"Good Girls, Bad Girls is the stand out feature of the two to me. Taija Rae looks incredible in her scenes (especially the threesomes). The transfer by VS is incredible, and the colors really pop off the screen. Great double bill."
"Awesome double feature. Great vintage classics directed by Art Ben."
"At Play: features a good transfer for DVD but the film itself feels a little too contrived as an 80s pastiche sitcom. Good/Bad Girls: Dorfman does it better for the second feature in the Disc with a noir set tale of erotica."
"A sultry and fun combo"
"personally, these two films weren’t my favorite, but they’re visually stunning so I think that alone is worth buying but as for plot or anything else really I found myself often distracted but again for product this good quality. I’m not really gonna complain."
"Let's start with Women at Play. The film features horrible, repetitive music throughout. In every sex scene, there's a lot of sweat and fluids (not the ones you'd expect) everywhere... it isn't nice to watch! One of the guys has a huge purple sore of some description on his penis - I feel sorry for the actress who ended up with that thing in her mouth! It ends with an aggressive sex scene and then the audio seems to malfunction, with the music sounding like a heavily warped record. I'm trying to think of something good to say about it, but I'm honestly unable to think of anything. 'Good Girls, Bad Girls' had a great looking poster, but really didn't live up to it. It starts off as the other one more or less finished - another aggressive sex scene. After the ape has shot his load, you can clearly see the shadows moving from people behind the camera. I had made some other notes, but I appear to have misplaced them. Suffice to say I wasn't impressed with this film either and in all honesty, I wouldn't recommend this release."
"Colleen Brennan,Sharon Kane and the 80's in a two-fer.Great stuff.."
"Good vintage porn"
"Both plots centre around theatre plays"
"Two mid 80s film from cinematographer turned director, Art Ben. Featuring some great talent of the era including Sharon Mitchell. Fairly paint by numbers films, nothing too great here."
