This modern-day teen update of Les Liaisons Dangereuses suffered at the hands of both critics and moviegoers thanks to its sumptuous ad campaign, which hyped the film as an arch, highly sexual, faux-serious drama (not unlike the successful, Oscar-nominated Dangerous Liaisons). In fact, this intermittently successful sudser plays like high comedy for its first two-thirds, as its two evil heroes, rich stepsiblings Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe), blithely ruin lives and reputations with hearts as black as coal. Kathryn wants revenge on a boyfriend who dumped her, so she befriends his new intended, the gawky Cecile (Selma Blair), and gets Sebastian to deflower the innocent virgin. The meat of the game, though, lies in Sebastian's seduction of good girl Annette (a down-to-earth Reese Witherspoon), who's written a nationally published essay entitled "Why I Choose to Wait." If he fails, Kathryn gets his precious vintage convertible; if he wins, he gets Kathryn--in the sack. When the movie sticks to the merry ruination of Kathryn and Sebastian's pawns, it's highly enjoyable: Gellar in particular is a two-faced manipulator extraordinaire, and Phillippe, usually a black hole, manages some fun as a hipster Eurotrash stud. Most pleasantly surprising of all is Witherspoon, who puts a remarkably self-assured spin on a character usually considered vulnerable and tortured (see Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Liaisons). Unfortunately, writer-director Roger Kumble undermines everything he's built up with a false ending that's true to neither the reconceived characters nor the original story--revenge is a dish best served cold, not cooked up with unnecessary plot twists. --Mark Englehart

Changing Movies Forever.......2007-04-28

I absolutely loved this movie! There is just no getting around it, the plot is well developed and the twists and turns that happen in the movie are very well done. I think that the casting was done really well; Sarah Michelle Gellar can play the bitchy attitude very well and Reese Witherspoon has always had that innocent girl next door look about her. it is most certainly a movie that I think would have the most appeal to teenagers and people in their 20s.

In 1999 a miracle happened, Cruel Intentions Happened.......2007-04-02

In 1999 one of the best movies ever made was released Cruel Intentions a movie about seduction and destruction. Srah Michelle Gellar plays the leading character deceptive Kathryn Merteuil who makes a bet with her cunning stepbrother Sebastion Valmont played by the incrediable talented Ryan Phillippe who plots to sleep with the headmaster's clever virginal daughter Anette Hargrove (Reese Whiterspoon)before the school year begins. The terms are if Sebastion doesn't succeed in sleeping with Anette than than hot little car of his is hers but if he wins she'll give him something he's been obssessing about ever since the day their parents got married: he would get to sleep with her. Other characters add to the plot like Cecile Caldwell (Selma Blair) a naive teen who Court Renyolds dumped Kathryn for. Blaine Tuttle (Joshua Jackson) an openly gay friend of Sebastion. Cecile's black chello teacher and crush Ronald Clifford (Sean Patrick Thomas). Gregory McConnell (Eric Mabius) the first on a list of suspects on who wrote Anette warning her about Sebastion's cruel intentions. Adding to the mix is Sebastion's overcharging pyhciatrist Dr. Greenbaum (Swoosie Kurtz) her easily seduced daughter Marci (Tara Reid)Cecile's prim and proper mother Bunny (Bunny Caldwell) and Sebastion's kind and generous aunt Helen Rosemond (Louise Fletcher). Now that you've been introduced to the characters lets talk about the plot.

Step-siblings Kathryn Merteuil and Sebastion Valmont had always like the game of seduction and they played it good. After being dumprf on 4th of July weekend, Kathryn learns he fell for naive Cecile Caldwell and offers Sebastion a challeng to seduce Cecile. But Sebastion suggests a greater challlenge to deflower the new headmasters virginal daughter Anette Hargrove before the school year begins. The terms are if he fails Kathryn gets his car and if he wins he gets to sleep with Kathryn. The game is taken to far and until the end of the summer no one will be able to escape their dangerous game of Cat and Mouse. And the biggest shock is the rule is broken when Sebastion begins to fall in love with Anette. Who will win?

I thought this was a fantastic movie. It had suspense emotion, drama, romance and even a little comedy throwed in. When people say this is just another teen movie they are so wrong. This movie had depth and wasn't just an idiotic film. Sarah Michelle Gellar shinned in this movie never like before. Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon were so convincing and the movie itself was brilliant. Cruel Intentiuons has become one of my favorite novies over the years so not much compares to it. I have not seen Dangerous Liasions but Cruel Intentions will probably turn out better in my view. Don't judge this movie too quickly. Don't look at it has a teen movie. If you ignore that you might find this movie quite good. I love this movie. It is thrilling, clever, sexy, dramatic, romantic, and a very good twisted love story. If I could give it more than 5 points I would!

