This modern-day teen update of Les Liaisons Dangereuses suffered at the hands of both critics and movie-goers 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 step-siblings 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


Synopsis

All three movies in one set, where immoral manipulation is the thrill of choice for the anti-heroes of the CRUEL INTENTIONS series. In CRUEL INTENTIONS, a sexy tale of seduction and betrayal takes place between two filthy rich stepsiblings and a beautiful headmaster's daughter. In 'CRUEL INTENTIONS 2, Sebastian decides to turn over a new leaf and that also involves a new girlfriend. His step-sister, however has other plans and tries to make trouble for the couple. In CRUEL INTENTIONS 3, two students at Prestridge College set out to seduce the 'coldest' woman at the college; Cassie Merteuil.

5.0 out of 5 stars MOVIES THAT MAKE YOUR MOUTH WATER..., 5 Jun 2005
By A Customer
Three films to keep you on the edge of your seat.
The 1st a wonderful remake of a classic story told in a way that you keep wanting more and more.
The 2nd a failed pliot to a never seen Tv series, a sort of remake of the first but stands on its own two feet.Finally a 3rd film that sets the pace, wonderful story line , exellent actors, not as good as the first but still worth watching.
And for the price of these its a DVD set worth anybodies money.
Get it today but dont let the old folks see you watching it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all!, 3 Jun 2005
Cruel Intentions was (is) an excellent film, Gellar plays an excellent role as the two-faced evil super-bitch and the film is generally excellent, aswell as something you want to watch more than once.

Cruel Intentions 2, in my opinion, is awful. The actors really aren't very good looking which instantly takes the point away of the "beautiful rich kid" image. What's more, the plot is really rubbish and the corny evilness is WAY overdone. Secret popular societies in attics? Puh-leese...

Cruel Intentions 3 is a LOT better than 2...I wouldn't say it's quite as good as the original, but definitely worth watching. It's got really good looking people, several super-bitches...I think the characters in here are more evil than the other films. The plot is adequate, though again you are conciously aware that this kind of manipulation couldn't occur in real life, things don't slot into place that easily - whereas in the original, whilst this was still true, you didn't really notice it. A good film though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Builds Off the First, Ignores the Second, Add New Direction, 19 Jan 2005
By Yahya S. Badaoui "EgyptDVD.net" (Cairo, Egypt) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First there was Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos De Laclos. Then there was Dangerous Liaisons in 1988. This was followed by Valmont in 1989. We then had Cruel Intentions in 1999 which moved the story to high school age. This was followed by a retelling in Cruel Intentions 2 that should just be ignored. Then there was the mega epic Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 2003 (more than 3 hours). Finally we have Cruel Intentions 3 (2004) that acts as a direct sequel to Cruel Intentions by adding a cousin and then sets the tale at a very bizarre college.

Cassidy is a cousin of the characters from the first movie. She and tease-object Jason like to play games. The games start quick and fast as it almost seems like everyone is out to do in someone else. There is no virginal target in this one. That has been replaced with a faithful target (but definitely not a virgin). Oddly, she is the target of a third character named Patrick. Eventually the games of Cassidy, Jason, and Patrick do become dangerous (as well as cruel).

Unlike the first movie, however, while Cassidy is quite a snob, there is none of the evil cultured grace of the first film. These characters could have been anybody from any background. While the added Patrick dimension added a little originality it failed to make up for the loss of the evil cultured grace. I just hope we won't be seeing number 4.
