (out of 4)

Betty (Angel) and Catherine (Ginger Lynn) are Catholic school girls who couldn't be more opposite. Catherine is a sexually active wild child who takes the overly shy Betty out to show her what she's missing. Before long Betty starts to get passed around and experiencing the art of sex.

TOO NAUGHTY TO SAY NO is a pretty strong and entertaining adult film that manages to take stars from the 70s and 80s and throw them into an all around fun movie. There's no question that this here is sort of a "greatest hits" of stars as we get current people like Angel, Lynn and Lisa De Leeuw but then you've got throwbacks like Jamie Gillis, Harry Reems, Eric Edwards and various others.

There are some extremely good scenes here including the opening sex scene where Gillis is on the bed with Lynn while talking dirty to Angel who is watching them. This was an extremely erotic sequence and certainly the highlight of the picture. The film moves along at a nice pace and the story itself might not be anything too original but it's at least done in a fun manor. The cast is certainly great and makes the film worth viewing.

"Too Naughty to Say No," directed by Humphry Knipe and released in 1985, is a curious blend of eras and genres. It's neither a high-budget, plot-driven feature of the early '80s nor a sleazy, videotaped sexathon that defined the latter part of the decade. Instead, it straddles the line between steamy sex and light-hearted storytelling, delivering an entertaining, if somewhat uneven, adult film experience.

The movie follows schoolgirl Betty (played by Angel), a straight-laced student who falls asleep while studying and enters a dreamworld of sexual exploration. Her counterpart is Catherine (Ginger Lynn), a sexually liberated wild child who serves as Betty's guide to the pleasures of the flesh.

The plot is thin, but it serves as a framework for a series of erotic encounters. Betty, the embodiment of innocence, is soon drawn into a world of debauchery, experiencing a range of sexual adventures that contrast sharply with her shy personality.

One of the film's standout scenes features Angel and Cody Nicole in a sapphic interlude within a car. As they passionately explore each other, the male cast members look on, their excitement building until they climax simultaneously, coating the windows with their release. It's a bold and explicit moment, pushing the boundaries of what was typical for the genre at the time.

While the movie has its moments of daring, it also has some uncomfortable themes. There's a preoccupation with coercion and an odd foray into fantasy necrophilia, which may leave a bad taste in some viewers' mouths.

That being said, "Too Naughty to Say No" is a fun, if forgettable, ride. It boasts a strong cast of adult film regulars, including legends like Jamie Gillis, Harry Reems, and Eric Edwards. It's a who's who of the golden age of porn, and their performances elevate the material.

In conclusion, "Too Naughty to Say No" is a time capsule of an era when adult films were evolving. It has its charms and will appeal to fans of vintage adult entertainment. While the plot is weak, the cast is top-notch, and the sex scenes are scorching hot.

Angel and Ginger are students at a catholic school where Lisa De Leeuw is the Mother Superior. Naive Angel daydreams and then goes partying with wild girl Ginger (let the education begin). Later Ginger offers to take her to a house where there are lots of nice girls staying (which turns out to be a whorehouse where Lisa D. is the madame). Both girls look so good in those little school girl outfits. The scene where Angel watches Ginger and Jamie Gillis is very erotic, and the scene with Angel and the flasher is one of my all time favorites. Lots of good angles, a nice set with furs on the bed, candles everywhere, and Angel just looked so good. If you like Angel, this is one movie you need to see.