Not a Selma Blair Fan.......2007-04-02

What's up with Selma Blair's retarded rag doll performance-it's disctracting and really not as funny as the producers seem to think.

Otherwise I think this film is sleek and perfect. I own and watch it regularly.

I really like this movie!.......2007-01-29

I truly think that this movie about love, lies, and deciet was very entertaining and held my interest throughout the entire movie. It is about two wicked stepsiblings who nake their way playing wicked and cruel games on people and victimize people. Thier latest mission involves a new college student who has no idea that the stepbrother is tricking her to win a bet. She also soesn't know that the stepsister who is always kind and wears a smile on her face is an extremely evil and hurtful person who cares only about being number 1 in her wicked life. I highly reccomend it to anyone who loves a good romantic thriller that even surpasses "Basic Instinct" A-

bad influence on kids.......2006-12-17

Sarah Michelle Gellar was gorgeous in her brunetteness. I didn't like the other actors in this movie and I didn't like this movie. It's a glossy movie that glamourizes meanness and Sarah Michelle Gellar's downfall in the end is so unlikely that I betcha some untalented and unlovable rich girls are out there right now sleeping around, taking drugs and sabotaging working girls like Tara Reid, Mischa Barton and Lindsey Lohan with initial false friendship. Sometimes we watch things we know ahead of time that we won't like because it's popular (e.g. Devil's Advocate) because we know it is going to have a social influence. Only by being exposed to the information, will the subsequent patterns of behavior be recognized.

naughty, naughty, naughty.......2007-06-27

Sarah Michelle Gellar playing the bad guy.....yummy. So used to her as the heroin and now to see her portray a sizzling and seductive character. In my eyes, she can do no wrong. And now, this tantalizing twisted flick hits the high-def arena, I jumped to see Gellar in all her glory. Sony's recent blu-ray releases are blessed with all the bells and whistles and spares no expense in providing them on dual-layer disks. The picture looks fabulous and included an uncompressed 5.1 PCM track to my listening pleasure. All I can say is, sit back and enjoy the ride.

The Rush St. Pierre is back!!!.......2007-06-27

Firs of all, let me start by saying that within the last 2 years I have become a huge fan of MMA, especially the UFC thanks to the energetic support from Spike TV making these events available and accesible to the masses; Not all the bouts in this event were great but just to have the Matt Hughes- St Pierre fight is totally worth the price; And even though St. Pierre is no longer the Welterweght champion, he is a well rounded fighter and I hope to see more of him in this sport; Solid effort by Zuffa distributing these dvds,

Long live the UFC

Good Card.......2007-06-10

This card really does have some bad intentions. The fights are as follows--Frank Mir vs. Brandon Vera, Alessio Sakara vs. Drew McFedries, Joe Stevenson vs. Dokonjonosuke Mishima, Nick Diaz vs. Gleison Tibau, Antoni Hardonk vs. Sherman Pendergarst, Hector Ramirez vs. James Irvin, Josh Schockman vs. Jake O'Brien. With a Sylvia vs Monson Heavyweight title fight and a Hughs vs St. Pierre Welterweight title fight. Every fight is a submission or exciting knockout save for the O'Brien/Schockman and Sylvia/Monson fights. Both of those can be fast forwarded since they are real snoozers. The others are all terrific and some highlight real events happen. This is a good event to add to your collection.

There's a reason you haven't heard of this straight-to-video "sequel" to the seamy teen romp that had Ryan Phillippe baring his polished behind: it's twice as bad as the first one and is only worth a look to see just how embarrassingly buttless it can get. Writer-director Roger Kumble's original was no classic, Lord knows, but at least the game, nubile cast knew how to smack its lips--his follow-up (which, in tamer form, was to be the pilot for a proposed series called Manchester Prep) can't even pout properly. Phillippe's Sebastian character (here played by a bland, doughy Robin Dunne) is carted back out to be reintroduced to scheming stepsister Kathryn, enacted by a woefully unsexy Amy Adams (Sarah Michelle Gellar played Sebastian's ripe cousin in the first film). The two don't hit it off, and Sebastian--far more sentimental than his big-screen counterpart--immediately decides he's all for love, in the form of pristine deb Danielle (Sarah Thompson). It all amounts to a ponderously cartoonish nothing, including a twist ending that renders everything proceeding it completely incomprehensible. Kumble has the film spouting homilies on love and self-esteem, then randomly throws in bare breasts; it's like a horny Saved by the Bell, without the kick or pacing of good camp. --Steve Wiecking

First movie is ALWAYS the best one than the second movie.......2007-04-16

This movie is pretty odd and little mix-up parts but it's ALMOST the same as the first movie. I always like the first movie better than this one. I ordered this movie because of Keri Lynn Pratt and that I really loved the first one and I was hoping this movie would be great one but it's not. I still have this movie but I hardly watch this movie because my boyfriend really love this movie so I dont bother sell it. Our things is ours so. I am warning you guys dont order this movie unless you REALLY want to see it then go rent a movie BEFORE you order it!! Save your money!!

up, down, back and forward, faster, faster.......2006-07-02

3 stars for the scene with Kery Lynn Pratt and the horse. Also
Amy Adams is to die for

Just horrible.......2005-10-14

I've seen the first Cruel Intentions, which I didn't like very much. Compared to this movie, the original looks like Casablanca. I watched this one on DVD. You can see why it's direct to video. i understand the characters are the same because it is a prequel. But the dialog and plot were virtually the same. What do you get with this one: cheap exploitation, racial sterotypes, and a ridiculous, unfathomable ending which is cut off all too soon.

First one=intriguing, second one=biggest mistake ever, third one= redemption.......2005-09-05

Now the Second one is pretty bad and tries too hard to be as good as the first. It is very hard to create a sequel as good as the first but this one certainly proves that point. Jurassic park two Lost world is worth it compared to this one. don't even waste the $3.00.

The Worst Sequel I have seen to date.......2005-05-08

This movie has horrible acting, and a storyline that is so farfetched its in outerspace. This is definetly not a movie for young people considering the constant inuendo and sex scenes. This movie only gets 1 star because that is the lowest option. If I could really choose it would get none. It is best to stick to the first which at least had wit and direction. Cruel Intentions 2 is the same storyline just trashier.

I watch this bec. or Melissa Yvonne Lewis, remember Joe Schmoe where she play the rich bitch, she did a superb job on that show, but on this movie, her acting is just a mediocre.

on the movie - just average, very predictable, nothing really exciting

This film sucks.......2005-10-14

Two guys at a college prep school make wagers on seducing naive young girls, and then meet their match when they agree to see which one can seduce the most popular and devious girl who has her own agenda to everything. I think this film is really sucks but I loved Cruel Intentions 1 and CI2 but this film sucked.

a worthy sequel.......2005-03-13

This movie was a worthy sequel to the original installment. They were clever, and didn't use different actors for the same charactesr, which almost always is a disaster (the exception, imo, would be Scarlet, the sequel to Gone With The Wind). Instead, they focused on Katherine's cousein, Cassidy, who's very worthy of being a successor, and her malevolent friend, Jason. The movie is charming, and has its own, different, plot. The ending is particularly good, because of the double-twist. The really interesting thing is that you're actually rooting for Cassidy and Jason to get together, and they do in a way.

The background music in this movie is normally good, and fits with the mood. However, it doesn't have something as awesome as Verge's Bitter Sweet Symphony.

If you liked this movie, I'd recommend reading Choderos de Laclos' book: it's a classic. I'd also recommend Marquis de Sade's _Juliette_.

Surprising. . ........2004-12-20

I bought this only because i loved the first one, hoping it wasn't as terrible as the second. After i watched it i was so impressed. First of all i loved that it really didn't have anything to do with the first, aside from Cassidy being Katherine's cousin,and sharing the same last name (there is only one reference to Katherine and Sebastian in the beginning). It is much better than having different actors playing old characters, which drags a movie down alot. I thought the story was great, with good twists.The whole cast is very attractive, which can't hurt either. The "bad" characters are all pretty likeable, aside from one, and all is well in the end. The best thing about this movie is the character Cassidy. I sarted out hating her, and ended up really liking her for her realness, and honesty she does not try to hide that she is a b*tch. This actress does a particularly good job, pulling off both loveable, and complete brat at the same time. I would definetly reccomend this movie.

Soooooo bad !!!!!.......2004-10-03

Yesterday, i was in a DVD store when i ran into this. As i had enjoyed the first movie quite a lot (and despite the second one which was awful) i decided to buy Cruel Intentions 3. Back home, i sat on my coach and started to watch... After 5 minutes, i was already wondering why on earth i had spent money on such rubbish.
This movie has nothing in common with the first one or the second one. It's the story of Katherine Merteuil's cousin, Cassidy (which doesn't have the class of Katherine and dresses more like a hooker), and of a friend of hers, Jason (played by Kerr Smith, seen in Dawson's Creek). Bye bye the luxurious mansions and appartments in New York and the picnics in Central Park... The story is here set in California, under the palm trees. The characters are sticky, insipid and unclassy. The movie goes in every direction. There are no surprises at all, everything is clear from the beginning.
It's the very first time i'm so dissapointed by a DVD i buy (and i have quite a lot...).
Do NOT buy this ! It's worth nothing !!!!!

Customer Reviews:

But what about my ACTING? No! Our RELATIONSHIP! No! My DIRECTING.......2006-01-17

90 percent of the dialogue in this film consists of three words: ACTING, RELATIONSHIP, DIRECTING
Heroine:"But what about my ACTING?"
Girlfriend:"You only think about ACTING! What about our RELATIONSHIP! Oh No! You're going to start ACTING again."

Audience: Oh no! She is. Make them all stop ACTING.

Heroine:"But When I'm ACTING I feel alive."
Girlfriend of Actress:"But what about our RELATIONSHIP?"
Jilted husband:"But what about our RELATIONSHIP?"
Cheating wife:"You don't care about our RELATIONSHIP! You just don't have any faith in my DIRECTING?"
Heroine:"But what about my ACTING?"

And yes, what about the ACTING? And DIRECTING?
This film provides some of the most inept examples of either I have ever been unfortunate enough to witness. The most abysmal scene, however, comes without dialogue. It's the love scene, in which the two women go through every clumsily lit pose in the love scene compendium,arched backs and silhouettes, all set to an atrocious song which goes something like

"strangeeers....loooooversss."

This film is one of those horrors where you seriously question your own ability to judge. If they didn't know they were making something this bad, does anyone?

Beck's Intentions captures the heart of the moment.......2005-05-04

"I've had that conversation before!" "I feel like she's telling my life story" are just a few of the many positive comments I heard when watching this movie with a group of friends. Beck manages to beautifully capture a simple but honest story about discovering ones sexuality and risking it all to figure out what you want and who you are. The lead actresses are superb without being over the top, and the story is nicely paced. I think most people (particularly women) will enjoy this movie, regardless of their sexuality.

Cruel Intentions
This modern-day teen update of Les Liaisons Dangereuses suffered at the hands of both critics and moviegoers thanks to its sumptuous ad campaign, which hyped the film as an arch, highly sexual, faux-serious drama (not unlike the successful, Oscar-nominated Dangerous Liaisons). In fact, this intermittently successful sudser plays like high comedy for its first two-thirds, as its two evil heroes, rich stepsiblings Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe), blithely ruin lives and reputations with hearts as black as coal. Kathryn wants revenge on a boyfriend who dumped her, so she befriends his new intended, the gawky Cecile (Selma Blair), and gets Sebastian to deflower the innocent virgin. The meat of the game, though, lies in Sebastian's seduction of good girl Annette (a down-to-earth Reese Witherspoon), who's written a nationally published essay entitled "Why I Choose to Wait." If he fails, Kathryn gets his precious vintage convertible; if he wins, he gets Kathryn--in the sack. When the movie sticks to the merry ruination of Kathryn and Sebastian's pawns, it's highly enjoyable: Gellar in particular is a two-faced manipulator extraordinaire, and Phillippe, usually a black hole, manages some fun as a hipster Eurotrash stud. Most pleasantly surprising of all is Witherspoon, who puts a remarkably self-assured spin on a character usually considered vulnerable and tortured (see Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Liaisons).

First is good, second is eh..........2005-01-18

The first Cruel Intentions was such a good movie, Actors you actually hear of, & can relate to(kinda), Sarah M. Gellar, Ryan Phillipe, and Reese Witherspoon were good charactars... The second one is not all that great, for some reason the story seems to be identical to the first, As much as I like the first, I wanted something different for the second, The charactars also had the exact same names, but they are clearly different people, They should have gotten the same actors if they wanted that!!!!!!!! No wonder it was a straight to video release, no one wants to pay to see the same film twice, stick with the first one, and I just got the 3rd(hopefully its a DIFFERENT story), but if I hadnt seen the first, I might have liked the second, but the reason I didnt is because it was the same story with inferior actors/actresses playing the roles, so 4 1/2 stars for the first, 2 1/2 for the second, It averages out to 3 1/2 stars.

This movie is amazing!! I loved it. I watch it every chance I get.

Cruel intentions.......2002-01-25

I loved the first movie (big fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar). The rest of the cast was also great in their roles. The basic plot is that Sebastian and Catherin are step siblings and they have wanted to ahve sex but know they can't (family reasons), so they make a bet that if Sebatian can sleep with Annette (the headmaster's daughter) that he will sleep with Catherine, and if he can't sleep with Annette, Catherine will get his car. The movie takes off from there and it is a great film for a Friday/Saturday night!

The second one, while great for a laugh (horrible acting, the actors do not even resemble the original cast) and it was cut from the series that they were going to make of the movie (Manchester Prep, never aired).

I will give it five stars (not going to punish it because of the prequel)

Such a bad movie they made a second!.......2001-09-20

The first movie was full of hammy and snobbish acting. Perhaps it was the point of the first movie to just be rude and awkward because the plot of this movie is that a boy bets his step sister that he can sleep with the new girl on campus. This is not an original plotline, but the added twist is that if the boy sleeps with this new girl, as part of the bet the step sister will give herself to her step-brother. Take that for what its worth. There was a good crop of rookie actors in the first movie, but then the second movie is not worth it at all. It was a B movie... which is why it went straight to video. If your a frustrated teen boy, you will love this movie for its sexual content. Otherwise, it is greatly overacted and over dramatic.

Manuvering and Mundame..........2001-09-05

I suppose as a 'teen' movie, and in comparison to other teen movies, Cruel Intentions could be seen as a 4 star flick, especially when you consider the above average acting of it's a-list cast.

Cruel Intentions, however didn't do anything except bore me. Obviously the actors cannot be blamed. The plot and direction (or lack thereof) is what seriously stunts this film. This is an R-rated movie. Why it was dumbed-down to the degree that it was baffles me. Cruel Intentions could have been far more vindictive, sexual, and ultimately more entertaining (and given the ending much more weight in any event), if the director had spun it in a more coherent way.

Alas, this movie falls completely flat on it's face. I found it neither funny, romantic or engaging - or naughty enough to keep me interested. The only good swing in this movie is that in the end, both characters get what they deserve. There are a lot of things that could be made into a movie. Why this book was ever made into a movie I'll never know.

One fair movie, three awful ones.......2007-03-22

Carnage, the legend of quiltface - four kids go out to the desert to take pictures of each other. A guy in a cheap Halloween mask chases after them with a machete. This movie is more laughable than scary, and I don't mean that in a good way. Quiltface is completely unintimidating, we get lots of very long scenes of people walking through the desert, and one guy spends the whole second half of the movie crying and freaking out. Might be good if you want to do an MST3K routine on it, but as an actual horror movie, it's awful.

Dead Seven - a couple of drug dealers kill a guy out in the woods and throw him down a mine shaft. A deaf mute stumbles onto the scene and they toss him down the mine shaft as well. A couple of months later, the drug dealers and their girlfriends start getting killed by a mysterious villain. This is easily the best movie of the bunch, it's actually got a somewhat interesting plot and Tracy Keijer is awesomely cute and gives us a topless scene. Tanya Dempsey looks hot as well. The movie is extremely low-budget, but at least they did something with what they had.

Hellinger - zero-budget Hellraiser ripoff. A girl's abusive father is killed by Hellinger, who is a Pinhead clone except without the pins and with a painful habit of overacting. Years later the girl is still having psychiatric problems, and her cousin the cop tries to help her. And Hellinger of course comes back. Most of this movie is just filler - a lot of these scenes don't advance the plot at all. Acting is often terrible. The lead girl is good looking and gives us a topless scene. There's a guy who's covered in tattoos from head to toe and we get him nude a couple of times. Good grief. There's also a brutal rape which is portrayed very graphically. The climactic special effects scene actually made me laugh out loud. Overall, this one is pretty lousy but it is possible to sit through the whole thing.

The Night Owls - four girls go to a house and spend a week talking, sunbathing, and talking some more. One girl starts getting very religious and interested in ancient myths. She eventually turns "evil" and goes after the rest of the girls. Acting is the worst I've seen in a while, utterly abysmal. Writing and directing are of the same quality. There's nothing like watching an "evil" person, in the climactic scene, quietly and impishly describing the whole supernatural scheme so you can barely hear her. This is the worst of the bunch as it isn't even comically stupid like Carnage, it's just really boring.

CHECK IT OUT!.......2006-02-05

Definitely Check Out This Set! THE NIGHT OWL is by far one of the best movies I have seen in years!

Night Owl - Part of the collection.......2005-10-27

I'd like to get more info on this collection of films. My good friend Cazzy Love, did some music for one of them. He is mentioned on the films web site (...)
I've rated it 5 stars, just because of the soundtrack, I've heard some of it from one of Cazzy's CDs.
